Was Jayne Mansfield alive when that was built? I know it's photochopped, I was just wonderin'.

Man those are some really huge............

......headlights?

It's a photoshop some guy did, I guess. It was in my inbox and figured I'd give Bill a peek at the car, since we know he could care less about the girl. And, it's not Jayne Mansfield. Some chick with the last name Dors......

 

[AVB]

Damn, Diana Dors goes back to the 30's. I'd say that one is 40's era though.

OOoooooooooo BABY I am sooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

That's a 1956 or a 1957 XKSS HOLY MOMMA :0 :0 :thumbs: :thumbs: :love:

Steve McQueen had one of those, they followed the "D" type. Only a few hundered were made. There was a fire in the Jaguar factory in 1957 that destroyed quite a few of them that were on the assembly line.

If you can find one, they'd go for about $1,000,000.00 :0

Did someone say there was a girl somewhere in the photo ??? ???

Here's another picture of one:

You can definitely see the E-type lurking under there somewhere. Just needs to go on a diet. (The car, that is. The girl is fine as is. )


Man, Bill must have been genuinely excited!


HUNDERED?!?

 

[CoventryCat86]

You got it Bob, theses were sort of a precursor to the E-Types which came out in 1960 (I think??)

 

[psyktek]

Yup, somewhere around there. I know that by 1966 I was lusting after one until the local dealer took me back into the shop and showed me a coupe that had been waiting for a windshield for SIX months!! :0

Then he tried to sell me an Alfa, then a Griffith. I'm still not sure if he was being nice....

But the big iron got me: '66 GTO, black vinyl over maroon. Boy, I miss that car.....

(Yes, still. Us old farts got long memories. Not good, mind you, but long......_
