All these were Left hand drive;
OK, so what's the problem? Looks like some nice examples - too bad they're lined up like that. Nice looking Corvette.

Here's some modern iron at a recent car show. These really don't do much for me, but I thought I'd better get a couple shots for the record...

Paul, Paul, Paul...
All the civilised countries of the world drive on the left side of the road, which means (now follow closely) motor vehicles have the steering wheels located on the right (also the correct) side of the car.
The vehicles of which I made these images are in the wrong country.

Fantastic set of train images!

Here's one you don't see every day - 1967 AMC Rebel SST. Note the "Rambler" nameplate on the front edge of the hood - that disappeared on the '68 model.

Wisconsin Horsepower!

I love seeing irregularities in how automakers label their stuff. Like the Rebel SST, things where a car is derived from one model but wears the badges from both the parent model and itself. Can you imagine if early Mustangs had "Falcon" on the trunk too?

I have a model of an AMC Rebel "The Machine" in red, white, and blue here with me at work.

I had to look this up and found an interesting article here: Red, White & Fast: 1970 AMC Rebel Machine - Hot Rod Network
Groovy stuff!

AMC gained a lot of credibility in the early '70s when Roger Penske ran the Javelin in the Trans AM series beating the Mustangs and Camaros at their own game.. Those were good years for AMC.

Cobra seen at a recent car show - not sure if it's genuine or a replica, but it's nicely done.
