There is just no accounting for taste . . . or the complete lack of it.

I could learn to like pink; it's the only one that appears normal.

If I had my choice I would take the C1 that fell off the trailer.
Of all of them, it might be able to be fixed.

My immediate thought, when I first saw that picture years ago, was, after the first 12 or 14 inches, the rest of the car would be okay, so, to fix the first 12 or 14 would be worth it, and doable.

Saw this one at a local car show recently, it won a trophy.
Sorry for the bad cell pic.

I have seen this one around over the years, not to my taste, but someone put a lot of time and effort into it.

Probably built around the time "Corvette Summer" came out, there were a few like that.




A local fellow built this '67 about 30+ years ago, back then they were just old cars.






Life would be boring if we all drove the same car.

Funny but I passed what I thought was the yellow car with the Greenwood wing on the back not too long ago in a lot east of Griffith Park in those neighborhoods.

A few of those were done for the movies, like the first Death Race 2000 car.

I think the Pace car Limo is here in LA.

I like the one where someone is trying to do an imitation Pagoni Zonda R.
