It's really cool seeing the classics of all the names I hear on Top Gear! Good shots.

A couple more from Daytona. Nationwide cars.

Excellent additions Jimmy! I know Paul has more stashed away..Hey Paul! :O)

Will have more after GFoS this year.
Must check the dates or I'll not book the holiday :eek:

This was a big deal for Chevrolet in 1957. :D

Cool thread! Hadn't seen it before.

A recent one. Terrible on the car's drag coefficient :p

Does this qualify as a hood ornament ?

Amazing series.

A 'vette of course. But the year escapes me...

I'm not a 'Vette' expert Loupey, but I believe it's a '63 Sting Ray (...with the hood up) .
...the year the coupes had the trademark split rear window, a one year only feature, along with the fake hood louvers.
Nice capture, btw !! :thumbsup:

Rick & Rivman - thanks for the info on that car. I gotta remember to pay more attention.

Another one - an old but beautiful Jag. Not really an ornament on not really a hood.

Wow,Loupey...very nice! Here is a classic..1952 PACKARD.

Very classy captures Rick !! :thumbsup:
A couple of Vette nose emblems - '78 25th Anniversary, and an unknown ( '79 ?).
