    ...and, surreptitiously ( a great word, that) conceals the label on the bottle of, uh, soda pop.

    I saw one with covered lights (and triple wipers) last week and it is so much better. BTW, I love the 61 Impala you have there too...:)

    This looks like a 6 cyl series 1 as it has the smaller bonnet opening and the turn signal above the bumper but it has flared arches and a wider track like the series 3

    That Impala has been in the body shop for longer than my E. It belong to the owners

    It has the Series 1 4,2 l 6 cyl but as you say, a wider track than original.

    Since the conversation has gone to E type, here is the new ride of a friend who met me for lunch recently and showed up driving this beauty. Pascal, you know this owner from the HOF.

    I recall reading that Enzo said the XKE was the most beautiful car in the world, but what would he know... ;)

    At the risk of a raising eyebrows by our predominantly male readership... E-type!

    My boats were always Marilyn in the past, here is the rear end of Marilyn 3, this is how it should look in 1968...

    But among cars, I like both ends of my Brera...

    Independent rear suspension with INBOARD DICSC brakes back in 1961? Nobody can beat that!

    How many cars ever had inboard disk brakes??

    Heck, until recently most "sports" (LOL) cars on this side of the pond still had solid rear axles and drum brakes !!!

    Hmmm... And these haunches / hips!!! Far more curvy than Marylin
