I remember seeing these bumper stickers when I was a little kid. I didn't know what any of it meant. I didn't even know that it was for a radio station.

It appears that this was taken during the Prescott Hill Climb about 100 miles NW of London. Can't find anything about the photographer.
Stopped in Beaver UT to let kiddos stretch legs. Spotted a Ford RanchWagon and a Cadillac something next door to mcds.

Want to trade McDonald's? The ones in that neck of the woods have better cars around them than the ones local to me do.
In reply to JoeyM :
Mostly folks go to Beaver for cheese curds (he he) and bumper stickers. I just got lucky passing through.

That's the Cadillac that Brigg's Cunningham brought to LeMans in 1950.
In reply to Woody and GIRTHQUAKE :
Yes. That's one of the two Caddy's that Briggs brought to LeMans in '50, his first of many attempts. That was the stock Caddy. The other had special bodywork. Bodywork on the special ("LeMonstre," dubbed by the French) was sort of ersatz automotive aerodynamics of the era, thanks to the volunteers at Grumman Aircraft on Long Island. Aircraft guys, not GM Stylists. That's why it sort of looks like an airplane from the era. The image Woody posted above looks like the body buck that was used for the contuation series of C4's that were produced in Lime Rock, CT, a few years ago ... results below:

Outlaw Lancia Aurelia B20, chopped and prodified. I would love to sample this gem.
I don't remember that grille on the back, looks like it should hide a radiator.
Might have found the problem.
Magic smoke sure does stink.
In reply to 914Driver :
That was a decorative grill in the back. It's a '54 GM concept car they called "Corvair" at the time ...of all things. Basically just a fastback version of the contemporary Vette of the era done up as a styling exercise. I don't know how many were made, but most likely just one or two for the Motorama traveling shows. I saw one at the Audrain Museum last year. It was on loan from Ken Lingenfelter's private collection in Plymouth, MI.
Well, if we're going to rebody modern cars with copies of classics, pleas God, somebody make a copy of that on the C8! That's easily the prettiest Vette I've ever seen.

The best part about that isn't the broken frame. It's the dog in the shade.

Of course, I'd want the wagon.
