The things you find on Youtube

not exactly accurate, but amusing

Wow, automated paint spraying! I wouldn't have thought it was a thing at that time.

i was shocked by that as well

this is just entertaining

No idea what's being said but I'm thinking they've decided this oval ragtop is a bit too far gone:

They stated that this is a quite rare '57 oval bug.
It's a standard model with cable brakes and without chrome trim but with that ragtop as an extra.
This seems to be a quite uncommon and rare option. They assumed about 10 cars may have been built.
The extra charge for the ragtop option was almost the same as for a fully equipped export model with hydraulic brakes.

Oh, that's a nice one! For being over 70 years old that's a nice example, in spite of all the little bits of love to keep it alive. Looks like it had a birdhouse installed at the left taillight ;)

Very cool but I'm suspicious of the 140 hp from the 1641.

i question that, even at just the flywheel. that 1641 realistically is probably putting 85 to the ground

this gives me an idea. a naughty idea :twisted: probably get me arrested in Germany or cancel cultured in the US. get one of those, dress as Hitler, and recreate the Washington crossing the Delaware painting :lol: or i guess i could just have someone paint it, but where's the fun in that?

We could sell the prints on the site for you to go towards your legal fund.

Check out Wikipedia: Look who's back

Unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere other than sketchy share sites. I could have sworn that I found another series a while ago with the same premise. I googled for a while but I couldn't re-find it.

Randy, you dress as Hitler standing tall in the back and I'll dress as Trump and be your driver across the Delaware.
