My 2nd HCM show - 56k hit the road

[CrzRsn]

Went to the HCM show again today. Wasn't in the photography mood, so I just took plain photos of each car. All unedited.

Highlight of the show... Probably a Ford F150 Lightning autographed by Carol Shelby, and a rear-engined Chevy Corsair

That '67 Camaro is gorgeous! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you meant Corvair, not Corsair?

 

[CrzRsn]

Yeah thats what I meant.

 

[thevictor390]

The real question is whether it's rear engined or dual-engined... whoever owns it should have opened the hood...

 

[The_Finn]

HA! i thought i saw a yellow Monaro badged GTO on 290 a last week... i knew i wasn't crazy

 

[JipJopJones]

I love that Camaro, It's a beaut.

Also that black dodge Challenger is so cool looking.

If it really is a GTO, did a good job of faking it. Doesn't have the Pontiac grille, and the rear bumper on the Pontiacs have GTO stamped in them. I imagine it's much cheaper to buy the necessary parts to have a "Vauxhall" than import one, though.

The valve covers on the engine still said GTO on them, as did the seats. The steering wheel also had the Pontiac badge on it, but the owner said he was working on getting a Monaro wheel.

Corvairs were rear-engined from the factory. a front-engined Corvair would have been unusual.

 

[CrzRsn]

Corvairs were rear-engined from the factory. a front-engined Corvair would have been unusual.

Oh. That would explain the lack of the grille. I was confused at that.

Ah, makes more sense than modifying it that way. Unusual for an American car, too.
