dieseltaylor Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Anybody who likes cars might want to save the $120 dollar catalogue and browse the net. The funniest and no doubt cheapest will be lot 384 a Subaru Police car : ) The most flambouyant http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCars.cfm?SaleCode=MO10&CarID=r124 which should be 1949 Delahaye with an interesting history I like the 1938 Talbot-Lago lots, and was very impressed with how good a 1955 Astra Coupe looked. GM - as in Opel/Vauxhall seem to have gone backwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVS Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 That blue Delahaye is one oddball mish-mash of nice and ugly. Like you, I prefer the Talbot-Lago, but I wouldn't say 'no' to the silver Delahaye, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Where the hell do you find such oddities? Oh, and the Monterey sea air should do those classics a bit of good. FWIW, the Subaru Police car looks pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Thinking about the Delahaye a bit more I realise it makes me think of who framed Roger Rabbit. Was something like it in the film? On reflectin and checking here no http://www.imcdb.org/movie_96438-Who-Framed-Roger-Rabbit.html Another oddity for Mike http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/farid/research/digitaltampering/ And my second honeymoon was on the SS Monterey - definitely lots of salty air : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's still what they use as their pursuit vehicles in NZ as the fastest cars they have to chase after in that land that time forgot are Morris 1100's!

Stalins Organ Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 You haven't ben over here for a while, have you? They're all Holden Commodores these days, and if that's inadequate then it's probably on account of it's Aussie designed & built....... In fact they've been Holdens or Aussie Fords (Falcons) for decades now.......when did you say you were nabbed by a Subaru while you were trying to trying to race your 1100 over here?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ah I remember my delight seeing all those old Citroens with the runningboards in Auckland in the 70's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
