Show me a nice old car

Seen in my town in south-western Australia. We are easing the lockdown now, allowing get-togethers of ten people but socially-distanced. As they said in the Northern Territory recently, allow at least a small crocodile's length to the next person.

Wow, now that is a nice old car! Well seen and taken, John.
 
Another BMW, this one a 1999 M3, the final year of this body style, and mine at the time. Had just chased that train for 20 miles through the canyon...

Somewhat older....
Late-1940’s vintage Studebaker coupe with custom paint job and wheels. Without the front bumper, it’s clear the front styling is inspired by WWII fighter aircraft, and other styling elements were advanced for the time.

Could you leave this in the car park and just walk away? It takes some doing...

And I hope someone notices the registration number.

Oh dear, that didn't go well. I haven't got the hang of inserting pictures into replies. Please can someone rescue me by logging in and reposting my picture. (I couldn't find 'Noddy does insertion of pictures' anywhere, nor how to get them the right size.)

Thanks

Hi Andrew- I've pulled a trick to add a larger version of your photo. This and other techniques are outlined at length in a sticky thread in RFF's Help/Feedback forum... A look there could be helpful, especially if you start at the end for the most recent comments!
 
Amazing conversions, both... Chrysler-product 4-door made topless! And a '64 or earlier rear-engine car made front-engined! What creativity born of necessity.

Very cool, Doug, and a nice capture!

My dad bought an MG TD, same color, in 1951, a few months before I was born. His was one of four MG owners in the greater Seattle area.

After that, he moved on to a TF 1500, an MGA, and an MGB. So, I grew up with the notion that a man drives a car with a stick shift. And I still can't get past that notion!

Thanks! Are you my cousin by chance? :) My uncle in West Seattle (long gone to the heavenly Morris Garages) had a red one like this, then added a yellow MG TF which he autocrossed. Active in MG car club, struggled to keep both MGs fit for the road! I suspect red is a favored color for roadsters...
