Wish my boyfriend drove this...

[Dralowid]

It's a car, not a plane.

Lycoming made engines for the original Auburns. But then how would I know? I'm a Brit!

Just sayin...
I'd rather have my Boyfriend Drive This ...

Will this one do????

What a stunning car ...
Makes you wonder why we produce what we do these days...

Hi Michael,
If you ever visit the Daimler Benz Museum in Stuttgart, you will see some awesome cars. One of them is a huge convertible. It is a piece of art. A Van Gough Mercedes, so to speak. It is that beautiful.

Another beauty was a convertible that used to belong to the King of Iraq. There were only three such Hunting Mercedes ever made. The car had a stool on the outside on which the King would sit, while trying to hunt.

Ah, Helen, but have you ever driven, or been driven in, a Jaguar E-type?? Even Enzo Ferrari said it was the most beautiful car ever made (probably talking about the Series-1 model).

No Martin I haven't...
shall we Go for a spin ...

Helen That's one of my favorite cars!

The one on the OP is also a true work of art no matter what it is. Normally my appreciation of cars is seriously skewed by my engineering background but in cases like this aesthetics trumps all.

Alright Rob...I'll Succumb
Agreed !

Will this one do????

Lovely shot Vince !

... the car or the chap in the hat?

Not into the color RED for Cars... maybe for my Nails
so I will take the Chap in the Hat...

She is thinking: can I still be a Socialist and have a boyfriend that drives this.

The hatch behind the sign is for golf clubs. Could also be used to hold leaflets for the march, I suppose.

I had one, a 1962. Nothing like it, expensive to keep up, but boy when you landed on the freeway at 90 mph. I would still have it but some jerk stole it. I called the police after a week and asked if they had any leads: 'no, we don't even look for them just put them on the hot sheet.'

Shouldn't everyone live this well?

I wonder what Ferry Porsche considered to be the most beautiful car ever made? Perhaps the 904 GTS?

... or the Jaguar XK-E the same as Enzo did perhaps?

Michael: if you like this Auburn, do a google image search on "Duesenberg SJ". The chassis weight alone of some Duesenbergs exceeded 5,000 lbs, if I remember correctly. The Great Depression eventually swept away Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg, not surprisingly, given their expense.

There is no room for photo gear or a tripod so you can keep that car. I prefer driving my old beaters.
