Coldplugs - Cars

"I wish I'd kept that old (insert your make and model here)"

Our cars ->  Alfa through OSCA  This section shows the cars my father and I owned back in the fifties and sixties. By today's standards it'd be quite a collection - then, they were just old cars. Most were pretty mundane, an Austin Healey, an MG, and so on. Some would be very desirable today - a Lotus factory race car, an OSCA owned by DeTomasso, and a BMW 507. Sadly all but one are gone. Fortunately, I took a few pictures.
 

Maybe it's because I practically grew up in a Chevy parts department, but I love looking at car parts. Here, you'll find parts, pieces, and engines. Some of the engine pictures were taken at a museum in Coventry - it'll be obvious which ones.

It wasn't all sports cars back then. We didn't have video games, but we had dragsters, boats, planes, and Volkswagen dealerships for excitement.  Volkswagen dealerships?
A few exotic things I managed to get pictures of through the years. Desmodromics, turbines, a Bug, a girl, and a dog, plus - a Chaparral with a snowmobile engine from a contributor - plus, an exotic Alfa with a past.
Many manufacturers introduced new models or concepts at the New York International Car Show in the sixties. I attended in 1964 and 1965 - here are a few pictures.
