Show me a nice old car

Since were were the Bicentennial State going in to 1976, our license plates were emblazoned with the motto. The one small problem is Pennsylvania is officially a commonwealth and not technically a state:

Just developed! Love the way Elite Chrome 200 renders.

css9450, your Pontiac Fiero is a gem! My brother-in-law has had two, likes them. An interesting experiment by Pontiac, which IIRC they claimed to be an effort for an economical personal commuter car, avoiding the sports car aspect! I had a Toyota MR2 which used the same concept of shifting a front-drive power package toward the rear. Results in very responsive handling, doesn't it... Fun!
 
Yet another wildfire has started here in Northern California, and the Glass Fire burning in wine country has already destroyed several wineries. I took this photo of a International Harvester Loadstar 1600 fire engine at Schweiger Vineyards last year. It might be the one that they are taking turns sleeping in, and using to put out spot fires on Spring Mountain. 🙁

First generation Honda Acura NSX. I don't know the exact year of this car but it sure looks good.

Some nice old British roadsters as seen at the wedding of my wife's cousin many years ago. The big Healey was restored by my wife's uncle after being salvaged from a life as a lawn ornament sitting next to a barn for far too long.

Just curious, where was this? Has a New England look to it.

The Fiat X1/9 was another like this. I recall they were prone to spins; I think the Fiero and MR2 were the same way. A feature of the mid-engine layout.
