Vintage shots from days gone by!

Corvette Rondine

 

WOW, what a great shot! Hard to believe this ever existed.

 

We have a detailed post up on The Old Motor today showing the Ford Trimotor along with the new 1936 Lincoln Zephyr and a Douglas DC-3, both from The Henry Ford Museum.

We also found an incredible film of a Ford Trimotor that Harold Johnson flew at an air show, where he looped, spun and snap rolled a Ford Trimotor during the 1930′s. Johnson reportedly performed 17 consecutive loops during one demonstration. See both on theoldmotor.com

 

I have to wonder about concept cars designs.Some are so good,and most look like they where done while on LSD.What reason would you make something that was so far out there,that it had no chance of ever being made,And why don't we see them today?
