For making a dignified arrival, what could be better than this late-1950s Bentley, replete with unique custom coachwork?
And what collection could be considered complete without what the Brits used to call a "bubble car?" A BMW Isetta "300" seems ideal...
In fact, a pair of these tiny two-cylinder runabouts showed up today. I've always found the rear view of same somewhat amusing...
But if I had to settle for a single set of wheels, this 1966 Ferrari 275 might well be the one. I was smitten with the 275 coupe when I first saw one back in the day, and still am...
Still, it would be tough to resist a 1955 Jaguar D-Type, a phenomenally successful racing car in its era. This one belongs to a friend, who happily (and without problems) drives it on the street when the spirit moves him...
Wonderful cars like these tend to render the modern machines on display invisible, at least for me. Watching the crowds who show up each Saturday throng around the classics, I'm guessing I'm not alone in feeling that way.
I may have to go back next Saturday, just to see what newcomers appear.

The old classic cars would definitely be my preference, too. Unfortunately I seldom see any in Dallas...only rarely at very select car shows. I'll just have to live vicariously through your photos and tales of those golden autos.

Scott -- One day, you and Kelly will get out here, and I'll give you the grand tour. All of this is more fun when shared, you know.
I agree about that Ferrari. That is hard to top.
Road candy! Those little bubble cars look like toys.
I almost never see anything except older American cars on the roads here, and no one around here seems to display the ones they have except for rare "car shows" at a local mall.
Cars with character!
