Show me a nice old car

Rarely seen in North America, early 90s Nissan's Figaro really isn't that old, but it is retro cool.

Wow, the Beast of Turin, in the flesh! I first read about it in this article. The sound of that engine firing up in the video is amazing:

Side note, the AutoWeek site has an interesting feature wherein the author uses ancient film cameras to take photos at wrecking yards. This article has a Kodak Hawk-eye Brownie No. 2 shooting at a junkyard:

The Beast is regularly to be seen at certain events, Duncan is a member of the Bugatti Owners Club (he has a type 35 and an aero engined Edwardian special too - all of which he races). He gave a lecture on the project of rebuilding the Beast, which was fascinating and when starting up it spits fire.

I love the link! I shot with my 1932 Leica III to try and capture cars of like era.
 
Very nice Nick!
