1972 Ford Mustang Convertible in Bad Honnef, Germany.

This '64 Corvair convertible has been parked in this spot for quite awhile, every time I drive by it's still there. A little history on the Corvair: The Chevrolet Corvair is a compact car manufactured by Chevrolet for model years 1960–1969 across two generations. As the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine, the Corvair was manufactured and marketed in two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan, four-door station wagon, passenger van, commercial van, and pickup truck body styles in its first generation (1960-1964) as well as two-door coupe, convertible and four-door sedan in its second generation (1965-1969).
La fiebre de las aletas fue iniciada por Cadillac asà que era lógico que fueran ellos los que la llevaran a la cumbre. El año 1959 marca el lÃmite del crecimiento de las aletas. En menos de una década ya habrÃan desaparecido por completo.
Chevrolet debuted its 265 cu in (4.34 L) small-block, 195 hp (145 kW) V8 in 1955 and the engine found its way into the Corvette. At first 1955 V8 Corvettes continued with the mandatory-option Powerglide automatic transmission (as did the few 6-cylinder models built), but a new three-speed manual transmission came along later in the year for V8 models only. Exterior color choices were expanded to at least five, combined with at least four interior colors. Even soft-tops came in three colors and different materials. Despite all this, only 700 1955 Corvettes were built, making it second only to 1953 in scarcity.

At the last minute, we learned that the 2017 Hemmings Motor News' Great Race would be passing through town on the way from Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan to the finish line in Traverse City, so we hustled down to the road to see if we could catch some of the cars as they passed by even though we really didn't know anything about the Great Race. The cars came through interspersed with the normal traffic and we were late enough that we only caught a few of them and the resulting photos weren't great. I happened to be glad to capture this old LaSalle as my father bought a used one for the family car when I was a kid and I hadn't really seen many since then. This year's race was from Florida to Michigan following the Dixie Highway.
From the net:
"About The Great Race First run in 1983, the Great Race was conceived as a time/distance/endurance rally initially limited to prewar vehicles. It has since followed the expansion of the hobby and is now open to all 1972 and older collectible cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The nine-day race has also evolved to include five divisions: Grand Champion, Expert, Sportsman, Rookie, and X-Cup. Here's how they are organized:
A note on scoring: With several undisclosed checkpoints along each leg, Great Race organizers know in advance how long it should take each entry to get from point A to point B every day. A perfect score for each leg would therefore be 0.00 seconds, also referred to as an Ace. To enable older vehicles to be more competitive with the mechanically improved vehicles of newer years, an age factor is calculated into each team's daily score. The older the vehicle, the greater the advantage. The 2014 Great Race marked the first and only time a postwar car has won this storied event."
The Series 62 range started in 1940. Spread over 24 years seven generations were made.
This one is a 1961 restyled example of the sixth generation, and was designed by Bill Mitchell.
The 1962 Series 62 was slightly different.

De Bentley Continental Supersports is de snelste en krachtigste Bentley ooit. De auto werd voor het eerst getoond op de Autosalon van Genève in Zwitserland, in maart 2009. De auto is in Nederland verkrijgbaar voor €330.534,-. De massa van de auto is 110 kg kleiner dan die van de Continental GT Speed.
Het opvallende aan deze auto is dat de auto op bio-ethanol rijdt, een brandstof die vrij weinig gebruikt wordt. Dat de auto op bio-brandstof rijdt, betekent niet direct dat de auto zuinig is. Het gemiddeld verbruik is 16,3 liter per 100 km en de gemiddelde CO2-uitstoot bedraagt 388 gram per km.
Why build just one i8 if there is an option to build another one, but just make it convertible. So I did.
For those who didn't notice the first one - here's the album link: www.flickr.com/photos/the_rolic/albums/72157716803125113
And - what's best - it has instructions available now here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-57837/Rolic/bmw-i8/#details
As the title states - it features retractable roof (loosing the space for rear seats).
For those who saw my blue i8 - remember I used the rigid hose to shape the door window frame and door hinge at the same time. Obviously - I couldn't use the same technique here as there is no window frame from end-to-end. There's just a small triangle. But!!!! With the help of few bar pieces and droid arms I could achieve everything I thought was impossible.
So I hope you like this one as much as I do. Let me know :)
