Yeah, I noticed that the airbox/rollhoop structure appeared to be missing or heavily damaged, but I wasn't able to find a photo of the uncovered car (I thought it was possible the driver's pod could be laying on its side under the tarp).
This photo did that to me.
I have seen some horrendous F1 crashes where the driver has eventually been OK. For that reason I tried to ignore the fact that they had covered his car with a tarp (usually because there is something they don't want photographed or because they are preserving it for an investigation), that ABC was claiming they had zero info on his condition, that Paul Tracy said a team of doctors was working on him and that it would take a long time to recover, that drivers and crew were emotional. I told my wife "he probably didn't make it", but I still kind of expected to hear that he was in critical condition.
I initially thought they should have resumed the race, but the image of Franchitti sitting in his car sobbing has stuck with me. Unfortunately, this is one of those things that seems weridly foreshadowed in hindsight, but I suppose everything once you've learned the outcome. Drivers said the track was too fast, too wide, too crowded, that the potential for serious accidents was high. Wheldon was in the race on a gimmick promotion, stuck at the back behind the slowest cars.

The new Car & Driver has an article that mentions Porsche using front and rear light decals on these kinds of cars. The tail lamps may be decals with holes cut for LEDs.
Hmm, CP-ish.
Come on people, don't make me register 97,300 fake accounts.
Supercharged Studebaker Grand Turismo Hawk? I am not sure if it is luxurious enough for this list.
The Mark II is (in my opinion) the best looking "personal luxury" car ever built.
The 1965 Riviera is one of my favorite cars ever. I'd put it on the list.
Here are images.
It is even weirder on the sixties Thunderbirds. You have this rocket-age design with this archaic design detail usually only found on hearses.
I love old Lincolns, and the "opera window" always bugged me. Oddly, I just realized I sort of like it, just hate the name.
Love T-Birds, but for me it has to be the landau top.
Give me a 'Camino. Even that 80s sort.
You forgot about the Nerf bumper.
Buy something local. They'll have the parts and it will be cheap.
There were 45,435 F-150s sold in April, making it likely that it eclipsed total Leaf + Volt + Tesla sales in just the last week.
- "Not bad."
How many F-150s were sold last week?
Well, for starters there are the guys who build their cars.
