Joe Handley Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's built at the same plant as the new 500X in Italy, literally the first Jeep ever built off shore and brought to North America, maybe the first built outside of the States for North American sale! Kinda surprised they aren't building the NA Market ones here in Illinois with the Dart, as the platform is related to the Dart, new 200, and KL Cherokee.

Harry Joy Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I got a promotion about eight months ago that puts me on the road a lot. I'm building a 66 olds 442 after driving behind one from Memphis to Jackson, MS for a couple of hours. Two days ago, I "got stuck" behind a cherry red 1957 Chrysler 300 for 15 minutes. But today, I drove from Memphis to Tupelo, MS and for the entire trip I seemed to be in a caravan of classic 60s GM cars. At least a dozen Chevelle's, 60s Camaros, GTOs, Plymouths, Buicks, classic family wagons like Town and Country's, more Chevelles, and on and on. Pity was, I am sure the show was in Tupelo, but I met one of my bosses in there and never was able to find where the show was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Saw a '66 T-Bird convertable, '67 Camaro convertable, and recent Suzuki Kizashi sedan....which seems to be almost as rare as the other two around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne swayze Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Out for a drive today after having blood work done, and went down a road in the country, and saw several old vehicles parked in a cluster, the ones that put a BIG smile on my face were a pair of '47 Ford pickups covered in surface rust.

graeme838 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I spend quite a bit of time each week in Mayfair, London (our office is next door to the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square)...and although I don't always have the time to get pictures, I see a lot of cool/expensive stuff. Most impressive was probably a gold-plated (not painted - google it for some images) Bugatti Veyron parked outside the Dorchester Hotel, but in some place Lambo's and Ferrari's are quite common. The highlight, if you can call it that, is now being called the Arab Summer, because the rich young Arabs come to stay in their London residences during their summer, but have their cars shipped over for them - hence the gold plated Veyron. There is a also a specialist car dealer - Bob Forstner - on Park Lane which deals with Brabus cars and often has things like a Mercedes 300SL, DeLorean and so on in the window - earlier this week there was a James Dean style Porsche in the window. I'll try and get some pictures as I go around. Edited June 11, 2015 by graeme838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Some recent interstate encounters: I 90 between Erie and Cleveland: I 76 between Akron and Youngstown, Military convoy with what looked like ancillary equipment for a missile battery Six trucks with one carrying a radar dome trailer set similar to the old Renwal/Revell Hawk missile set, another with 4 wheel trailer/carriers for something round. I think the trucks were OshKosh's if anyone can pin it down post it please. greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Saw it in the parking lot where I work. A completely restored 1969 Shelby GT 500, 428 Cobra jet. White with blue striping & a black interior. This is not it, but an exact replica. There are no palm trees in Minnesota! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not actually on the road but on a specialist car lot near my home: Opel Rekord - like a mini 63 Chevy Bond Equipe. Never seen one before and don't know much about it except that was made in England and appears to be based on a Triumph Herald You can hire this Karmann Ghia - for $450 a day.

peekay Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 A few more... Interesting that there are kits of the other two but not the Jag Renault Alpine Always cool stuff on this lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Marischal Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 It's a Bond Equipe GT4S and yes it is Triumph Herald based. There was also a 2 seater version with single headlamps. The next, revised version was based on the Vitesse and was called the 2 Litre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Equipe The Bond Equipe is an English 2+2 sports car, manufactured by Bond Cars Ltd from 1963 to 1970. It was the first 4-wheeled vehicle from Bond Cars. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 A 1969 Olds Cutlass(no 442 badges anywhere)...dark green with black steelies and dog dish hub-caps. Sounded VERY healthy with the Flowmaster's. Actually, I saw it twice. Once at a gas station and then again heading towards the freeway by my house.

W-409 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yesterday while I was Cruising around with my '60 Impala here in Finland, I spotted a blue '69 Oldsmobile Cutlass, very clean & red '68 Camaro with white SS Stripes, an early '70s Chrysler Convertible and a green '53 Hudson Hornet. I also saw one late '30s / Early '40s Pickup that I had absolutely no clue on what was it. I bet it was really rare, I've never seen one like that before.

Harry P. Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Same exact wheels as I have on my '67 Impala convertible. Great minds think alike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The pic doesn't do it justice. It had ghost flames on the delivery sides, we're the the windows would be on the Nomad. It was a beautiful car in person. I would mind cruising it around town, not one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
