I have one more post from my adventures at the Barrett Jackson auto auction. This time I'll showcase some of the vendors who surprised me. That vehicle above is made by a company called Saleen Automotive, a maker of high performance sports cars. I'd never heard of them before but, their founder Steve Saleen was due to sign some autographs later in the day. I didn't return to the area to catch a glimpse of him. However, I did admire that fantastic paint job on this car. Isn't that a gorgeous color?
This vendor takes new corvette engines and frames and makes them look like the 1960's version. If I had lots of money to spend, I might have been tempted. After all, when I was a teenager, this was my dream car. The crush I had on the stars of the old TV show "Route 66" had a lot to do with that.
This last vendor takes different off-road vehicles and turns them into luxury machines for roaming the desert and the mountains. This one has a dull finish and a very utilitarian look to it. They also had a few highly polished versions with all kinds of modern amenities inside.
There is certainly a lot to see at this event. It's not all collector cars!
That first one seems to smile at you!
ReplyDeleteI like that Vette too, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThe blue car is too fabulous Sharon, I can see myself cruising route 66 in this 😀
ReplyDeleteI do love that old-fashioned Corvette!
ReplyDeleteThat third one is my favourite.
ReplyDeletethat Vette is a beauty, Sharon. I do like that colour too of the first car.
ReplyDeleteThese are fascinating, Sharon. I am not a real car guy, but I admire the beauty.
ReplyDeleteSo I wonder how much they are worth of cost
ReplyDeleteThat first car probably has many layers of that paint. Beautiful.
