I do like a nice texture :-)
This is a detail of an artwork by Richard Serra - "Torqued Ellipses" - at Dia:Beacon art museum in Beacon, New York.

I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.

Special:
* Brazilian import
- While visiting the VW factory in 1947, Dutch car importer Ben Pon came up wîth the idea for the Bus (drawn on the back of his cigar box ☺) as we know it today.
- Officially launched on November 12, 1949, the Transporter line did not go on sale to the general public until March 1950. The Typ 2 T1a were among the first “forward control” vans in which the driver was placed above the front roadwheels.
- At first the T1a was only produced in the Wolfsburg plant, but from March 8, 1956 in a new plant in Hanover (VW-Werk Hannover).
- Versions created until 1955 were known as the T1a. These versions are often called the 'Barndoor' versions due to their large rear engine cover.
- The T1b were produced from 1955 through 1963. These versions had a smaller engine cover and smaller, 15-inch wheels.
- The T1c was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1967. The Panel Van production stopped in 1966. These versions had a wider rear door.
- German production stopped after the 1967 model year; however, the T1 still was made in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil until 1975.
- The varieties were huge: Panel Van, Transporter, Camper, Delivery Van, Kombi, Microbus, Pick-Up, Ambulance, Ladder Truck, Police Vans, Buses etc.
- The T1 was very popular in the USA (Hippie Bus☺): by 1964 it was accounting for over 63% of all import vehicle sales.

Special:
- The name comes from the mythical beast the "Wyvern" (a winged creature with a dragon's head, a reptilian body, two legs [sometimes none] and a barbed tail) and may be due to a misidentification of the heraldic Griffin on the Vauxhall badge.
- The body was designed by David Jones and his Vauxhalls Design Department and was based in the Chevrolet Fleetline with an “alligator” bonnet.
- The L Series Wyvern along with the Velox were Vauxhall's first new models after WWII, especially produced for export to help the British economy, built in Luton - UK, but also assembled in Australia (General Motors-Holden’s LTD) as LBX Wyvern (CKD kits). A 2-door "Caleche" Tourer was only assembled in Australia.
- The body is identical with the Velox LIP (1948-1951: 76,919 units built), but the Velox has a 2275cc straight-6 engine.
- The Wyvern, with pushbutton doors and “self parking” screen wipers, is known as a very slow car and that also applies to the Velox.

Special:
* model 1965 thanks to R36 Coach :-)
- In 1962, Willys-Overland Motors introduced the Jeep Wagoneer, designed by industrial designer Brooks Stevens and based on the SJ, as a 1963 model to replace the 1940s-style Jeep Station Wagons.
- It was originally available in 2- and 4-door body styles, with the 2-door Wagon available as a "Panel Delivery" model with windowless sides behind the doors and double "barn doors" in the rear instead of the usual tailgate and roll-down rear window.
- This "Sport Utility Vehicle" (SUV) for decades before the term was coined, the Wagoneer saw only minor mechanical changes during its 28-year plus production run.
- In 1984 the name changed into Grand Wagoneer.
- The Wagoneer was assembled in Toledo Complex, Toledo, Ohio, Tehran, Iran (Pars Khodro), Cairo, Egypt (AEV)and in Córdoba Province, Argentina (Industrias Kaiser Argentina)

Manufacturer: VOLVO Personvagnar AB, Göteborg - Sweden
Type: PV 444 (03) H
Engine: 1414cc straight-4
Power: 51 bhp / 5.100 rpm
Speed: 120 km/h
Production time: 1954 – 1955/1957
Production outlet: 29,046 (official H's 1954-1955)
Production outlet: 196,004 (all 444's, 1944-1958)
Curb weight: 960 kg
Special:
- "We want to build a small car, but not a soapbox," said Assar Gabrielsson, a Swedish industrialist and co-founder of Volvo, and designer Helmer Petterson went to work.
- The result was the PV 444.
- The exterior design of the PV 444 was very influenced by American cars like Pontiac and Ford.
- PV stands for "PersonVagn", the first "4" for 4 seats and the last "44" for the year 1944.
- Only after WWII, in 1947, production got really going.
- It has a three-speed manual gearbox, a Zenith carburettor (since 1954: until than they used a Carter carb.), a 6-Volts electric system, a 35 liter fuel tank, drum brakes all around and rear wheel drive.
- The 444s were available with 5 types of transmissions: M3, H3, H4, H5 and H6 (a 3-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on 2nd and 3rd gears).
- The independent front suspension has coil springs, telescopic dampers, wishbones and anti-rollbar, while the rear has a live axle, coil springs, telescopic dampers, torque arms and Panhard rod.
- The special version (S) has stainless steel hubcaps and trims strips on the wings, cigarette lighter, grab handles, vinyl and fabric upholstery and two sun visors.
- The H was the first 444 with the rear window made from one piece.
- The split-windows of the 444 has a important safety improvement: the screens are laminated.
- According to the year of construction, this car must be a PV 444 K (1955-1957, 33,917 built), with the new B14A engine (twin SU H2 carbs and 70 bhp / 5.000 rpm) and new grille (instead of the usual transverse ribs like this vehicle). BUT: the boundary between the H-model and the K-model is not necessary exact to specify. Many unsold H models were sold untill 1957, in addition to the model K ☺!
- So this model 03 H has the “old” B4B engine, no new grille and still the “old” taillights.
- VOLVO made, over other car manufacturers, much more use of subcontractors.
