i used to not like the early second gens, now i absolutley love them.... cant say the same about the 74-81's yet... awesome shots though!

The '75-'81s are my second least favorite Camaros, the Iron Dukes are my first. I know the wrap-around rear-window was supposed to be there from the start of the second-generation F-Body program design-wise (issues with installment), but it totally killed the looks of the car, as far as I'm concerned, when GM started building them with it.

the wrap around window itself doesnt bother me too much, though i prefer the body without it.... but the 5mph nose and rear end changes killed it for me

Ooh-ooh! At first I thought it was a whole row of vintage Buicks, but not quite. In Cuba, no less!

As a German citizen I have no restrictions about entering/exiting Cuba, as long as I enter on my EU German passport. I have many pics of autos in Cuba. Mostly in color though.

I've never heard of this Mayra Veronica but she's hoooooooooooooot.

Like a Mack truck with no brakes!!!

(that's how I'd hit that)

Not quite black and white but a great pic.

I'm a big fan of B&W photography, great idea, 68.

(also, for some reason when I post pics via ImageShack they always reduce in size....anyone know what I'm doing wrong?....never used to have problems with this)

I think the board may be set up to reduce them automatically, everything I've hosted there since the switch to our new hosting service has done that.

I actually find it easier myself.

Attachments suck. Imageshack sucks. Photobucket, people. It's idiotproof.

Here's a 1911 Packard for your consideration:

Whoa, GM1, that's fantastically phallic there, bud. :lol:

Sixty8, I like that ol' Impala coupe, but it looks like it's running rich, check the black stuff on the bumper above the tailpipe, and the car was only a few years old then. Ah, the good old days with carbureted engines...

What I wouldn't give to have a '30 Duesenberg. I'd probably sleep on the garage floor with my arms around it.

Those DOHC, 32-valve Supercharged High-rev-tuners

of the early 1930s are pretty cool but I like to "get my

32-valves on" a different way... via Cadillac.

No, I'm NOT talking about the 4.6 liter DOHC Northstar

V8 powered modern Cadillacs. I'm talking about the

ultimate in wheeled transportation:

OHV 452 cu. in. V16 powered Cadillacs! :spin:

Smoooooth like a extra milky chocolate bar from Lindt.

1936 was a great year for cars... that art deco era is just... it's like heaven on earth.

The only thing cooler than the 1948-early 1970 era of hardtops is the 1929-1939 era

of pre-war instant classics. Planned obsolescence never looked so good. Every year

the cars were restyled/redesigned/recontoured/resculpted.... more aerodynamic,

more fluid, wider, and then in the 1940s they all kind of lost it.

The tall art-deco grilles of the mid 1930s is about Automotive pefection.

Someday I'll save a rotted shell from the junkyard, cut down a 1996 B-body frame

and make a mid 1930s hardtop using as many genuine pre-war parts

as possible to make the ULTIMATE custom rat-rod.

You know what that IS, doncha? ...the concept MC sedan.

I wish they had made the convertible from the factory ... some of the manuals/documentation reference how to raise and lower the convertible top.
