    While my favour may fall upon the frill I photographed myself, I've been particular toward this piece:

    I never know the Jaguar leaper was an aftermarket accessory prior to being brought in-house. So modding goes back quite a ways, doesn't it?

    Just not up on my art-deco nekkid chicks, I guess- didn't get any until #4. I knew what #7 was, though, so I'm patheticly proud of that.

    Personally, I like the earlier star a little better.



    Because, as we all know, Mercedes was at once a separate company from Benz, until Gottleib Damiler and Karl Benz got together and merged.

    That. Was. Awesome. And fun, too! I enjoyed looking through websites trying to find the ornament before I clicked on to the next page. The last one had me stumped, though, and I gave up.


    I did find this one, though. It's the Spirit of St. Louis from a 1928 Hudson Super Six.

    I love the photo gallery, but for the benefit of those of us born after 1950 could you take a few shots of an entire vehicle? I'd love to recognize one of these one day.

    I've always loved the minty little seashell grille on ol' Dutch's namesake. Not as much as I love the sliding doors, though.

    @FstrPssycw: When I was a little kid, I would sometimes see a Kaiser Darrin driving around my hometown. No, really. It was that same light green color, so it's not out of the question that the same car was at the concours. Sadly, I never got to meet the owner, and I haven't seen the car driving around in at least ten years. I've loved the Kaiser Darrin ever since then, even if it does have a wheezing flathead straight-six.

    Oooh! 57 Olds? Those are so less common than their other 57s from Chevy MoPar and Ford.


    Also some wicked Tuck & Roll upholstery--it appears to match the Darrin?

    What's with the reddish V-dub? I understand the gold one with the luggage rack, but the other not so much.

    Great shots--the Imperial--but the Scimitar? Hello 63 Chevy + Edsel wagon ass.


    I'd certainly do a gawk through the elegant part, and then I'd be out in the parking lot where the working' cars are.

    I'm now a fan of beater Aston Martins. I'm already an AM fanboy, now I'm just moving a little down the scale. That is awesome. I would buy that then move into a fancy trailer park in a heartbeat.
