Showing Original Post only (View all)What was your coolest car? Mine: '63 MGB. [View all]
In British Racing Green.
Wire wheels, knock-off hubs.
Knock-off hubs: Instead of lug nuts to hold the wheels on, the wire wheels had one flanged, center, screw-on chromed hub nut. The car came with a rubber mallet to 'knock off' the flanges on the hub and knock it back on.
Genius.
I'm 6' 3" and it's the only car I've owned that had more legroom than I needed.
If I put the seat all the way back, I could barely reach the pedals.
My second coolest was a red '65 Karmann Ghia convertible.
Underpowered, but a lot of fun.
