Are you the photographer? The pic is a little grainy and I can't make out the logo in the steering wheel. I know the pebble texture of the bumper and taillights are the same as on my Vue. I thought the Bravada tailights were more squared off. I could very well be wrong. I know the girl is nicely built either way!

I must correct an injustice. To have such a collection of classic cars and not have the Corvette properly represented is a travesty. I intend to correct this immediately.
(1956 - 1961)

I somewhat am. I take pictures of cars for dealerships to put on their websites, so I've come across a lot of the GMT-360 SUVs that are the Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender, Saab 9-7x and Oldsmobile Bravada. My first thought was the Rainier, but it doesn't have amber signals in the taillights. The Bravada does have the amber If you do an image search for the Bravada, you'll see it. Note the reflector shape and location in the bumper too.

And of course Abi

I just fixed cars for about 20 years. Never paid that much attention to the sheetmetal.

Here's my best car/girl picture. The car is a 1955 Thunderbird, the girl is Carla of unknown vintage. I'd have done almost anything to get her top off!

A few more and a two more of me and my Bravada. It was a cheep camera.

Wow, Guys, thank you.

I'm almost out of stock (the last of my photos are posted below) and I was afraid this thread would die.

Just love this sudden rush of sheet metal and beauty. Special thanks for the straight axle Corvettes, which are outstanding. But I need help identifying them. Single headlamp = 1956 and 1957. Double headlamp = 58, 59, 60 &61?

And I have a special yearning for well made hot-rods. Can we sneak them into this thread also? After all, they started life as a classic car.

Here's what I think I posted today:

63 E type
2006 Opel Corsa (Not a classic, but check out the interior
Hotrod, from a 52 Ford, I think
78 Oldsmobile
78 Oldsmobile Any Comments from Hardwood on this?

As always, Please comment, please correct, please name the unidentified cars and please post more.

Thanks for the correction, Disu. I think that Opel Kapitan's from that era were quite rare outside Germany. I rode in one as a boy a long time ago and I think they share DNA with 6 cylinder Holdens and Vauxhalls.

But the Cars in this thread are merely the frames that contain the art and beauty of their passengers. Does anyone have any more to contribute?
