Absolutely!  She’s awesome - she sends me pics if she sees something I might like, brings me kits from the Hobby Store...lucky guy!

Now if she’d just let me trade our 2010 Civic for something dangerous and impractical... ?

I have a good one also.She knows  tri five chevy and lots of stuff like that. 54 years this Sept.

Happened upon this beautiful Desoto at a gas station this morning.

I had to swing by and snap a pic.

That DeSoto really is a nice looking car!!     Would make a nice model.

Looks like the box art for AMT's new Coca Cola 59 Desoto.

The license plate on the DeSoto is really cool.

I know of at least 3 new Vettes near us - and spotted another today.  They’re eye catching!

Yes, they are “eye catching” just like the Ferraris that they are copied from?

I saw two new Corvettes on the street near the local auto mall the other day.  They still had some of the transport wrap on them.

Honestly, at first glance I thought that's what it was until it got closer ?

[TransAmMike]

Yeah, Chevy didn't copy the Ferrari much huh.

Like when they borrowed the shape of the 250LM for the 68 Corvette?

[Venom]

Saw this Porsche and Studebaker on my way home for lunch today. Not sure which one's prettier?

[OldNYJim]

Person who can identify this old muscle car from this terrible photo gets a coconut*



It sounded cool - I wasn’t fast enough (or willing to break the speed limit enough) to catch it, but I could hear it long after I stopped seeing it ?

Oh... so you don’t even know what it is... So how are you going to know who guesses right and wins the coconut??

I suppose I’ll guess 67 Cougar or Cyclone

The roofline, side crease and rear bumper looks like a ‘70-72 Buick Skylark or GS.

Yeah, I think I agree

[Venom]

71 Buick GSX is the mystery car  ???

[Rob Hall]

I’m thinking ‘70 GS—no GSX stripes, and it looks like the rear plate is lower like the 70 was.

Either way, it’s definitely a Buick, so you win the coconut????

I did have 2nd thoughts looking at the rear pic, was thinking possibly a ‘69 GTO with the Judge wing, but the side quarter creases definitely look more Buick.  

[Venom]

Here’s the 71 GS ... That’s really what I think it is now. The color even looks the same, and the wheels. Just without the vinyl top.

Here’s a 71 GTO in a similar color, except the taillights on the mystery car look more like the Buick because they don’t appear to wrap around the bumper’s edge. I’m still stuck thinking it’s a ‘71 model for sure though.
