Default Fall Color Thread

As the leaves begin to change and our vettes suck down some cooler air, some of us might pause for a shot or two. I thought a thread with those pics might be cool.




Northern car owners: you're up first.

Could be a week or two before the fall colors really come out here. So far, the pics posted look great.

Beboggled, those are great shots. New Jersey is already turning that much? Wow.

Looks like M119 -- The Tunnel of Trees -- here in Michigan, northwest of me by Traverse City. Beautiful roads -- both M119 and those pictured.

Thanks for posting.

Color from last year's trip to the Tail of the Dragon. Going again in a few weeks and it can't get here fast enough. Oh ya, if you look close there is a radiator in there I had to clean it out several times a day. I have added a screen for this year's trip. Love all of the pics, thanks for posting.

Now in Oklahoma should not be a problem anymore !!!

Thinks I'm gonna head down to Mt Home AR and do a 72 mile loop called the Sylamore loop. I noticed you're from this area, have you ever done it? I'm in Camdenton, MO.

Love the pics, but hate fall.

It means Ms. Winter is right behind.

Thanks! It's a numbers matching all original survivor. L46 M21 3:70 car

There's a big thread in the c3 section dedicated to it. Cliffs: My dad bought it new in 1969. Had it near 40yrs. My parents divorced - car was sold while I was in school. Gone 10yrs. I tracked the car back down and drug it out of a barn where it sat dormant (not even 200 miles added) and mildly exposed. Took me awhile getting back up to snuff. It's a 5 footer as it's original paint, but it still looks great. I try to drive it as much as I can and just enjoy it. Still have a few small things left to address.
