Vintage & Classic Cars

[Kariba]

Interest is fading, it seems.

But I love the topic, so I'll post a few more before I let this thread die

*****WATERMARKED PHOTO REMOVED*****

[JayEmm]

just the one

Looking at my post above:
Pic 1 is a 1925 Renault
Pic 2 is a 1951 Cadillac
Pic 3 is a 1958 Austin Healey Sprite
Pic 4 is a 1964 Chevy
Pic 5 is a 1966 Mercedes Benz SL190
Pic 6 is Nancy adorning a Corvette C5 (2003)

Corrections and comments always welcome. Post some more if you like.

Sorry Mods, I didn't notice the watermark. My eyes focussed a little higher on the page.

Classic cars derive most of their appeal from their shape and beauty. It's like cosmic forces intersect at one particular time and space to create something that's really special. When modern replicas are built, the appeal can be lost if the dimensions of the replica are only a little different. A wise imitator copies without change.

It's the same with models, I guess. Pamela Anderson was totally hot in her first Playboy shoot. But she messed around with that perfect cosmic original adding unnecessary stuff and now she looks like a grandma that splashed around in a contaminated fountain of youth.

Dismount from the hobby horse and post some pics. OK

No 1 is a 1926 Renault
No 2 is a 1934 Peugeot
No 3 is a 1944 Willys Jeep
No 4 is a 1958 Pontiac
No 5 is a 1964 Chevy

Comments and corrections are always welcome. Post some pics too, if you like.

Thanks for the post, Jayemm. I think the car is a 2002 Renault Twingo and the occupant is a 1961 Madelaine.

Twingos are remarkable cars. They are simple and economical on the outside, but the interior is elegant and luxurious

Here's what I mean:

Well the one in my pic is indeed a 2002 Twingo, but would you believe a 1967 wife?

Whoops, Jayemm!

Please convey my sincere apologies to your wife. I probably got her name wrong too.

There are two things I can say in mitigation. Firstly, my understanding of cars has always been much greater than my understanding of women. Secondly, that's a low res photo and it blurs some of the beauty. Can you post a high res photo and let me have a second guess?

Time now to shut up and post.
No 1 is a 1932 Renault
No 2 is a 1938 Dodge
No 3 is a 1955 Chevy
No 4 is a 1967 MGB
No 5 is a 1978 Oldmsobile Cutlass
No 6 is a 2006 BMW325i Coupe

As always, these are my best guess. Comments and corrections are always welcome

All old cars inevitably succumb to rust and neglect. This thread is no different. There is insufficient interest and the thread is prey to rust and decay. I'll post what I have and then we'll all focus on some new topic. Boats and planes are well covered already. Maybe there are enough pix out there to sustain a small thread on surfing.

Anyway, here are the pix for today.

1933 Buick
1956 Cadillac
1958 Vauxhall Velox
1985 Datsun Station Wagon
1982 Skoda

Two from the 1960īs:

The Datsun is actually an Oldsmobile, and the CAMARO is really a Firebird.
I'm enjoying seeing the old cars with pretty girls. Thanks for sharing!
