Wow Chuck must be one of those flyin car prototypes.

 

Nice to see a wing failure picture, Thanks MM.

 

Yeah, he's cool.

 

Looks like he is hiding a dead body in the back seat under the blanket too.......

Is that a Chrysler? 200?

Hell of an exhaust set up too!

Hi all.

Pretty commonly available adapters to go from wide 5 or the smaller 4 bolt pattern to either Chevy or Ford 5 lug.
Beetle based kit cars of that era had very few wheel options.

 

Heading into town last weekend to get some lumber and ran across a car show, it is getting to be that time of year. These are what caught my eye, had to stop and take a few shots.

 

Meant to post these earlier. Saw this at Columbus Cars & Coffee on Saturday. Some of the MoMers might recognize the guy who brought it out.

Beautiful car !!

 

Very nice car. I like the Cortina in the background too. I had a Cortina GT when I lived in Japan.

It is pretty sweet, also very fast!

 

I like the bumper sticker !!

 

Got a chance to put about 50 miles on this last Sunday..

1950 Morris Minor convertible

not very fast but lots of fun

 

Looks like it would be a great sunny day back road cruiser.

 

I believe it. Thanks for the pictures. IIRC mine was pretty quick. Not as fast as my Skyline GT, but plenty fast for Tokyo traffic. Some nice cars were very affordable back then. I could have had a new '71 Fairlady Z (240Z) for 1200 bucks. The dollar was worth 360 Yen back then.

 

Not my pics, my buddy B.A.D. took them. I have seen that Cortina at many events in Columbus, over the years. Driven behind him a few times and damn it can move. Always surprised by its speed.

My dad owned both a 240 and a 280, US market. I don't remember the 240, but have fond memories of the 280! Shame they are so damn expensive these days.

 

Gotta learn in something!

 

My ride for the morning today..

1963 Sunbeam Alpine. Beautiful classic sports car feel.
