W/NW - Classic Cars

[Yokosuka Mike]

I'm interested in seeing images of automobiles that could be described as: Classic, Vintage, Collectible, Rare, Restored...
The Vehicles (Cars, Trucks, Vans...) don't have to be pristine museum pieces but they should be road worthy and drivable.
Please, no clunkers or cars abandoned in somebody's backyard or out in the woods to rot.

Thank you,
Mike

Here's my 1974 Mercedes-Benz 240D. It's all original, not restored, and has just over 100,000 miles on the odometer.

Now that's what I'm talking about! What a beauty! Greg, thank you for sharing.

Not only is the car outstanding, the quality of the image is great too!

All the best,
Mike

Impossible to keep up with the likes of that gorgeous Honda S800 that @Yokosuka_Mike posted, but a Volkswagen Beetle is about as classic as it gets, right?

This car sold as the Volvo 122S in the US. It is a car that I greatly admired and aspired to have in the 1960s.

I did have an old, worn 1961 544 in the late '60s, and I later had an old, worn 1962 122S in 1977 (until I lost it to an accident). (I replaced the 122S with a Renault R10.)

I still have pamphlets for the 1966 and 1967 Volvo 122S, that I acquired as a teenager.

Thanks for posting this photo and triggering old memories.
