Perhaps it was the only ’60 model in the L.A. fleet equipped with the dual quad, Ram Induction 383. Its best three run average was 14.99 at 91.64 with the 3.55 gears."

Veteran Posts: 139 | I think the 300G in the photo above may be the one I owned from 1979-87. Mine had the black 1962 headlight bezels, a front antenna with no right side mirror, and holes in the bumper where a trailer hitch had been installed. Can anyone identify the registration on the second boat as to what state? Mine was an Ohio and surrounding states car. the man I sold it to in 87 still owns it, in New York state. | ||

Veteran Posts: 139 | Thanks Ev, yes it certainly does look like a '66 North Dakota plate. I know my car was in Decatur Illinois at one point. On the black headlight bezels, I would assume an owner changed these as a cosmetic preference, and I would think this was seldom done, hence my thinking that it's a very strong possibility this is the car I owned. Strangely the car in the pic does not have a left outside mirror. Mine did, a remote control mirror. The car appears to be in very nice condition for being 5+ years old, referencing the Mercury behind it. Mine was a very late production '61, nicely optioned with factory AC and rear defogger but standard radio with front fender antenna. It was in fairly nice shape in the early 80's and I drove it out of state several times to Chrysler 300 club meets, but being only in my 20's at the time I had little means to improve the car and sold it. Wish I still owned it today. | ||

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | A photo reproduced in a movie... [img]https://i.postimg.cc/0N5G70N4/1219fralfmoviedodge.jpg[/img] I have no idea what the connection was as Alfie had no money for such a car and I don't think Adelina would even have been driving then. I would think that photo was taken at Calder raceway when he was racing his Lotus 20, but maybe not. It may well have been Adelina's brother's car. It's quite an interesting movie if anyone wants to invest 55 minutes in it... https://vimeo.com/377173427 (1219fralfmoviedodge.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 1219fralfmoviedodge.jpg (25KB - 381 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | This Plymouth, then very new obviously, came from a movie clip on You Tube showing the Italian Grand Prix of 1957. It's in the pit/paddock area at Monza. I'm pretty sure that would be a Lancia next to it, but it might be some kind of Alfa.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 375 Location: milano, italy | the Fury depicted in the pic above is one of the few imported for that year. There was an active importer and many Mopars were sold new from 57 to 65 or so. The Fury is running a Targa Prova, or a garage plate under the rear bumper, probably was awaiting italian registration. The car on the side is a Lancia Aurelia coupe, one of the most beautiful Lancias ever produced. My 58 Fury had italian plates dating to 1958, sold by same importer and dealership as the 57. | ||

A couple of European people loved photobucket and linked everything to it. Now those entire threads are unreadable because you no longer know what they are referring to. | ||

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Originally posted by Powerflite In general, it is best to upload the file here. Links eventually die, and the picture is lost. A couple of European people loved photobucket and linked everything to it. Now those entire threads are unreadable because you no longer know what they are referring to. I know the feeling well... Many times you go to a 'how to...' on a forum and it's more than a year old and the pictures are either not there, or Photobucket has a habit of putting them there but blurred and with a 'Photobucket' watermark across the bit you want to see. I used Imageshack for a long time but then they started to charge. Up until then they weren't totally reliable, but fairly useful, and they guaranteed picture retention if you paid the $36 a year. As I had over 4,000 pics uploaded I felt I had to pay, so I paid for a couple of years, then I got two e.mails at the same time - one from Paypal telling me to update my credit card details and one from Imageshack saying they'd cancelled my account because I didn't pay! And there was no way of contacting them to rectify it. Most of the images, however, do still remain there and when there's something I find that has dipped into oblivion I upload the pic again to Postimage, which remains free and seems to have no picture loss problems. At least, not that I've struck. But Postimage brought us a problem a year or two back too! Their URL included .org, so that was what you had on the image link on the thread involved. But they changed all of them to .cc, so you had to go back when a photo had disappeared and edit a change from .org to .cc. But then some threads on one or two forums are locked so they can't be edited. You can't win. One of the good things about some forum software is that it resizes images so they don't go beyond the window boundaries. We need that here! Note that you don't have to scroll across and back constantly to read my post? I'm cutting the line length so you don't, but many don't, and the only reason you have to do that is because people post photos which are too wide. | ||
