Lancia Fulvia Zagato. Pretty cool, even if it looks like it had a bit of a hit in the front.

And I missed that Merkur pic earlier—cool!

Driving home yesterday a set of tail lights caught my attention. I had not seen ones like that before....



Then pulled in front of it and then recognized the grill....



Have not seen one of them in a LONG time. I really like the way they look.

On the other hand.....
Parked next to one of these at work the other day....



Could not help but remind me of this episode of The Twilight Zone... The Eye of the Beholder....



Not the most attractive nose - not at all...
Almost like they designed the car back to front and then took a long lunch and forgot to finish.

There were a few interesting cars/trucks at the hotel I was staying at last week for a conference.

Bugatti convertible and a 6 wheel G-wagon are in this photo. There was also a Rhino that was under the awening in the upper right.

Nope. Was in the US. Not all that far from you.

That lambo is a real beauty ... that pic of the Rolls is kinda funny to me at least to hear it called a vintage Rolls and you are absolutely correct it is but growing up my dad had a 53 Rolls and the snob factor never considered the newer Rolls with the dual headlights to be a Real Rolls. Yes totally ridiculous but heck this was the 70’s so what did we know

Notable car sighting thread

This Michigan registered, Canadian market Pontiac G3 is here on a dubious visa.



Edit: Wait, no! Research suggests this was actually a US car, sold in 2009 in the couple of months before GM went bankrupt and Pontiac was killed.

Huh.
