All these classics showing up, I thought I would throw my hat in the ring. The ever growing paddock at Cherokee Point.

Oh my goodness. That's quite the traffic jam.

That's quite an impressive lineup. You even have the ultra-rare Morgan, the headless driver edition!

Holy crap Bob! I think you win!

Great looking cars :text-bravo: tanks for sharing

Ah yes, the Blue Ghostrider. They say, when the moon is full and he's at full throttle, a head of flames appears on his shoulders... which is pretty scary because Morgans have wood frames and a cloth roof!

the green feeling returns

Wow bob wow!!! I want that red and white...... Gullwing is it ?

Ñow that is one GREAT PARADE!

Oh and that escort in there hiding!!! Ya buddy


Johnny defining a classic is in the eye of the holder I believe. 50-70 to me is a classic maybe even earlier.... Most these cars are the ninco classics. The kinda set the stage for the classics in my opinion.

I'm kind of base it on the Ninco Classics selection too. Usually '50s and '60s. Usually small roadsters or convertibles that are equally at home touring or racing. They were inexpensive and fun. The XK120 probably is borderline on the price range when it was new, but it was competitively battling on the track for 2 or 3 decades which means it fits in.

To me it's the Ferrari that doesn't fit. It was a rich man's toy.

I call 50s-60s the classics....the mold set by the Ninco and Carrera cars. Early Ferraris fit in my world but not the later ones. As can be told by my collection I tend toward the more obscure and/or "what if" or fantasy rides.

The era for me is also 50-60's. I think the term "classic" personifies the vehicles that had mass appeal. You rarely hear of a classic Saab Sonnet or Thames panel from 1959. But a classic corvette or a classic 356...etc. etc... All cars have a soft spot in someone's heart, but I think the Usual suspects are the true classics.
Just my opinion of course
