Art & Inspiration Ever see a car that just takes your breath away?

These two. Totally different but both beautiful.


1962 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Speciale Berlinetta Coupe


Jack Carroll's 1932 5W

 

This one did it for me when I spotted it on the cover of Hot Rod. Lloyd Bakan's coupe hooked me when I was in Grade Two!!

yep ! Speechless & hungry at the same time . :d

 

I've never seen this car in the flesh, and I don't know anything about it (except that it's a Delage), but even the picture makes me tremble:

 

I don't want to sound cheesy, but two that do it for me are already mine. I worked a long time to get them, and I'm happy. Not to say there's no inspiration, that would be photo #3.

 

X3, and I'm a Cadillac guy. These two always have, always will.

 

T'aint zackly HAMB-friendly, but there's no denying the stunning looks

 

Enough on the Hirohata merc.Saw it a billion times in Rodders Journal alone.If i see it one more time this year i am gonna puke.

 

You better get your bucket ready.

 

My pants fit funny now. Any more pics of this beauty?? hopefully an updated one with the front clip in place as well? Awesome car.

 

..just yesterday I was flipping through some old mags and spotted this in the 1964 ICAS program


..the catchy name caught my eye




.

 

a picture is worth a 1000 words !

 

yeah the car thats ALWAYS done it for me was the Ron Weeks sedan........PERFECT

 

heres a BEAUTIFUL 53 caddy convertable that showed up at the local friday cruise the other day

 

Ed Roths Mega Cycle and Pete Chapouris purple 39 ragtop.

 

That picture was taken at Pebble Beach. Beautiful car!

 

Wow. Speechless.

 

hahaha. Thats funny. That car is like a mirror!
I am not in the 1940 club, I was the designated drinker and rode with a friend. I dont really remember anyone taking photos of this car, this photo is borrowed from another post on it here on the HAMB. It was a bit further along in the build when we saw it. but it does in fact take your breath away.

 

these do it for me...

 

I was able to see this (and some of Ralph's other cars) at the place it was stored a couple years ago. WOW.

 

This one here just about knocked my socks off.. Wish there were more pictures of it..

 

i did the body work on it... you can see more pics on this post.

Yeah...they don't come much better than that! Looking forward to seeing it completed!

 

My Bad, Sorry!!!




This is the one that I was thinking of, but after looking at my pics I can see the dramatic difference.

Thank you for posting that! That car so outclassed everything else at that show. The paint was the deepest blue I'd ever seen. (40 coats of candy blue lacquer)
It's style still holds up today 46 years later. I've got photos of how it was revised a couple years later, but they're really hard to look at. It got caught in the "let's gook it up" era of the late 60's

 

When I open my garage....or did your mean take my breath away in a good way?

Yes, actually, there was a big red '52 Caddy convert cruzin' in N. St. Paul on friday I lusted after......

 

This takes my breath away!

 

How lovely....
