Pre production Lightning 1 of 17 out for testing. Will go back to Dearborn and be destroyed once they are done playing with it. Truck has over 22k miles on it.
Very cool truck that is going to sell like Hot cakes at a fire house.

Saw a white VW Convertible, top down, with a boot/cover ahead of me on the road. It was a 1975-1979 model, could tell from rear apron.

if you think that's ugly - did you know it's possible to convert a modern citroen van to the classic H look?

It’s depressing to think of the hours and talent that went into making something so ugly..

I suspect that it’s a static concessions trailer now.

Did see a ratty looking late 60's Mustang on West 25th St this am, with a 4 sale sign in the window.

No time to get a picture.

wow, in Italy sedan 124s are practically extinct... I remember already in the '80s they were quite rare, you could occasionally still see some being used as taxicabs.

not far from true... as a matter of fact a number of detail improvements planned for the 124 such as a stronger hood structure, recessed door handles, etc. were first implemented on Ladas as Fiat technicians were setting up that production line.
