Born to run



Sonny and Cher’s his and hers Ford Mustangs

Funky front ends on those 'Stangs. The cars have California manufacturer plates numbered 014. That's Ford's number to this day, so these were probably show cars or cars done specifically for them for promotional purposes.

Yes, you are right, they were custom made for them.





A happy Maurice Chevalier!

A grumpy Spencer Tracy:mmph:

When Superman was Clark Kent he drove a Nash Healey

When Superman was George Reeves, he drove an 1953 Alvis TA21 -100 Convertible that was one of only five built

While I don't have a photograph to share I have to call out something that I learned while watching the wedding festivities yesterday. Prince Charles is the owner of 1969 Aston Martin which has been converted to be more ecologically friendly. As reported in the Daily Mail...

"As part of cutting his carbon footprint, the prince has converted the 38-year-old classic car - a 21st birthday present from the Queen - to run on 100 per cent bioethanol fuel distilled from surplus British wine."

Think about that for a moment...the prince has a car that runs on wine! I'm not sure that it gets much cooler than that.

^^^ Charles Aston


"Prince William drove his new bride out of the gates at Buckingham Palace yesterday in his father’s precious Aston Martin. After being garaged at Buckingham Palace yesterday, Prince Harry snuck in to ‘decorate’ it with a JU5T WED number plate on the back, L plates, balloons and a ribbon.
A source joked: ‘He would have gone further but his father warned him not to get a scratch on it!’"

Car with a history: Charles and Diana in the Aston in 1984

This one looks like it could have come from a vintage ad.

Well yes!

"After walking down the aisle and being whisked away in a horse drawn carriage what better way to impress your bride than with a spin in a classic Aston Martin."

 

[Tomasso]

:eusa_clapWell done, Had!

 

[Mark D]

Dr. Cosby

I couldn't find a photo of the actuall car, but here is Carroll Shelby's Super Cobra, 427 sideoiler, C6 automatic and twin Paxton superchargers. He made two, one for himself and one for Dr. William Cosby, Bill to you. Bill said he drove it once and took it back. The second owner drove it off a cliff, it may have been suicide, no one knows for sure! Cosby put it into his famous album 200MPH, a very funny recording! Yes, he was a true motor head in the 60s!

Probably a little of both. It measures a little over 18-1/2 feet.
