My brother's car. I think it is from 1973 (M reg). I was driven to my wedding in this in 74. Perfect wedding car!
(Niece tells me it is a Ventura, which explains the year question)
Taken with a Zenit E in apprx. Jun 1974, Royston, Hertfordshire, England.
This photo features a beautiful 1973 Vauxhall Ventura 3.3-litre version, one of the more powerful and luxurious variants of the Ventura lineup. The car's sharp, boxy design was emblematic of the period, with its chrome grille and detailing adding a premium touch to its practical, mid-sized sedan shape.
The Ventura 3.3 was equipped with a 3.3-litre inline-six engine, borrowed from the larger Vauxhall Cresta, offering impressive performance for a car in this class. This made it a solid competitor to the Ford Granada and other executive cars of the era.
The black finish with a matching vinyl roof, as seen here, was a popular choice among buyers seeking a sophisticated yet understated appearance. Though based on the Victor FE, the Ventura was distinguished by its upscale interior, featuring wood-effect trim and improved comfort. Today, the 3.3-litre Ventura is a rare sight, cherished by classic car enthusiasts for its blend of style, luxury, and performance.
The upscale 900 North Michigan was developed by Urban Retail Properties and opened in 1988 with Bloomingdale's as its anchor store.
The design of 900 North Michigan corrected several design flaws in Water Tower Place including an easier-to-navigate layout and placing Bloomingdale's at the back of the mall to draw shoppers past the specialty stores.

I made another 3x scaled vintage Lego set from 1983, this one being 6692 Tractor Trailer. Features include a working tilting cab, working roof hinge, foldable trailer stand and opening rear doors. Challenges included creating the bigger tire, a 1x1 round brick, the various hinges, alongside a new minifig headwear.
This creation was submitted to Lego ideas 90 year celebration contest with the potential to be displayed in the Lego house. All parts for this MOC alongside any share "pieces" from my Festival of Mundanity entry were built within the timeframe of Lego's official contest.
Location: Berlin - 657km from home.
Black works really well on cars from Liechtenstein. It's nice to see an FL plate on an older upscale car as well. I'm not really digging the newer wheels and the crappy aftermarket lights.
Now an upscale restaurant, the Grand Concourse at Station Square used to be the main train/ railway station of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. In 1873, the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE) was first chartered and in 1877, construction began on a rail line connecting Pittsburgh to Youngstown. In 1879, the P&LE officially opened for commercial traffic and later became known as the Little Giant for the amount of tonnage that it moved.
By 1970, passenger traffic stopped using this station. Thankfully the building was not demolished but rather re-developed into a mixed-use hotel, office, retail, dining and entertainment complex in the 1990s.

Flying a gorgeous build, an upsized tribute to the designer of the Aerotech Warthog rocket kit who has left us to rest in space.
