The variety in the few AMX3 concept cars made, 10 total I've read, but interestingly not alike in tail lights, and rear deck

Above image 2007 Meadow Brook Concours Above images 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed by Ilya Holt and from 2007 Meadow Brook Concours Above 4 images were taken in 2004, at the Bizzarini Expo in Brussels by Dirk de Jager and all the above photos are from http://www.supercars.net/cars/2982.html Notice the above museum car has a side marker light behind the rear wheel that only one of of the following do. Lower door racing stripe and AMX 3 callout looks really good, and the rear deck styled partition with air foil over the tailights Really don't like the above rims. images from my many posts on the AMX 3... I hope you take a moment to see the differences in these different models, the bottom one having the coolest looking wheels, but I bet it's...

I'm impressed and amazed by the obscurity of 1967 fashion photoshoot at the Irwindale Raceway, with drag racer Danny Ongais, driver for MT & Leong

So you too must be wondering, who in the hell thought dragsters and womens fashion couture had anything in common? It was Vogue magazine, April 1967 issueFrom http://community.livejournal.com/ru_glamour/2737588.html who did a poor repost of the originals at http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f109/us-vogue-april-15-1967-twiggy-bert-stern-69487.html and I was immediately reminded of the 1968 fashion magazine photo shoot with the Dodge line up for 1969: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_24.html and a one page Dodge Dart ad http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/picture-is-worth-thousand-words-except.html...

McGee Company for modifications. These modifications included a large public address system. The limousine interior was left pretty much unchanged, but the front-end sheet metal around the hood area was rounded to give the appearance of being...

Airstream, the USS Hornet, and NASA , Quite a combination, and not the first time I've posted about NASA's airstream, incredibly enough

Hornet, July 24, 1969.Via http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a11/ap11-S69-21881HR.jpg from the unusual and NSFW website http://melisaki.tumblr.com/page/91For more on the NASA airstream: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/remember-apollo-astronauts-getting.h...

Melisaki.tumbler.com has a cool variety of car and aircraft photos, here's a couple

1910 Fiat S76, the beast of turin, 28.3 liter engine Cord 810 & Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie 1936 What happened to the high level of restroom cleanliness as the high priority?

Drving a 1908 Maxwell, because as a long running joke Jack Benny was playing a miserly guy who wouldn't waste a cent on anything better than a 1923 Maxwell.Jack Benny appears onscreen driving a Maxwell in the film It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad WorldAn antique 1923 Maxwell automobile owned by Jack Benny, the "Cheapest Man in the World" was used as a running gag on both radio (first appeared in 1937) and later on his TV comedy series THE JACK BENNY SHOW/CBS/1950-64. Jack insisted that he could always get a few more miles out of his beat up jalopy. But for all of his tinkering, the car usually drove for about 15 minutes at which time the radiator boiled over, forcing Jack to wait for the engine to cool down before moving along. Jack bought the car second-hand...

Unless you knew the make, you'd never guess what type of car this is
