Pick your favorite iconic car from any decade....

[roller]

IndyCars (regardless of they were under the CART, USAC or IndyCar governing body) looked the best in the early 90s, specifically 1993-1995. They were sleek, svelte and low. Today's IndyCars are too bulky/hefty for my tastes.

Here's Red 5 at at the top of the corkscrew in 1993, my favorite year of the sport, even though I was a Rahal fan.

Formula 1 cars looked great in the early 90s as well. Here's Schuey in the Jordan in '91... and yes, while it looks dangerous as heck by today's cocoon-ish standards, this car is sex on wheels...

To compare how things have changed over 28 years, the '91 Jordan over the '19 Mercedes.

I went to a three Long Beach GPs in the mid '80s. Great fun at that track and the races were great with the "kids" driving. I made lots of photographs of those races.

I was a kid and it pulled up to our local supermarket.
A midget guy, whom I recognized from TV, exited the big wiener mobile and handed out Oscar Meyer wiener whistles to all us kids and talked up a storm about the product.
As an 8 year old I was mighty impressed. It was funny seeing 20-30 kids blowing on mini wieners.

I was 12 years old when the Oscar Meyer wiener mobile came to my neighborhood. I brought my Oscar Meyer wiener whistle to school and had some perverse fun asking the girls in my class if they wanted to "blow my wiener whistle".

I saw one of them in a RI parking lot a few years ago. Lots of gawkers around, for sure.

Rick Dobbertin's 86 J2000. The car that started the Pro Street movement in the 80's.

I remember that car from a Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine. Rick worked as an exhaust man in NOVA (I think) and spent a large amount of hours just polishing the stainless steel pipes on that car.

I didn't realize that he started the Pro Street stuff.

Is that an original E-Type or a continuation model?

 

[Stan_da_man]

Original restored I believe.

Stunning, but if I had $18.7 million to spend, I would be pretty sure that only a percentage of it was devoted on a black car.

I just did buy a black car. Cost me .016% of that....I think. I hate math.
