Default Post Pictures of All the Sports Cars

Most if not all of us have a history with more than one sports car. The following are the pictures of the ones I have owned. You can probably guess which one was my first.

I had a 1976 Camaro (no pic available), a 1988 Grand Am (quad 4), and a 1995 Celica GT convertible (also no pic available). I become more convinced every day they were posers anyway.

I've got to clean up the S before I post a picture (maybe I'll have my new wheels by then).

bat,

The first picture is the interesting one to me. I see pegged paints, penny loafers, DA hair cut, racing strip, side curtains, and white walls. Looks like it's about 1959.

And isn't there a 59-60'ish Chevy in the background? Love those fins! My dad had a 59 Chevy. Is the other one a Plymouth of some sort? Did they make Valiants back then?

My 1952 MG-TD. Photos from 1979/1980

My favorite photo. Me, my TD and my dad.








I can't find any photos of my 1972 MGB, my TR-6 or my X-1/9


And of course my S. (And me, still under the hood.)

You are very perceptive. It was indeed 1959. I had the world by the tail or at least I thought so.
I look at that picture now and wonder why I had whitewalls. That was a fun car though. I lived at Virginia Beach then and between college sessions, I was a patrolman with the PA County Police.

Great looking TD. I bet you wish you had that one now.
You know it. That one and my MGB.
