56’ or 57’ ?

 

1957 Chevy Bel Air “Fuelie” 283 V8.
First year Chevy offered fuel injection.

 

Great color...

My brother makes the tail light rings for them. He's made them for over thirty years and sells about three hundred a year. A lot more than any Shelby's that were ever manufactured with these type lenses.

 

Reminded me of James Garner's Cutlass.

 

I prefer the "Cool Hand Luke" car wash scene

 

That Leaf

Speaking of Cool Hand Luke, this is how I wish I looked when I'm driving the Elan:

 

just a much fancier miata...

 

One of the classiest stars ever. Two quotes, comments, of his I'll never forget.

paraphrased:

When asked why he never cheated on his wife Joanne Woodward. He said, "why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home".

When he talked about racing cars, he said he played every sport growing up but never felt graceful until he got behind the wheel of a race car. I loved that comment because I felt the same way when I got on my first motorcycle.

 

I’m shakin the bush boss!

 

I'da put the roll cage outside the cab... but it wouldn't have looked as pretty.

And I'd also put the radiator between the frame rails so I could see out back.

 

thought it was hanging a wire?

 

interesting use of the rocket storage. but the real question is why not move the lighting elsewhere and keep the storage above the rear tires
