I remember seeing The Munsters show in black and white, and the episode where Lilly Munster goes to a dealership and asks for two old jalopies to be put together and they came up with The Munster Koach. Another great creation by George Barris.  :)

Never heard of this car.  It’s British: a 1960 Berkeley T60

I've never heard of it either.  It's neat.  Reminds me of a Morgan 3-wheeler, except without the motor out front.   :)

I apologize in advance if I post duplicate pictures in any of the picture threads I deal in.  My MO in getting pictures of one girl is to rip her Instagram.  That ends up with me having up to 2000 pics of her.  I've tried almost half a dozen duplicate finder programs, and none of them find all of the duplicates I inevitably end up with.

The Morgan is one of those British vehicles that found a niche and has been able to survive a Great Depression, World War 2 and multiple competitors because it is not a mass market car but a singular one. I like the shark mouth paint job of this particular car.  :)

Morgans have been a British favorite of mine for years.  Thanks for the pic!

Since we were on the subject of quirky British cars, it reminded me of No. 6’s Lotus 7, KAR 120C.  A 1966 model, I believe.

British cars of that era were known to be quirky and not very reliable. Back in 1972 through 1975, I worked at gas station and I remember a customer that owned a 1962 Jaguar, which is one of the best looking cars ever, that after multiple repairs and terrible engine reliability problems, decide to swap the original manufacture engine and swapped it with a small block Chevrolet V-8 engine, which were for the time reliable and economical, and he drove and he was happy with it. He placed a 283 cubic inch engine which fit in the engine bay and didn't need too much modification.

A customized 1958 Corvette by George Barris. You can tell by its look that it was heavily influenced by the jet age of the 1950's and 1960's. It looks like a U.S Air Force F-100 Super Sabre interceptor, an aircraft designed for Mach 2 speed to intercept Soviet heavy bombers encroaching on the North American Defense area of operations.

For those of you old enough to remember, this is the Mark 5 from the Japanese TV cartoon show "Speed Racer" from the 1960's and this customized 1977 Corvette was made by George Barris for the 2008 live action movie, "Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, GOOOOO!" :)

One of the most unique limos I've ever seen.  I'd love to take a ride in it.   :)

Yeah, I just looked back and I saw that post and even my response to it and I guess because salem put me in purgatory for two months, I simply forgot a lot of stuff.  :P

A car that in my opinion is one of the best-looking cars ever, a 1962 Jaguar E-Type convertible. I wish I could own one.  :)

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS with a LS6 Corvette 454 Cubic inch big block chevy engine rated at 450 horsepower from the factory. Very rare convertible version. A true Muscle Car.  :)
