Today is Independence Day. A day where commemorate a very brave group of men who stood up for self-evident truths and boldly cut the ties that bound them to antiquated notions of leadership and government. So today I’ll show photos of only American cars. However, no ’57 Chevy’s here – they’ll be unique in some way, and if you’re up for the task you’ll identify them in the comments.
heh..the first ain’t *quite* an Offy, but a 215/235 chevy “stove bolt’ six festooned with Offenhauser accesories, and important sideline that had Fred Offenhauser’s name attached.
nice adpatation of the late chevy HEI ignition: wonder if theyh made it like the original, where
Woops!
…where the
Woops!
…where the THE WHOLE DAMN dizzy turns as it advances?
🙂
I love that ’59 Dodge Royal Lancer. I’ve got a sweet shot of a yellow-and-gray one that I’d love to cruise in some day. If you’ve gotta have an over-done 1950’s American car, a Royal Lancer sure beats a Chevy!
Odd: the 810 Cord *ain’t* quite right:
-No Cord ever came with the Auburn “Flying Lady,” or those odd badges on the coffin nose and diff cover;
-810s also had the troublesome, but handsome, hand-cranked headlights in each fender, whereas this -thing- has the Auburn headlight buckets and lenses. A customized cord, mayhaps?
🙂
That Cord was shot at the ACD museum in Auburn, so I’d hope it is a “correct” car!
Nope…it’s been ‘tarted’ up, since the originals never had the flying Lady or the external headlights, or it may well be some rare, one-off from the factory but I’ve never seen an 810 with that ‘livery.’

Ummmm….I’ve studied my screen for 6 minutes, and see no “Edit this” button, and thanks for the not-so-subtle hint…LOL!!! I’ve often wished could edit after sending…..!
All I see is this, “Comment by vrooomie — July 6, 2010 @ 12:17 pm”
Ah, my bad. Must be a feature “behind the curtain” as the Great And Powerful Oz would say.
Nevermind!
Apparently only you ubergeeks get *all* the damn features… 🙂
