Beautiful Cars & Trucks

My best friend's father, when my friend and I were in our early teens, had a huge field of Volkswagen cars, vans, pieces and parts and I grew up loving the style and simplicity. We could change a motor out in less than an hour and we drove some outrageous modified VWs and I will always have a fond spot in my heart for them.

1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Hide-Away Hardtop. This car just sold for $33,075 on Hemmings. Just happened to be watching when the auction ended.

I had a small plastic toy convertible car whose top rotated  under the seating area. This was several years before Ford did this, and I remember my father telling me real cars would one day have retractable hard tops. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

Looks as though some collector got a bargain

Your dad had good vision for the future. And yes, it really surprised me when the bidding stopped at 33,075.
