She's no longer an icon, but no other female driver has led as colorful a career as Hellé Nice (what is it about French women?). She won a ride from no less than Ettore Bugatti and diced with best GP drivers in the '30s (Tazio, Bernd, Rudolf, etc., etc.), occasionally beating them to the finish line. She set several…

Completely agree. The profile shot is the only real bad angle on this one. I prefer the forward-looking and much lighter Zagato bodies, but those things are in a whole different price zone.

Um, that bottom photo just works. Well done, whoever.

I'm partial to the AMC I-6s, having owned a few of them, but for me the Maserati A6 engine remains the most alluring, particularly in championships winning 250F form. Sure, it ran at 12:1 on a combo of methanol, benzene, castor oil and dragon blood, and despite early experiments with direct fuel injection (in 1953!)…

Don't forget the UK.

Nice. +1.

I think it's a nice move. He didn't have the money to restore his old Packard, so instead of junking it like 99.5% of the population would have in 1966, he socked it away until he could.

I think most NYC Crown Vics are the LWB versions now, and they have pretty good legroom. I rarely use taxis, so I could be wrong. The regular short versions have terrible passenger space.

100% PES? Is that like POS?

Now the question is will Bahrain be officially cancelled?
