    1937 Bugatti. Great curves. Also great use of louvers & rivets.

    Steve, that's not a Delage. It's a Horch.

  11. Yeah, these cars so incredible, they're definitely worth mentioning more than once. :)

    Terry has done a fantastic job returning the Schenck Streamliner to life. I was lucky enough to sit in it, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

    This car had a profound affect on a certain 16 year old Aussie kid in 1998.

    Not the Loren or Willimanson car so I'm guessing this is car #3, the one that was hit by the train, correct?

  19. Yes this is the train wreck #3 car. I saw 2 of the 3 while I was Stateside this one at Pebble Beach & the one at the Mullins Museum.

    Swoopy has it's basis in the feminine form.

    Gotgas' '59 Stingray looks killer!

    This one below, agile, it is not, but it shouts straightline speed all over to me!
    I would like to see this car in a Bonneville scenery...

    Wow, that P1800 sure is something else, and I usually HATE big wheels. Don, dont know if you remember Bobs big black '68 Impala?? Believe it or not, at one point, it looked like the motor from that car was going to end up in a P1800 wagon!! Never happened, but thats another story for another time...
