Nacelled Wright R-3350. Some beauties never loose there looks, and no there's no blood in her lines, shame....
seen yesterday as we meandered through a Surrey Mall parking lot eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Ross had a plain, I had an iced raspberry filled, delicious.

Now, for you motorheads out there, here is the "nitty gritty" on this massive engine! Remember, the Duesenberg brothers were engine builders before they became car builders, and many of the engines they built were race motors. So, they knew what they were doing when it came to building motors! Not all motors need to be photographed, but this one screams out to be! Like the car, it is a true work of art!
The 1930 Duesenberg Model J engine is a massive straight-eight engine featuring a 420 cubic-inch displacement, twin overhead camshafts, and 265 horsepower.
Engine Design & Layout Configuration: Inline 8-cylinder (straight-8), front-engine, rear-wheel drive.
Displacement: 420 cu in (6,883 cc / 6.9 L). Bore and Stroke: 3.8 in × 4.7 in (95 mm × 119 mm). Block Material: Cast-iron block and head.
Main Bearings: 5 main bearings.
Performance & Power Horsepower: 265 bhp @ 4,200 rpm.'
Torque: 374 lb-ft (507 Nm) @ 2,000 rpm.
Compression Ratio: 5.20:1.
Top Speed: Approximately 116 mph (standard model).Valvetrain
FuelValvetrain: Dual overhead cams (DOHC) with 32 valves total (4 valves per cylinder).

Original 1930 Costs
Chassis Only: $8,500 for the raw engineering, straight-eight engine, and frame straight from the factory.
Custom Coachwork: $4,500 to $10,500 extra for bespoke bodies built by elite designers like Murphy, LeBaron, or Derham.
Let me start by saying all Alvis cars were custom bodied. Alvis would only supply the rolling chassis complete with engine and drivetrain along with other chassis components. This lovely blue Alvis Three Litre Series III drophead coupé, also known as TE 21, is an automobile produced by English manufacturer Alvis between 1963 and 1966 with a body built by Mulliner Park Ward.
The 1963 Alvis TE21, powered by a 2993 cc overhead valve inline 6 cylinder engine, produced 130 bhp (97 kW) at 4000 rpm with 172 ft-lbs torque. This provided the car with a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h). The TE21 also featured a 12.0-second 0-60 mph time.

Power is the name of the game.
In order to create the much needed power you have to have the gigantic wind turbine to twist and torque it's way towards generating energy.

A bit late since he uploaded it, but stylish picture taken by Torque_gtb. Awesome work on this picture Torque! Yet another picture founded by torque, can't seem to get enough of them!
My macro Monday entry *stars* Torque bit set I tried to get more in focus by using f22 and a high ISO worked out ok 👍
A Honda NSX drove past, and apparently only 148 of them were ever brought into the UK.

The inspiration here is 'Torque' by Kristin Hersh. Download, free & legal, in high quality here. Lyrics here. I only discovered her music some three years ago, and now listen to it all the time. Especially since I found out about her latest album.
Just now I found this page with the history of the song. Anyway -- the photo is about this bit here where a human being's very nature is explored and questioned.

Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.

Special:
- The '59 Cadillac had its high tailfins, while Chevrolet introduced its “Slimline Design” with "Spread Wing-look", designed by Clare MacKichan’s Design Team: wings that ran faint sloping upward from the point above the license plate holder with the taillights like almonds parallel below: the "cat's eyes".
- From 1958 the Impala became their top-of-the-line model, followed by the middle-range Bel Air.
- The Series 1600 was available as this 4-door Sedan, as 1611 2-door Sedan (281,924 units built), as 1635 5-door Station Wagon / 6 passengers (20,760 units built) and as 1645 5-door Station Wagon / 9 passengers (188,623 units built).
- This fourth generation Bel Air (1959-1960) was assembled in Arlington, Texas (USA), in South Gate (California), in Baltimore (Maryland) and in Oshawa, Ontario (Canada).
