I wish I knew who the girl is!

That looks like a 1973 Buick Riviera that somebody slapped some fake Tucker Torpedo body work. My $0.02.

This is what the rear of the 1973 Buick riviera looked like which made me think that that Tucker Torpedo that Goober posted was fake.

Today is Veterans Day and therefore I thought that I would be great to show up the most iconic vehicle of World War 2, in which to this day Jeep still makes a model that is recognizable to it and you can tell where it gets its look. Happy Veterans Day to my fellow Veterans.

1960 Plymouth Savoy

This was the literal height of Virgil Exner’s love affair with fins.

Back in the 1970's, the US Army wanted to replace the Jeep for a more useful vehicle and in 1979, AM General won the contract and began production of the HMMWV or High Mobility multiple way vehicle or Humvee as called by army personnel or Hummer by civilians and it started to produce eventually hundreds of thousands and it is still in use and the Ukrainians really like the vehicle right now. Production has ceased years ago and it is being replaced, slowly but surely by the JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle).

I thought this was a cool shot of a 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury

I agree, it is a cool shot.  The lighting on the inside is very atmospheric.

In 1984, my mother replaced her beautiful 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo coupe with a Chevrolet Celebr1ty sedan. I was stationed in Pearl Harbor at the time, and I would have bought that beautiful Monte Carlo and fixed it since the timing chain in the engine had snapped and I would have loved to keep it to this day.

I don't know if this is an aftermarket conversion, or if VW actually sold them in a limited amount.  Either way, I think it's pretty neat.

This thing boggled my mind!   
THE BRUTAL AMERICAN 20-LITRE V-4 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CHRISTIE RACING CAR OF 1908
The most spectacular and brutal car Christie ever built was definitely the V-4 racer of 1908. It had an engine that housed an astonishing 20 liters (1,214 cubic inches), mounted transversely, the crankshaft taking the place of the front axle! It was a completely new design, specially built for the 1908 racing season and using no parts from previous racers…
The immense engine had a bore and stroke of 184 x 184 mm (7 1/4 inch square) and 8 atmospheric inlet valves per cylinder and just one mechanically opened overhead exhaust valve. The transverse mounted engine employed crankshaft mounted spur gears and telescopic U-joints on each end to drive the front wheels, originally through a transmission arrangement that featured dangerously exposed gears. Later this was changed, to make it better suited for high-speed racing…

My paternal grandfather owned a 1932 Chevrolet pickup truck because he owned a small foundry shop at the time in Orizaba, Mexico, and he was a Chevy man. My dad was also a Chevy man and I've been a Chevy man since I bought a used 1968 Impala back in 1974. This pickup truck was not his first Chevrolet when he bought a coupe in 1923, so you can say our family have been Chevy men for 100+ years now.

That’s a nice truck!

Very cool.  Wonder what the hp or top speed was.
