1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible
I got to speak to the owner, who says it's all original. It was a beautiful day, and he regretted not having removed the top, which is also original. When I looked up some info about the car I hadn't realized that the windsheild wipers are under vacuum powered doors.
There's something about Corvettes... they were the most desirable car when I was a kid. The early C3 represents a pinnacle of GM car design, and this example is beautiful. But... how is it that most people did not recognize the (now) obvious phallic symbol that this car literally embodies (particularly in #11). I realise that this statement will annoy some people. To me there is no ignoring it. And in later years it got so. much. worse. The car became it's own parody. To me it now looks pretty arrogant and on the nose.
Please don't misunderstand. It's both beautiful and dreadful at the same time, and I see it both ways. My dream car turned into a guilty pleaure. Well I guess we change, and so do our dreams.

Revisited: Triumph Spitfire Mark III
The last time this car appeared here
I still think this is a Mark III, regardless of what it says on the trunk, which places it somewhere in the late 60s or 1970. It's stil a mishmash, with sidemarker lights on the rear fenders but not on the front. The license plate has changed, so I suspect it has a new owner.

1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500
I first found this car on a busy street downtown. I got a few pictures, then the owner arrived. I complemented her on her car, and told her it was too bad I could not get any more pictures. This happens more often than I'd like. And off she went. I could not beleive my luck when I happen upon the car again in the next neighbourhood a half hour later. Only #4 and #5 are pictures I took in the first location.
Love how the colour of the grille is subtly matched to the interior. At the time I didn't notice the well used "FIRE MISSILES" button and the brass SCCA plaque on the dashboard.
