Show me a nice old car

“
Please share some photos with us.
2nd owner, that's something special right there for a car that old.”

Will do, when it warms up here in Minnesota, then I’ll take some photos!

The car has sentimental value as I used it for our first date, our wedding, pick up our children returning home from being born st a nearby hospital.

Haven’t started it for a long time. Mechanical brakes. Different driving especially today! Everybody in a big rush with their SUV’s

Mechanical brakes are why Dad left his '32 Model B back east when we moved west way back when. My brother and I never let him forget about that once we got into cars later on in life. He'd put a Merc flat-head V-8 in it. We called it the Boodle Buggy.

I recently rewatched The Italian Job (the original version). That film was chock full of Fiat 500's and included Fiat's Lingotto factory rooftop test track in the getaway chase scene.

@Yokosuka_Mike - You must have known those last three images would get a thumbs up from me.

Yes, Taipei Metro, I believe you're right that it's a 1959

@Yokosuka_Mike - Another fantastic sighting. If I'm not mistaken, at one point Honda actually had an example of the Sports 800 in their own Collection Hall. I don't know if this is still the case as I believe they occasionally do change up the vehicles on display. (Visiting the Honda Collection Hall is one of those things on my bucket list that I'm not likely going to make happen, but you never know.)

Have you ever given any thought to putting together a "Walking Tour of Yokohama for Car Nuts" kind of thing?
