Imagine cruising around town and then rolling out on a secluded stretch of beach for the day in this classic Ford Bronco. Love the green too, much better than OJ White…

Cool and interesting cars that caught our eye either at shows or on the street.
Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach in Outrageous Orange!
It’s amazing how much the right color can add to the impact a car has on the world around it. The Porsche 918 Spyder has a ton of presence to begin with, but in this molten orange it seems like it can stop time itself.
People were pouring over this thing in Scarsdale, especially little kids, who must have been totally transfixed . Even with all of the other insane machines around it, this Porsche had it’s own special sort of gravity.
In addition to it’s spectacular paint job, this 918 Spyder was also fitted with the coveted Weissach Package. That made it extra cool for me because it’s actually the first Weissach-equipped Porsche 918 I’ve laid eyes on in person.
Enjoy the gallery!

1975 Lancia Stratos at the Greenwich Concours
An Italian rally legend in one hell of a color! It rained like hell at the Greenwich Concours, and that that only made this teal Stratos “pop” even more.
Enjoy!

A Rockin’ Red Chevy Bel Air at Lead East
Chevrolet really needs to rekindle the flame of the charm they once had. Somewhere along the line they misplaced their sense of style, and ever since then most of their cars have been forgotten in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the classic Chevy Bel Air remains an icon of class and style for the automobile. Chevrolet’s product people need to spend more time around the older cars when looking for inspiration.

1916 Harley-Davidson 16F at Lime Rock
We don’t always feature motorcycles, but when we do they’re vintage and amazing. This is a 101 year old Harley-Davidson, and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Enjoy!
The Alfa Romeo Giulia QV in its best color
Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante in Philly
The hardcore experience without a roof. This is arguably the best Gallardo of them all, especially if it’s one of the manual ones.

I saw my first Ferrari GTC4Lusso in Philly
I got my first in person look at the Ferrari GTC4Lusso at the Philly Auto Show, and I’m not really sold on the look. I definitely like the styling of the FF better. Ferrari seems to have toned it down a bit with the Lusso, and it didn’t do the car any favors.
Most of all I find the headlights awkward. They’re too big, and not a very elegant shape (I felt the same about the FF too). I also think the new taillights look weird with the shape of the car. I liked the FF’s single round taillights much better.
I will, however, always love the shooting brake design, and I’m glad Ferrari seems to be sticking with it.

I wonder when it came from to get here…

The KIA Stinger GT Looks Phenomenal in Person
Most people seemed to agree that the KIA Stinger GT looked enticing when it first broke cover. I also heard many people say they’d buy one and de-badge it so no one would know it’s a KIA. With its wonderful proportions, the Stinger GT looks even better in person than it does in photos, and the fact that it’s a KIA doesn’t bug me in the slightest. I’m someone who likes to give credit where credit is due, and this could well be a home run for KIA. Let them have their shine.
I’m very curious to see what pricepoint KIA will place the Stinger at. I think it’s obvious they need to go lower to compete with the likes of the BMW 4 Series, but how much lower before it’s too low to be seen as a genuine competitor?

The Stunning Supercar Display at the Philly Auto Show
Usually the FC Kerbeck display of Aston Martins and Lamborghinis is the high point of auto exotica at the Philly Auto Show, but this year was very different. A local collector decided to bring his personal collection of ultra rare, limited production supercars to display.
We’ve featured most of them before in our coverage of the owner’s CF Charities Supercar Show, but these cars are so rare that you don’t pass up a chance to shoot them. What I find most interesting, is that (other than the Ferrari) these are all the ultimate versions of exotic American supercars from Saleen, Mosler, and SSC. There are many great car collections in the world, but this one his absolutely unique, namely because the Mosler is a one-off and the Saleen is 1 of 3.
I remember being a kid and just oogling at the supercars on display at the Philly Auto Show. I admit, seeing a standard Lamborghini doesn’t do what it once did for me at this point, but seeing these insane cars lined up together brought me back to that feeling.
Enjoy!
