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.

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.

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.

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.
