    “Poster child for Toyota reliability, durability, ruggedness, ease of ownership all wrapped up in a perfectly sized no nonsense do it all pickup.
    Added bonus, respectable mpg and well mannered handling.”

    “These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”

    “Thank you. My hubby has been talking about getting one for 10-plus years, and I am getting this to surprise him when he finishes his cancer treatments!”

    “Rusty Hammer had always known where he fit.
    Thirty years behind the same counter in the same hardware store in Fort Stockton will do that to a man. He was the one folks came to when something broke. Hinges, pipes, doors that wouldn’t close right. Rusty had an answer for all of it.
    Until one morning, he didn’t.
    It wasn’t dramatic. Just him standing in the hinge aisle, staring at shelves he’d stocked a thousand times, realizing he couldn’t remember why any of it…”

    “Also nice that they kept it in original Lime Gold. Probably only half the cars produced still in this wonderful color. My buddy just repainted his back to original Lime Gold after 40 years being Wimbledon white.”

    “My hats off to the builder of this 55. Seldom do I see a car that has had all the body work done properly. Take note people, when you take it down to bare metal you’re doing a great job and less likely to have a chemical reaction from previous paint jobs. With the body having a top notch job you know that the rest of the car was built right.”

    “Awesome time capsule! I wish you could buy new cars as simple and reliable as this. Save the manuals!”

    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “A 1952 220A Cabriolet was my daily driver in the early 1970s. When decades later I drove past a billboard depicting a painted one on Sunset Blvd, I did a u-turn to see what it was about. It advertised the Hiro Yamagata exhibit at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery running from Sept 13 thru Oct 23, 1994. I was at the opening, chatted with Mr Yamagata, and marveled that I was seeing more 220As in one room than I had seen in my entire life.
    I asked him why he chose this car to paint. He replied…”

    “This is the car that convinced me just why fulvias were rally champions. Having known the owner for a while you can rest assured that this particular example was treated with both love and care.
    Having had a chance to drive it down a curvy road or two, it’s mechanically perfect and just a hoot to drive as well.
    The gorgeous color doesn’t hurt either.”

    “An AMC Hornet on a rotisserie…now that’s something you don’t often see. I like it. The dedication taken to not only restore, but improve upon this perpetual underdog is quite admirable. Bravo! Outstanding results. This noteworthy malaise should get nothing but praise.
    GLWTA.”

    “Could be a straightforward project for Marcos lovers who want to experience ownership. Perhaps a marque expert could chime in on whether the steel frame is of similar configuration to the original plywood ones and where the potential trouble spots might be before asking for more info from the seller. Lewes is a beach town if it originated there then factor in corrosion potential, and one of the road wheels shows signs of same. B18’s are usually bulletproof and agriculturally simple. Send the…”

    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “This is amazing and as others have said should at least anchor a Fox collection. I especially appreciate @CoastsideCat ‘s comment noting that 131HP in 1979 was actually a big deal. We’ve become completely spoiled by the evolving technology that now gives us 1,000HP with clean emissions, albeit typically in 4,500lb behemoths.
    I nearly became a new Ford follower rather than jumping on the FWD Mopar developments at the time. The Fox chassis intrigued me as it solved the troublesome loading…”

    “Call me crazy, but I prefer this over the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. You simply can’t use the Bugatti nor remotely explore the limits. This Prelude you can drive at 10/10 and have a blast. Driving a slow car fast is more appealing and easily doable during everyday driving.”

    “I feel like I’m back in College studying again right back from the beginning….throw away the last 60 years of hands on fun and Honda love…..we’ve all been enrolled in CT70, 101….as first year Freshman. Looks like this has become a business……….:)”
