Administrators Eric Posted August 16, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2017 I was raised around antique/classic/rare cars, street rods, race cars, etc. I've worked on them since I was old enough to turn a wrench and I've lived and admired them all my life. It just occurred to me that TBS has been up almost a week and we have yet to have a thread for really exotic cars. so, let's post pictures of some truly exception cars, that many here have probably never seen, or have had little exposure to. There are only a handful of large car manufacturers, but there used to be hundreds of them. There have been an unbelievable variety of cars and trucks made, in the hundred-twenty or so years of the commercial history of horseless carriages. Let's post some pics of some cool ones. Name them, if you recognize them and post some yourself. here is a damned fine one, to lead things off.
