Triumph TR 6. Marshall, Texas.

 


From Don Green Culbertson in Texas: "The Triumph Spitfire was my dream car. That is, until I saw the Fiat Spider. I’ve never owned or driven either of these cars, but as a child in the 70s, looking around the sea of autos, these would stand out more than the MG; more than even a Porsche, at the time. This one was parked in part of the courthouse in Marshall this summer."
AL: We posted a TR6 from Center Harbor last summer.

MO Thunderbird

 

Basha Burwell caught the 1957 T'Bird in St Louis. Nice little machine though I wish turquoise was not such a popular color for '50s restorations. This car is missing it wheel skirts, which would cover approximately half the wheelwell. We posted a 1956 Thunderbird from San Mateo.
