Wheels Day 2015 (2/2)

Just like the Lesney toy:


928 teledials looking at home on a MKI Golf:


And another tuff-looking Hawk. Brit-born Tri-Chevy heaven:


"HOT PURSUIT!"


Pontiac Laurentian Safari:


This 100E couldn't possibly piss off the purists:


Polishing: you're doing it right/wrong:


1950 Chevrolet Tin Woody wagon:


She's got claws:


Sidevalve Minor was a honey:


JZR kit car sports Honda V-twin power:


Nice Nash. Or is it Austin?




Not a Kubelwagen per se; all the body panels are hand made:


For some reason, this particular Type 2 does it for me:


1961 Mercury Comet:


Coss the boss:


Scabby Volvo 144:


Wide steels suit this Mini van:


Its shocking to think how rare HB Vivas are now, considering they were a rival for the MKI Escort:


The Lincoln-Mercury show; 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator:


This Continental doesn't drift:


And a 1972 Mercury Marquis:


Not to be outdone, here come more Mopars: 1970-76 Plymouth Duster:


Plymouth Fury III:


And Super Bees:


Two Dodge Chargers rudely interrupt the Plymouth love-in:


'Cuda shaker:


And on a complete tangent, an AMC Javelin:


They look fun:


This bike-powered Cinquecento especially so:


Small-block Ford power resides within this spaceframed MKI Escort:


Its not often you will see a rodded pre-war Aston Martin, if indeed it is a real one:


1963 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday hardtop:




1967 Pontiac Bonneville:


Eight lug wheels; the rim is bolted to the centre, which is actually the brake drum:


1959 Chrysler New Yorker convertible:


The Olds Fold: 1954 Oldsmobile 88:


And 98 Club Coupé from 1947:


Is it like greased lightning?


Those dang Mopars keep wanting to hog the limelight: this is a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere station wagon demanding your attention:


Air-cooled shenanigans cometh:


'56 Ford Country Squire. Butlins had a motorcycle club?



1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe Convertible:


Dem bones dem A-Bones:



Its a Montego. A '74 Mercury Montego, sister car to the Ford Torino:


I never tire of seeing this Carrera Panamerica Hudson Hornet; twin Webers on a flathead six sound wild:


After all of the 50's Yank tin, a lil' old Limey custom from the Rootes stable:


'54 Chevy Bel Air. With patina:


Its a pick-up freak show:


'68 Plymouth Satellite Sport Wagon; 9 seats and bags of cool:


We're outta here. Taxi!
