Administrators Eric Posted October 28, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2017 I just ran across this pic. I'm not usually a fan of Deuce Coupes. Street Rods like this, T-Buckets, etc have become so formulaic. This is a clean, simple, but very well executed car though. I love the color and all the basic, old-school touches. I wouldn't mind having a ride like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind having a ride like this. Actually, I would love to build a car old-school and simple like this, but lengthen the nose about a foot. Then, get one of the LS-based V-12s that a company is making now. They cut one block in half and then insert the middle four cylinders of a second LS engine in the middle. It is one hell of a good looking engine and it sounds amazing. I would install it with a very clean, minimalist look to it. That would be a badass street rod.

Administrators Eric Posted October 28, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2017 Or maybe an LS-based reproduction of this Cadillac concept V-16 engine. Damn, that would look good in a Deuce Coupe! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm not a big fan of open top English sports car, but the Austin Healy 3000 is so much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I wonder who said, "I know. Let's put a Dodge 440 cubic inch engine into a British car." And, did a British manager actually say, "okay." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_Interceptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved riding around in one of those. The month before I went into the Marines (1966) I had friends that drove me around in a VW Bug, a Corvair and an Austin Healy 3000. Lots of miles and lots of fun. When I got home I wanted them all but the only one I could afford was a used Bug. Still had lots of fun thinking about the Austin Healy.

[ATTACH=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","title":"IMG_1973.JPG","data-attachmentid":7591}[/ATTACH] I've always been a big fan of Studebaker pickup trucks. My old man had a green one when I was a young kid. I spent hours bouncing on that couch sized bench seat while cranking on the steering wheel. I love that red one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossmember Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The Maharaja of Mysore's 1911 Silver Ghost Landaulette. This is from concept cars showing the Mysore 1911 Ghost. Interesting read and an amazing car. The rulers of India, the Maharajas of various states and city-states, were loyal customers of the Rolls-Royce marque. Many lived a very lavish lifestyle in palaces with staff and attendants to wait on their ever need and desire. When they traveled they were often accompanied by large numbers of guards, retainers, family and staf... Continue Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
