We just had the hydrofoil races in Mission Bay last weekend. The big boats.
But what I really want to know about is that Ferrari. I've not seen that one before. What model? _________________ Prosit!

I googled 'ferrari no windscreen' which brought up the monza sp2 - for that authentic 'flies in the face' experience _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

There are a few more in the area. Most of the people who show up to this C&C are tied to the auto industry in some way. The depth of some of their collections is amazing. Pre production vehicles show up to be critiqued by the other designers that show up.
Here is a NYT article on the event. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/19/business/dream-cruise-car-designers.html |

I've seen that Stratos before. IIRC it's a replica from Eagle Cars in the UK. Runs an Alfa 6cyl, or did. |

Nice! Studebakers of this era were fascinating. Steve Magnante's "Junkyard Gold" covered several models, and is a story of trying to compete with the Big Three on a shoestring budget.
This car had a large V-8 and was a muscle car of the era. Fins were so popular, they grafted fiberglas fins on the rear fenders! Cheaper than retooling for an all new fender.
This one has Twin Traction (TT badge at the rear), the Studebaker/Packard version of posi-traction.
Or as the lovely Mona Lisa Vito said in "My Cousin Vinny", "It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing."
