Another interesting 70's Derby car...

Blurry pic, but cool Derby car paint scheme....70's theme for today....

The side of this derby car reminds me of the side of a freight train....I see art everywhere I look.

Old Plymouth race car in a junkyard...

Imperial before conversion into a derby car....too bad many of these cars are not financially worth saving.

I didnt really have a choice to use a modern Camaro. I didnt want to either but I wanted to do a 2024 version of Simon and Simon. 

I know I know...  I could have cheated...

 

The 2017 ZL1 would be the nicest of ALL mdern Camaros from the 5th and 6th gens.  But I wanted to give the Camaro one last goodbye so I used it to coincide with a modern take of how a current Simon and Simon show would feature.

@oldshurst442 Thank you for the laugh, I needed it today. Much appreciated the post you did.

I think I'm dreaming ... this vehicle would be the oldest of my handful of favorite "blast from the past" cars.

A Cutlass Salon coupe in perfect condition, the first year I liked the colonnade Cutlass (and it's last year, of 3, with round headlamps in the colonnade), those huge bucket seats, and, oddly, A/C is there, but with manual windows.  It featured the new but not as popular 260 (4.3L) V8.  It also featured the light enamel blue they didn't repeat.  If the exhaust system is tight, this car will be whisper quiet.

1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon (Numbers Matching Drivetrain) for sale: photos, technical specifications, description

See anything odd?  Come on.  Quick.

It has Buick rally wheels instead of Oldsmobile rally wheels.
