The 2007 Rodeo Drive annual Concours D'Elegance

The front of a 1970 Lamborghini Miura S – with the odd headlights

Very small bumpers on the 1957 Porsche Speedster

1968 AC Cobra 427 S/C COB 6132 – the last chassis, with its all-aluminum body, ever built by AC Cars, Thames Ditton, UK – and built for Paramount Pictures, for "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies" (released internationally as Monte Carlo or Bust). When you stuff a big Ford 427 engine in it, it goes real fast. As you see, going real fast requires that it gulp a lot of air – that's an impressive array of downdraft carburetors.  And then there's the other end. It's alimentary, in the automotive sense.

All new cars now look like Sucrets on wheels – a case in point is the front end of the 2003 Vector Autech WX-3R.
