Category: Car Photo Of The Day

The car has appeared here before, but always a good one to pull up for carspotters as it is a genuine post-war oddball. Almost qualifies as a “weird seen”…

This particular one has a Hudson flathead six motor and sounds wonderful at speed.

A nice view across the bow of three E-type Jaguars.

Taking this bonnet theme to the extreme, here’s a car we’ve seen before, from a different angle.

An easily recognizable icon, I bet even John Welch can identify it closer than “A silver-gray one with a black stripe and a “427” on it.”

Let’s all sit back and see.

By the way, as much as it is nice to have perfectly clean, washed, and waxed, reflective paint to shoot, I REALLY like the dusty rain splatter on this car’s hood. It gives it a gravitas of purpose. From those elongated impact marks you can almost hear the rumbling 427 propelling that plastic machine forward through the hostile elements of some lonely two-lane highway, hurtling towards the vanishing point on the horizon, where the sun awaits beyond the storm.

Feel free to guess at the car. To be honest I don’t care nor do I recall, as I just like the photo!

Taken at the 2006 Going To The Sun Rally. Let’s let some of the “lurkers” try and name all the cars.

The title sums it all up, doesn’t it?
