The VW Bus owner has had it for 40 years. I really liked it and the Thing as well as the big Alfa.
I included a Studebaker for Stan and a Buick for Bruce.

Wow! Some serious eye candy there, Mike. One that really jumps out at me is the green late 40s Buick Sedanette. Gorgeous! And that tan Alfa cabriolet must be worth a fortune. Surprised there aren't guards around it.
That red Maserati looks just like one I had the pleasure of driving a few years back. One of Giorgetto Guigiaro's finest.
Me too Lane ! The Buick is a 49 Special torpedoback I think. Rainfall grill with 25 grill bars . My Mother drove a black one like this. Dynaflow trans and Fireball straight-8 engine. I always thought they moaned like a cow when accelerating . You could almost put down a twin bed in the rear seat compartment. Green is my favorite color generally but not that green on that car.
The Studebaker Lark convertible is a little rare. It came with a 232 CID 6 cylinder and a Borg Warner automatic trans. There were a lot of them in the LA County fleet for the LA County Dept. of Social Services back in the day. Not convertibles though.....Bruce
The last car had both Rover & MG badging. It has a Rover V8.
Yeah, the MG RV8. Just enough MGB in it to tie to the past, but modern drive train and really swanky interior - sort of an MGB by Rolls Royce. Never imported into the US, but a number have made it in over the years. Always liked those but not a fan of right hand drive in a left hand drive country.
"Sort of an MGB by Rolls Royce"
Nothing like covering both ends of the spectrum.
Does that mean that it was an MG that didn't leak rainwater into it?
Uh....The Buick was a Super not a Special and it is a Sedanette. I forgot that version. I think the 48 Buick Super Sedanette had a different grill....Less bars......Bruce
Thanks for sharing those cool pics, Michael!
