Elliot - I'd say a 1965 Jane Mansfield.

Incorrect BUT based on the headlights I’m awarding you an “Honorable Mention” for the guess.
 
See, we really are talking about cars. A poem I wrote about "cars";);) during my "poetic period", a sort of parody on Dylan Thomas.
Admiration


Do not protest that we admire a car,
There’s little can be altered anyway,
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

Wise women understand, though it’s bizarre,
Our love of shapely lines and curves, so they
Do not protest that we admire a car.

Good women know they’re better off by far
To just accept our lust and they will say
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

The fancy women at the corner bar,
Their lovely curves a feminine bouquet,
Do not protest that we admire a car.

Most women seem to feel our look won’t mar
The beauty of the lines we might survey,
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

So you, our love, our one and only star,
We look and drool without a thought to stray.
Do not protest that we admire a car.
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.
 
"Big Green Eyes"!!





It's Friday so this should be in the "What are you listening to" thread?

What make car is this?

I know exactly what that is.... Israel's first and thankfully only attempt at a sports car. The "Sabra" The only one I have seen in real life was a body shell in a playground. The same company that put these things together slapped together a bunch of other poorly built fiberglass bodied cars based on English Ford or Triumph mechanical bits.

Sabra - I'd actually never heard of that car. (and until now, never seen one - thank heaven ...)

Just looked up the meaning of the word "sabra" - a Jewish person born in Israel (or before 1948 in Palestine). Makes sense, if the car was developed in Israel. Other meanings: a spikey cactus, or "patient and perseverant".

Just wish the design had been a bit ... less ... spikey.
 
For those wanting to make one last road trip.
