"2-barrel carburetion, time-modulated choke, solenoid throttle stop and - wait for it - nickel-plated exhaust valves."

Anyways, the most beautiful (IMO) and longest intact stretch of the old "Mother Road" was between Oatman and Kingman, AZ. And somewhere between those booming metropolises is the Hackberry General Store and Filling Station. Saw the old Corvette sitting outside and my brain said, "Martin Milner/Route 66", but I never understood why they had a life-size cutout of the King.
And now that I'm seeing this shot, I wonder, was that cutout some suggestion that Elvis actually visited the Hackberry General Store?

Apparently Malachite Green Metallic. My color vision isn't 100% reliable fwtw.

Saw that happen in Whorelando when the for a big BMX race.
A van with a bunch of bikes on the roof rack pulled into a hotel and the covered area in front of the office was not tall enough.

Designed jointly by chassis expert Don Foster and aerodynamicist Max Sardou, the M482 was the first Rondeau to have been conceived specifically as a Group C car. It represented the company’s first foray into both monocoque design and ground effect technology. Its twin-Venturi tunnels—incorporating lessons learned from Sardou’s earlier Lola T600 design—necessitated an outlandish “triple sponson” rear bodywork section. A long-stroke 3.9-litre Ford DFV engine operated as a stressed unit in conjunction with a five-speed Hewland VG5 gearbox, while double-wishbone suspension was employed conventionally at the front and via rocker arms at the rear.
