This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
Almost a throwback to the 1930s in this sepia view of Acton Town station on the late morning of Tuesday 19th November 2019. Acton Town is an important interchange station between London Underground's District and Piccadilly lines as north of Acton Town is where the Piccadilly Line's Heathrow Airport and Uxbridge branches part company along with the station being situated on the District Line's Ealing Broadway branch. Up until 1959 Acton Town was also the interchange for the former District Line shuttle service to just one stop down the line at South Acton with this shuttle service being operated by a single-car train of G23 stock, with this shuttle service being locally referred to as 'The Ginny'. Interestingly the former platform for the South Acton shuttle service is still there but it is hidden away behind a series of advertising hoardings.
This week we are going back nine years to 2016, and to AV 295 on Westmoreland Street with a terminating service on route 79.
Route 79 started running between the city centre and Ballyfermot in 1949, with its western terminus initially on Kylemore Road. In 1985 it was extended to Cherry Orchard Avenue, and around 1994 its terminus became Spiddal Park. The route ceased to operate in 2022 when it was partially replaced by route 60 under Bus Connects.
AV 295 was new to Dublin Bus in 2003. It was withdrawn in 2017, and sold on to another operator.
On the left can be seen the tram tracks being laid as part of the Luas Cross-City. This opened in late-2017, and this location became the Westmoreland tram stop.

this is me an my best friend from 4th grade all through school standing in front of my dad's old geo tracker.
there was a time right after 8th grade our phone was cut off at home and my dad for some reason didn't have a phone at his place a few blocks away either. BUT he had a car phone. haha! me and willie would sit in the garage listen to wu tang and the chronic and call up our girlfriends.
i think it said "low emotions" on the window. My older adopted brother Tony did all the work. OH, my pops had a little night club in the city if your wondering why he would have a car like this. you could hear the bass from the system about 4 blocks away. BOOM!
This week we are going back thirty-eight years to 1986 and to KC 89 at Bray Staton. The bus is dressed for route 85.
CIE started running route 85 between Bray and Enniskerry in 1945. From around 1976 to around 1986, the route also served Oldcourt in Bray, and then from around 1986 it served Ballywaltrim. In December 1995 the route became route 185, with minibuses taking over. In 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of route 185.
KC 89 was new to CIE in 1984. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around the year 2000.
In April 2024, work started on a new bus interchange at the front of Bray Daly Station.

My son has been designing his own desktop computers the last few years for gaming purposes. When he mentioned his latest updates my mind flash backed to 1982 and my first computer, a Commodore 64. I am embarrassed to admit that I still own it.
This is what my desk would have looked like back in 1982 as a student at American University. At the time I was in American's journalism program and I was working for a Republican Senator from South Dakota.
If you look closely enough you will see the Commodore 64 black and white monitor, keyboard and floppy drive. Also in the picture is a .20 cent FDR stamp (the postage rate back then), my American University ID (I have blocked out my student ID number which back then was my social security number), a Marvin Gaye 45 which I almost wore out listening to, and the first USA Today newspaper ever (September 15, 1982). At the time that paper made a huge splash because of its colorful format and national coverage. The newspaper machines were even designed to look like television sets, at least that is what the A U journalism professors claimed.
I had the privilege to meet Ronald Reagan at a 1982 fundraiser and I received the autographed photo a few days later.
My current iPhone is thrown into the photo to add a little perspective. :-)
Born in 1905, in Upstate New York, Marion Sheret DeGrazia was a fine artist in her own right. Having attended State Teachers College in Buffalo New York, she also studied sculpture and modeling at Columbia University. Marion was instrumental in the success of the gallery by managing the studio and allowing DeGrazia to travel and show his art, knowing that the gallery was always in good hands under her watchful eye. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Marion's ceramic and driftwood sculptures as well as mosaic furniture will be on display in our new exhibit “Modernist Ceramics of Ted and Marion DeGrazia”! An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, September 2nd, 2016, at the Gallery in the Sun, where the exhibit will remain on display through January 25th, 2017.
