These are around with low miles and not too expensive. Late 1970s Corolla soldiers onward! This one is exact car my father in law had! They lied! They would not sell it to me for $17! Bait and switch I tell ya! Might be time for new glasses? That Corolla is from the 90s…

A slip because I once had a 78 Corolla Deluxe wagon. I’m waiting on delivery of a 3D printed one from the Ukraine! Our green sedan was a 1994. My father in law gave it to my older daughter who passed it down to her younger sister. We later gave it to my nephew who had it until recently.
jaymcminn Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Running errands (one of which was a new battery for the Miata, or that's what I would have been driving) and this was among the sea of Porsches and McLarens on the road. Late first-generation NSX. 2
espo Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 14 hours ago, Rob Hall said: The large wheels are a giveaway that it’s a replica. The real ones in the 60s had maybe 14-inch wheels Hard to tell just what diameter these wheels are in the picture. I wouldn't rule out even 17' diameter reproduction wheels. From the side view all of the open wheel well showing makes me think maybe an even lower profile tire as well. As for the original Gulstrand Corvettes I'm pretty sure they would have been a 15" diameter wheel since that was sort of the standard of the time. I don't recall ever seeing a 14" wheel option on any Corvettes since they all had larger diameter brake drums or discs depending on the application. See these reproduction Corvettes pop up at Mecum auctions often.

RSchnell Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) A few I spotted this morning while out & about. I never miss a chance to ride down an area looking for cars. Note the trees growing up around the side of that '65 Galaxie! Edited February 16, 2023 by RSchnell 2
