Back around 1960, I had the pleasure and responsibility of borrowing one with a similar body style and was very impressed. A friend had a rather rough one that we took the engine out of and put it into a VW microbus. There are some stories there, but the fun didn't last very long as the rusty Porsche was worth more than the rusty old bus I had acquired for something like $50. Both were gone once the engine was returned to the Porsche.

I think these coupes had some of the best and cleanest lines of their era. What a work of ar and the coupes look so much better than the convertibles. I wouldn't change a thing (other than the owner).
I chose the side view as it best shows the lines of the car.

Doesn't take much to understand why Prince Phillip loved Aston Martins or why James Bond was also partial to them. What beautiful yet simple lines and style. The Brits sure have made some impressive looking cars over the years..

Powered by a 4.4 liter BMW V8 DOHC 32 valve engine capable of generating 325 bhp, the hand crafted aluminum body and chassis on a ash frame is listed as able to attain speeds of 170 mph which is a far cry from the Morgans I knew of. This car is one of only 60 imported. Historically, because of their ash frames, Morgans did not pass American safety standards and so were not imported in large numbers.
I was lucky to get this shot as when I arrived the hood was up and the car was surrounded by a big crowd. Fortunately, I stuck around long enough to get this cleaner shot with the hood down.
WOW!

The Brits certainly made some fine looking sports cars with great lines. During my youth, I didn't have the money for a Healey and so settled for a MG A which I think also has some great lines. It was a joy to drive and handled wonderfully, but about broke the bank with constantly needed repairs. If that hadn't been the case, I might still own it. I have to say the same thing about my Triumph TR6R motorcycle which constantly worried me because of the oil leaks.

Nissan Motors produced the 240Z from 1970 through 1973 under their Datsun brand. My friend owns a much new model marketed under the Nissan brand. He simply refers to it as a "z car". The car was very popular as they were reasonably priced, great looking and fun to drive. The biggest problem with them turned out to be rust, something my Datsun 510 also suffered from.

The GT was designed by Pininfarina, a famous Italian car design company.

We've been to this annual show several times and watched it grow. This year there were many more cars than previously as the show expanded from only the main street to add two more streets and a large empty field. I'm thinking there are too many people with way too much money. Where can one drive cars like these and not risk having them stolen or wrecked or get a ticket? You'd have to have a secure place to park or store them. I'd love to have the money they have to spend on maintenance and insurance.

Who knew that Fiat made cool little sports cars with Ferrari Formula 1 series engines? If I did, I sure don't remember it. Impressive stuff.
taken in the bone yard of a local foreign car shop in the Blue Ash suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
I've often seen the fenced in area next to the shop and wondered what was in there. I finally got to the other side of the gate and found nothing but very expensive or interesting cars that were need of some help. This one had some rust and a bit of damage on the other side, but visibly looked to be restorable. Others were in worse shape. Funny, I've never thought of expensive or exotic cars being in anything other than well taken care for and in prime condition. This visit showed me otherwise. How they got in these conditions and what will become of them interests me.

I don't think I've ever seen a car like this at a car show parking area, particularly a show advertised as "Rods & Customs - no muscle cars". Well, it was just outside the show area itself, so I guess it was alright. Sure was a nice car regardless.
As I was shooting it, the driver and passenger returned and got into it using the gull wing doors. Pretty cool.

Mid to late 80's Nissan Pulsar NX seen in town in 2015. Its still on the road in 2020.
The NX has a removable T-Top and the rear hatchback is removable, as well to enjoy summer breezes. The rear quarter windows are fixed and do not open or come off.
There was an interchangeable Sportbak option that gave the car the appearance of a station wagon and offered a little more interior room for hauling.

Looks like this is supposed to be a race car. If it was ever raced, it survived unscathed or was restored beautifully.
Taken in the "Bone Yard" of a foreign car repair shop in the Blue Ash suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio that seems to specialize in Alfa Romeos.
The "Bone Yard" is usually closed in when I go by. This day, the gate was open, so I asked if I could wander around and take some shots.
Some of the cars were wrecked, others were rough and still others looked fine, but they were pretty jammed in together which made getting around for a great shot pretty tough. This one was on the back row and looks fixable, but the other side has some rust and it looks somewhat rough otherwise. Who knows what it's future will be, but it would be a shame to simply junk it out. I don't know what Alfa's cost new, but my guess is that they are pretty pricy.
