Car Porn

I have been looking at that picture wonder how they built that El Camino, the wheels kinda look like an S-10 so maybe they stretched an S-10 frame or they simply could have stretched the original car.

 

On a similar one they started with a '65 wagon and grafted the El Camino back end onto it, then used the front of the rear wagon doors and the rear of the El Camino doors.

 

Test driving this gorgeous '65 Ford F100 tomorrow. Really like it but would mean thinning the herd. Has a Mustang GT engine, power brakes and power steering. Tough decision.

 

Ah... the good ole days. This was one of my first memories of motorsport.

 

For those of you who are on Twitter, there's a cool account to follow that posts some good car porn.

They tweet a lot of old Formula 1 pics, but they also put out some other great stuff once in a while.

 

Toyota AA from the 1930s-40s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AA

I took these at the Toyota Museum in Nagoya Japan.



And how they made the bodies back in the day before stamping dies were made:

 

What year?

 

1966 if I am not mistaken.

My dad had a '64 Polara!

 

One of my high school classmates drove a 66 Sport Fury. Copper with a black vinyl top. Sweet car.

 

Nice, I bet that was sweet!

 

Just a 4-door sedan; He doesn't even remember what engine it had; He bought it for like $400 when he was in college in the early 1980s.

 

These are two different 1962 Bel Air Bubble tops. The top one has standard Bel Air trim, the bottom one has 62 Impala trim with extra tail lights, making it a Bel Air / Impala hybrid.

 

Really like the first one!
