Chevy Impala, I think it’s a 1964
'62 according to this handy identification guide.
Cool, thanks for that. It wasn’t easy to differentiate.
Yeah, I was just wondering if it carried a few hundred gallons to start fighting the fire while things get set up. Or for a car fire for instance when their are no hydrants near by.
1967 Morgan Plus 4.
Restored by previous owner, repainted by current owner of 12 years.
Nice Morgan. I saw a green one a few years back, in downtown San Carlos CA. They are beautiful.
A nearby neighbor has bought (or leased) a Rivian R1S. It looks nice in red. And it is quite big.
I found my pictures of that Morgan Plus 4. This was from three years ago. I may have posted this, not sure.
I have no idea what year this is.
I should have grabbed some shots of the interior, but by the time I thought of it he was driving off.
those type of cars really need to be painted in British Racing Green, right?
BRG has a rich history and tradition, but many British cars are painted in other colors.
It’s a modest rebody and upscale version of the 1971-1973 Mustang, just before Ford went to the Mustang II and Mercury turned the Cougar into a badge-engineered Thunderbird.
Fun fact: cars in international racing series before the sponsorship era wore colors based upon where they were from. England was green, Italy was red, Germany was silver/white, the US was blue with white stripes, and France was solid blue. Thus British Racing Green isn’t just a fanciful name, it was the official required color for British cars, hence the early Lotuses and Coopers in F1.
thx, i had no idea
Wikipedia has a list with examples:
The US also used white with blue stripes, as on Chapparals and Cunninghams. When Ford & Shelby used the white stripes over blue, they liked to call the color “Ford Racing Blue”.
Back in the day when their sponsors did not cover the entire car with slogans.
No, Dodge is a division of what was known as the Chrysler Corporation before becoming Daimler-Chrysler, then Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Well, I’m in Monterey for Car Week, so I could saturate this thread with all the astonishing vehicles I saw today, both here in town and down at the Goodings action at Pebble Beach. I’ll be at Laguna Seca all day tomorrow so my list will inevitably grow.
To sum up today though, how about this Countach with twelve, count ‘em, TWELVE exhaust tips.
Edit: there was a detail guy working on that car, going farther up those exhausts than I think my proctologist went during my last colonoscopy.
One for each cylinder? Uh. 12 mufflers? Or do they just say the heck with that.
Has a ways to go yet.
