You took an excellent decision, my friend. That's also why I made the plunge for the Alpine. You are right, these are La Creme de la Creme.
Sweet yellow candies from the Sixties / Seventies. Let's see what we have!
Yellow probably is a color which is very linked to the 60's and 70's. The good thing is that it matches with some nice cars. Let's see what we have. Ferrari 246 Dino: Fiat 850 Coupé: Fiat Dino Spider: Yellow is not a italian thing, as we found this color ...
That beautiful Dino!
And the SAAB 96 - I grew up in the backseat of one of those (although a green one). Porsche 911 RSR ’73 (picture from Internet). ...
The epic Bora ! ...
Started with a 4.7 and then 4.9-litre V8, the Bora had fully independent suspension, disc brakes and air conditioning.
Let's not forget the German machines
But yes, that Giallo Fly Dino is amazing: strong racing roots (and a little bit Belgian too with that Ecurie Francorchamps colour) ...
Afaik, both colours officially exist
I am not expert but here is a thread from a forum: "(Fly and Modena) are not the same colours. Giallo Fly is a deeper, richer Yellow than Giallo Modena, although everyone has to admit that its very hard to tell if cars in both colours do not stand close e...
Love the 914...
...saw a new Bentley convertible in Palm Beach a week or so ago that was a very bold shade of yellow. It was very appropriate in its surroundings.
In Toyota technical terms it's a TE-27 Corolla. In '71 they came out with this 1200cc fastback coupe. In 72 there was a 1600cc "hemi" option which is what I bought. RWD,
tossable, light (under 2000 lbs) and fun. Thought I wanted a red one but ended up buying this mustard yellow... and loved it. Nice styling which I improved by blacking out the lower section and window frames. My 1st "new" car purchase.
What a delightful post on these old machines
Particularly love the Ferrari Dino and Alpine… those curves are gorgeous. I often think about the glorious machines of the past as to where we are headed with all these EVs. I can’t help but feel that my heart has been left behind with these old school ca...
my favorit from your picture would be the
1. Dino 2. 310 (this specific foto) 3. Spider (tie for no 2 if the 310 is in standard body) 4. 110 (tie for no 2 if the 310 is in standard body)
1960s-1970s are the most beautiful period automobiles
1970s ? how could you forget this one 😋 ...
IMHO Dino is the most beautiful Ferrari
Arguably the 250 family are equally godly gorgeous (GTO, SWB, Lusso, LM)
Yes, I have more to share (sorry to be late)
These are all from my personal ownership (or else I repaired them) ... and I suppose alphabetical order is as good as any, so let's start with CITROEN The Yellow van originally built in Argentina, later moved to the states and restored by a guy in Chicago...
