I am still pondering Serenity's auto, but here is another to wonder about.

I admire the craftsmanship but it leans a little to the artsy side for me. I prefer the mid 50s- late 60s sportscars if I were at a show.

I agree. I saw these Saturday, at the local "old home day" parade. I motioned to the lady in the nova to spin the tires, & she actually did! Nice.

Sweet 70 Charger.

Wonder if that's an original Yenko Nova? There's a Nova of that body style for sale off the side of the highway on my way home. I've noticed it for years. Wonder what shape it's in.

​Serenity, might that be a Sears?

The strangest encounter I've ever had with a classic American car was in Austria in 1984. It was in some little town area outside Salzburg. It was a coffin-nose Cord sporting Texas plates. I was nearly run over minutes later in a crosswalk by a tour bus running a red light.

My grandparents owned a bakery. They had a couple! Late 40's - early 50's International Harvester Metro van. My grandfather and my father both drove them. They got rid of the last one around late 1963- early 1964. I used to "drive" it when I was a little tike. I cried when it got towed away. Incidentally, it was painted brown. I guess my fate was sealed when I was 4 years old.

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento...

A carbon fiber supercar with a 570-hp engine. Goes 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph. It's purely a track car, not street legal. It has a price tag over $2.5 million and only 20 will be made. All were pre-sold last year but delivery in 2013

That is a Delahaye. Spelling may be incorrect. Gorgeous cars. They're on my " win the lottery, buy one " bucket list.

There is only one thing on 'my win the lottery, buy one list.' A P-51D Mustang. Then, if I had enough money left, I'd do two chicks at the same time, man. 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
