A faded and dusty Super Beetle - but looks like a good candidate for a resto:

A bottle of rubbing compound, some 100% cotton baby diapers, elbow grease, then some carnuba paste wax, more baby diapers and elbow grease, and that Beetle could shine like a diamond in a goat's, . . . . um, well, you know it would look pretty sweet, for not much money and a bit of hard work.

I see a drip pan, so it needs rocker cover gaskets. Maybe a case gasket and crank seals.

Fix it up!

I bet they consume a huge amount of fuel to keep all those fans moving air.

I agree, but they do get to the emergency pretty quickly.

And then there are the times when they're going nowhere at all; or are maybe already there.

A friend of mine just went up in it a couple of weeks ago as a treat for his 80th birthday, and also in remembrance of his uncle's crew who were all lost when their Lancaster was shot down 74 years ago.

No CAD

I asked the docent by the Rolls display if the ones made by Packard were SAE or Whitworth

He did't know and I didn't either at the time. As per the Wiki all Packard built Rolls engines were built to there specs.

None of these compare to the 1959 Impala

Like the one I had back in the day it was aa 283 with the Power Glide and Red cherry Bomb Glass Packs .

Man did I think I was Cool

The last piston powered Unlimited on the circuit powered by a dual turbocharged Allison V-12. Ed has quite a few of these engines to keep his boat racing.

Around here they call that box an EOTD, End of Train Device.

Slowly going through my photos still. Next time I attend an event, I will hopefully improve on getting more zoomed in on the subject during their performances.
