Things that quickly come to my mind over the last few decades...
King Tut's funeral chariot.
Abraham Lincoln's funeral hearse.
General Lafayette's funeral hearse
Chucks of the Hindenburg
Fully disassembled Craig Breedlove's original Spirit of America jet car
Multiple 18th century steam engines.
1972 Ford L Line
Damn 10 speed split shift
56 mph TOPS!
Up hill / down hill, any grade, that thing was geared low. Had to pop it out of gear downhill to get any speed
Years ago I used to work for a company that specialised in antique and classic car parts. The owners were rich eccentric brothers. They had a rather large collection of antique vehicles, one of them was the Packard from the movie “Godfather “
The company used to have a booth at the Hershey car show every October. One year the owner had to leave due to a family emergency. I was elected to drive the hearse home after the show.
The oldest car I drive was 37 years old- my grandmother's '71 Mustang that I fixed and took her for one last lap in. I've driven a few '60s models but that was in the late '80s.
Not as exciting as most of you, but my first car was a 1981 Mustang. Unfortunately, it was my grandpa's old car so it was 4 cylinder. It was a dog going up hill, had to pull over to the slow lane on the freeway sometimes.
'55 Type 1 US spec 3 fold ragtop. It was built 2 weeks prior to the mid-year factory change over that did away with the Barndoor Type 2's and the 3 fold ragtops in the Type 1.
At my buddies shop. I could not afford it with the Randar wheels he had on it before I bought it.
