1934 Model 40 Special Speedster (BW)

A couple of pix from the Detroit North American International Auto Show. The Special Speedster is a big hit-the woman with the camera thought it was the coolest car she has ever seen:









The presenter seemed pretty bored with everything-even that nice motor (F-150 Raptor).



And my wife hates the Soul but loves the commercials...

Isn't that Leno's car? I think he has one the same color as that.

at first, it looks like a shiny tractor (from the front)

cool car!

Not Jay Leno's. Quite a history!

Last time I saw that car it was red and belonged to a man in Florida I believe.

It reminded me of a Fiat Multipla


Not sure why as they are quite different in every way, but still the first thing that came into my mind.
