^ When I was born, my parents brought me home from the hospital in their Ford Woody.

A woody was involved earlier, too...

A photographer friend of mine has a '50s Buick woody that he has been very slowly trying to restore. I have only seen it sitting in his garage so I don't know how far along he's gotten with the restoration work.

S1 Jaguar E Type. Probably a 64-67.
BMW 2002. Probably a '74 with the 5 speed Getrag.

Firebird 400 4 speed. Chirped tires in all gears. Belonged to my drummers dad. RIP Oscar.

Firebird 350 SS 4 speed. Chirped ties in all gears. Belonged to my drummers dad. RIP Oscar.

That's a Camaro, not a Firebird.

S1 Jaguar E Type. Probably a 64-67.

Oh yes now you're talking.. Proper cars...
I did a few hundred miles in an S1 Coupe many moons ago Around Christmas 1977
They weren't anywhere near as valuable back then though.

How about a '62 Lightweight?

A mere snip at £349,950

Yesterday I saw ' Chasing classic cars' (Wayne Carini) and saw a BMW Veritas. Probably the biggest BMW ever made.

Very interesting.
I'd not heard of that before, and a bit of googling suggests it's the only one in existence, and apparently a Veritas re-bodied by a company called Spohn.

Thanks for posting.

Is This The Lost 1949 Veritas?

A while ago I was cycling along the river when I saw this huge Mercedes like car standing at the side of the road with a uniformed driver waiting in the drivers seat. A Maybach 62(S).
It was near a restaurant, so I guessed the passenger was having a (business) dinner.
The car was probably too long to fit on the parking lot. Quite impressive in real life.

Well, it's certainly too long to fit on this page!

Overall length of 243 inches..... that's just about the same length as my extended cab long box diesel Chevy truck.

Is that a jet engine exhaust in the back? It looks like it is ready to fly instead of drive.

That Volkswagen Type 181 had a sort of 4 wheel drive two stroke older cousin, the DKW Munga.Invalid Link Removed




Audi later used the 4 wheel differential of the Munga for their Quattro.

There's also a 4x4 version of the Citroën 2CV, called 'Sahara'.

It had 2 engines, one in the front and one in the back. Connected with rods trough the gear box.

The Citroën Méhari is a 2CV based buggy like car.

Happened just the other day here, right into the place I don't buy gas any more. Except I don't think the 81-year old lady driver ever had the benefit of GTA training...

Noting that the thread title is for ICONIC vehicles....not just odd ones....

I would consider the Citroen 2CV an iconic vehicle of France. The others above, not much.
