here's another eye magnet roadster from the Del Mar Goodguys

Right about here you see it has Elco Twin two spark plugs per cylinder heads, which were flathead trick pieces. The distributors for these were possibly gotten from early Nash or Cord v16 engines, I recall hearing something like that a couple years ago.

Notice the rare Veda Spec knock offs, probably the reporductions.

Beautiful wood work in the back deck, and laced up boots around the shifter and pedals

Tom Cobbs 1929 roadster, DeSoto grill, fantastic soldered copper tube fuel lines at the carbs

trivia I read and posted was that the first supercharged V8 was a factory experiment 285 cu in that went into this, or another, Tom Cobbs dry lakebeds race car

1966-67 drag racing on Green Valley Raceway, Smithfield Texas, probably never before seen, home video

2011 Renault Wind Sport coupe-roadster

2011 Renault Wind Sport coupe-roadster 

Renault announced its plans to unveil the brand-new Wind coupe-roadster at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show 2010 on 2 March. The 2011 Renault Wind is designed for two persons. Despite the fact that Renault pitches the car as a coupe-roadster, unlike other CC models with retractable hardtops, the Wind uses an exclusively innovative electric roof that rotates 180 degrees into the trunk, which is capable to open in just 12 seconds.

Renault Wind brings a completely different take on a car for drivers who enjoy wind-in-the-hair motoring. Renault Wind is aimed at motorists who lust after a car that is not only distinctive and compact, but also convertible yet practical enough for everyday use.

Advantages of this car is the only car of its class to provide just as much luggage space (270dm3 VDA) whatever the position of the roof.  The Renault Wind has a 3.83 metres in length which features a highly innovative way of opening up. The strictly two-seater model shares its platform and mechanical hardware with the Twingo, though at 3.830mm long, it's 230mm longer than the hatchback.

The French automaker is keeping a tight lid on other details for now, but it is expected that the Wind will be offered with two of the Twingo's petrol engines, a 1.2-liter turbo with 100HP and a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter unit with 133HP.

Although Renault Wind’s compact dimensions make it a nimble machine in and about town, it is the only car of its class to provide just as much luggage space (270dm3 VDA) whatever the position of the roof. True to Renault's brand signature "Drive the Change", Wind makes passion affordable for everyone.
