Under the picture it said
"In 50 years will they line up to look at what you drove?"




They would if they had any idea what the were looking at. Unfortunately, a lot of the good stuff has been forgotten. Here are some I've had:

'35 Ford 5 window coupe with a built up '59A engine
'41 Ford Tudor with a bored/stroked 59L engine
'49 Triumph Ed Kretz 650 Trophy. This produced around 48 HP, really strong in its day.
'54 Hudson Super Wasp. This came with a very large inline 6 and was THE hot setup at Nascar until the V8 era started.
'52 Plymouth club coupe with a Hemi and B/W overdrive
'70 Newport sleeper. This was a plain jane 4 door with a 383HP (335 HP), 4 speed manual OD and no power eating options. It would go 50 in first, 100 in second, and hid the needle past the end of the speedometer at half throttle in third.
'71 Jensen Interceptor. This was one of 85 MK III's that came with the 330 HP 383 before they had to change over to the desmogified 280 HP 440. These were great cars but little known, almost as unknown as the Bristol Fighter, one of the greatest cars made today.
'05 Hemi Charger. This was an early one before it was crippled with that 8 cylinder/4 cylinder economy thing.
'76 XLCH. This was built to the limit of street riding, very fast for its day.
'58 TR3B with a bigger bore than the TR4. That one could redline in 4th gear with throttle to go.
