OT - local car show pictures

[tdskip]

Sorry for the low res - took them on the Blackberry.

Will with a local Metropolitan;

Lauren with a clapped out Herald, which looked pretty solid from a body perspective actually;

The satin paint finish on this truck was super cool.

I was just hoping it didn't fall out of the photographer's shirtpocket when he bent over to take the interior shot!

Pretty sure it's a "period correct accessory".

Is that Herald a Sports Six?

 

[tdskip]

LOL guys, and no, it didn't fall out of my shirt pocket!

Pretty sure that 3rd pic was a gt6+, 'cause it looks exactly like mine!!!!!!!!

without the cute kids of course.

Is that Herald a Sports Six?

I was wondering that myself, Nick! I suspect it actually is a Canadian-market Vitesse 6. That's assuming that the infamous "3rd picture" is the interior of the same car. It shows two small gauges hanging down, and I'm guessing they'd be the fuel and temp gauges found on the later Vitesse 6, along with the separate speedo and tach (not pictured). As far as I've been able to tell, most or perhaps all true Sports 6 cars had the big speedo w/fuel gauge incorporated, and a separate temp gauge. Another possible giveaway is that the wood dash appears to be the earlier "overlay" type that fit around the switches and controls, where the later dashes had switches and controls that fit to the wood fascia....

<span style="color: #CC0000">[EDIT]...which I realize doesn't make sense. Duh. Perhaps one of those gauges hanging down in the photo was an add-on gauge? The dash wood does seem to contradict my blathering about later dashes. :blush:</span>

Of course, only the commission number plate can tell us for sure....

Sorry, but I didn't grab a pick of any of the VIN plates. The interior is of the same car...
