Natalie and Bridget aren't bad either.

It's a shame that those car weren't built. They are a lot cooler than the crap that was built for the masses. Thanks for the link man.

That Timbs Buick car was something else! It has been shown recently in a couple of different magazines.

I always loved Natalie Wood....ever since miracle on 34th street, which was before even MY time.

For some reason I really like the look of the 904s.

I really love the 904 too. The long tail 917s are most lovely too. Of course we expect the Italians to make lovely cars, like the Ferrari P3/4 and almost countless others.

Wonder if any of those cars exists in a museum someplace?

1938 Horch

More photos in the link: Five of these cars were built, three of which are known to survive today. The first example was built for Nazi Herman Goering; it was the only one built to bulletproof standards. At the same time, Mercedes-Benz was building a 540K Special Roadster for Goering. When both cars were completed, Goering chose the Mercedes-Benz, primarily because it featured bulletproof doors and door glass, while the Horch featured only a bulletproof windshield. This first Horch 853 Special Roadster was ordered to be dismantled, although parts of the car were used in the subsequent four Special Roadsters.

I had the pleasure of observing a 904 up close at a porsche gathering at Oxford Oh a couple of years ago. I first thought it was a replica because some parts of the frame looked a lot like a street porsche, but I learned that it had been rebuilt from a badly wrecked tub. Lovely cars.

I've seen a few a PCA events and shows. At one point (when I was broke) they were relatively affordable, now they are worth 7 figures. I'm always amazed at how many parts are shared between racing and street porsche of that era. Back then, their street cars were actually sports cars, not just luxury GTs for the viagra crowd.
