photos I meant to post when I still knew where I'd found them

1938 Alfa 8C 2900B Le Mans
Those are incredibly good looking Jaguars
On of the most remarkable and well designed instrument gauge clusters I've ever seen
Fiat 1400b junior Ghia
Awesome use of a hoodscoop to make an ugly car better looking
Sorry, I don't know where these came from anymore, but I bet they were from websites that I've posted from in the past month

Worst named car - Dodge Attitude. It's an econo box, from Mexico. Hyundai Accent in Dodge badges. Yup, it was almost a Mexican Accent

It's a Hyundai Accent sold in Mexico. Well, I guess it might be proverbial to have a Mexican accent... but it isn't what comes to mind when you think of a Dodge attitude - like durable, powerful Hemi, or drag racing ready Super Sport cars of the 1960's.

I photographed the above in San Diego, and you can see the Mexico plate. Read about the Dodge - Hyundai business of badging here http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/22/badge-engineering-gone-bad-the-dodge-attitude/

Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA) number 1 Highway Patrol Service (why don't they do this anymore?)


This old Dodge Brothers truck was a patrol, the electric car below? I bet strictly publicity event use. What possible emergancy roadside service could it possibly be that your smart cell phone can't do better?
