Shiny objects...the finale...

...and a new peak of randomness to the photos.

Something that always catches my eye is a classic hot rod: '32 Ford, "flathead" V8 engine with proper old-time speed equipment, Ford steel wheels with proper hubcaps, and all the trimmings...



I'm always drawn to early Porsches, too. I wish this mid-50s 356 Cabriolet's owner had put the top down, though...



The most beautiful Lamborghini ever, the wonderful Miura. The V12 engine is set crossways behind the passengers; it is one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever driven...



Finally, here's a lousy photo of a '55 Mercedes-Benz 300S Cabriolet, about as elegant a design as was produced in those days...



Fortunately, I just happen to have a similar 300S here, and was able to make a clearer photo at home...



No more cars. For a while.

  6. Cheri -- It's certainly the least expensive of all the cars in this post!
