Looks like the same design elements of a little jet.

Years ago I owned a 1965 356C coupe for awhile. It was grey with green vinyl interior. I imagine that if I did a hit of acid, my 356 might begin to look like that one.

Wonder why the current pictures show left hand drive while the historical pictures show right hand drive?

Amos and Andy had a episode where they acquire a Mercedes-Benz with the steering wheel on the right. Someone asks why that is. The reply was , “They Benz it over””. 🙄

Sorry, mein freunde. The Berlin-Rome race has been called off because, well... We’ve decided to invade Poland.

Next year? Berlin-Moscow, via Warsaw!

I thought the oldest Porsche was from c. 1898?

Guys like Zora Duntov, Harley Earl & Co sure brought the industry along nicely.

I’ve got a 2010 f150 that is as solid as anything I’ve driven in the past 35 years.
