Seen in a local pub car park. I hope the driver was in better shape when he left that his vehicle is
2/5.
A very unexpected find in Rome. I saw this from a distance and didn't initially think it could be a Skoda, assuming it was likely an old Fiat or Lancia. I've been spotting in this area several times and it always throws up interesting things, last time I visited there was an active market behind with a dozen or so pre 1985 vans and lorries parked up.
Best spot coming up later.
Louwman Museum
Den Haag, Netherlands.
[NL] Kenmerken van oude Mercedes-sedans zijn onmiddellijk te herkennen in deze Chinese Shanghai SH760. In de daklijn en in de portieren is het Mercedes-Benz ‘ponton’-model uit de jaren vijftig terug te vinden. Toch stamt deze Chinese sedan uit het midden van de jaren tachtig. Dit exemplaar is rechtstreeks van de fabriek in het Louwman Museum terechtgekomen. Hij heeft nul kilometer op de teller en het fabrieksplastic zit nog over de bekleding heen.
De Shanghai-autofabriek wordt opgericht in 1958 en sluit zijn deuren in 1991. Het type Shanghai SH760, met een eveneens van een oude Mercedes afgeleide zescilinder lijnmotor, wordt in China voornamelijk gebruikt als taxi of als dienstauto voor de minder belangrijke leidinggevende figuren van de Communistische Partij. Hierna gaat Shanghai Volkswagen-modellen assembleren, inclusief de populaire Shanghai Santana.

[EN] The characteristics of old Mercedes-Benz sedans are very evident in this Chinese Shanghai SH760. The lines of the roof and the doors were inspired by the Mercedes ‘Ponton’, a model of the 1950s. Yet this Chinese sedan was produced in the 1980s. The example on display came to the Louwman Museum straight from the factory in 1986 and is completely new. It shows zero mileage and the protective plastic still covers the upholstery.
The Shanghai automobile company was established in 1958 and lasted until 1991. The Shanghai SH760 model, fitted with a straight-six engine also derived from an old Mercedes, was used in China primarily as a taxi or limousine for minor officials of the Communist Party. After this model, Shanghai started assembling various Volkswagen models, including the popular Shanghai Santana.

An early, and pretty basic looking 33. I assume the paint was once a lot brighter than it now is, but that's what 30 years in a Mediterranean city does.
Note that the Alfa badge still proudly displays its colours though.
Too many people trying to get into the shot this morning :)

You have to see this event to understand it...this is a single car or motorcycle ( antique and vintage only ) at a time, drag up a long hill that is very hard on trannies and engines. I watched a guy blow his transmission this year where the casing literally blew off and gears came rolling out. 2017 was the 50th anniversary of this event and there are guys whose cars have 20+ stickers from previous years adoring their windshield...it's a kind of pride tradition to some....and probably one of the biggest never heard of before events that I've witnessed.
From Wikipedia:
Newport Antique Auto Hill Climb is an annual festival that takes place on the first Sunday of October in Newport, Indiana. The festival is run by the Lions CLub of Newport, and the town of Newport. Each year a Hill Climb Queen is crowned, as well as many winners of the timed race. The Newport Auto Antique Hill Climb is an international antique auto up hill timed event held each year in the small Indiana town of Newport, an event that attracts those crowds of one hundred thousand plus to that little town. Automobiles, trucks and motorcycles from the Steam, Brass, Vintage, Antique, and Classic Car eras, make timed runs from a standing start, up a steep hill to a finish line 1,800 feet away. It is an Indiana auto event second in size only to the annual Indianapolis Speed Motor Speedway event, the Indy 500.

Special:
- The Aronde Series (“9” 1951-1955, “90” 1955-1958 and “P60” 1958-Mai 22, 1963) was SIMCA's first original design (iso an restyled FIAT model) and SIMCA’s first unibody car (technical base still derived from the FIAT 1200). 1,425,329 units were built during this era.
- The base maodel was designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont while René Dumas made the final design.
- "Aronde" is an old French term for "Swallow". This term was used because the swallow also graced the Simca logo at that time.
- “P” stands for "personnaliser” / “customized” and “60” for the coming decade (meaning "ahead of its time”). Unofficially, the “P” also refers to "Pigozzi," (Henri Théodore Pigozzi - 1898-1964) the charismatic and iconic SIMCA boss.
- The Aronde P60 Ranch is a more luxurious estate version of the Aronde P60 Châtelaine 3-door estate/station wagon (1958-1960) with a new front end (resembling the 1957 Ford Thunderbird) from the new Aronde P60 but stiil with the back end of the previous generation of Aronde estates.
- The Simca Aronde P60 Series was available as this 2-door Estate, as 4-door Saloon, as 3-door Coupé, as 3-door Hardtop Coupé, as 3-door Convertible, as 3-door Van, as 3-door Pick-Up and as 5-door Estate (only in Australia).
- They were assembled at SIMCA’s plants in Nanterre (France) and in Poissy (France), the CKD kits were assembled by Chrysler Australia in Adelaide, while the 5-door Estate was developed by Chrysler Australia and (only) produced in Mile End (Australia).

The Studebaker Silver Hawk was an automobile produced between 1957 and 1959 by the StudebakerCorporation of South Bend, Indiana. The Hawk was also produced in 1956. There were four versions, pillared Flight Hawk and Power Hawk, and hardtop Sky Hawk and Golden Hawk. The Silver Hawk model was not produced in 1956, the first year of the Hawks. The same basic car was produced for two more years (1960 and 1961) as simply the Studebaker Hawk, since from 1959 onward no other Hawk models were being sold.
