I know it isn't one, but that reminds me a lot of the interior of the Humber Super Snipe that my grandmother had when I was very small. I remember thinking the name was hilarious.
Let's See Your Miscellaneous Car Photos

Fear not for it is a 1972 Rolls Silver Arrow that is pictured here with her owner Dave Seleen of Seleen Engineering, a retired race car driver and tool & die maker with some 60+ years of experience. He can sculpt a piece of metal into a work of art without any CNC or other nonsense and at almost 90 is still quite active in the shop.
The Rolls has been known to give many a diesel redneck a bad time and it drives like a dream.

That is a fine Seleen car, seemingly extras under the hood.
But it is not a Saleen car if that is what you were referring to.
Saleen cars are a dime-a-dozen, a Seleen car is one of a kind.
Sure - its not a Saleen Mustang, I get that, but I suspect a good mechanic maintains a car better than most.
Besides, nice to see a clean Rolls!

Has the two tone paint that Wheeler Dealers added to one they flipped.
Seleen Engineering where Dave Seleen owned the company and was a tool and die maker and the owner of the pictured RR is a different operation from Steve Saleen’s car manufacturing company.
With the turbo power should easily reach the RR HP spec of ‘Adequate.’

I always loved the 58. Way cooler that the "tri 5s" IMO
My mom had a 58 Sedan Deville we called the "greenie" as it looked like a booger.
Here's the real Cadillac
My ugliness... the 1981 Chevy diesel with a NP-435 trans/208 case. The red & white 68 next to it was my brothers with a W-motor under the hood.

Once upon a time every car my wife or I drove was British. Never had one break down. The only unreliable car is an unmaintained car in my experience.
1964 MGB 1959 English Ford Escort 1964 Hillman Super Minx 1988 Range Rover

We may need a land yacht thread.

Don’t know if there is enough dock space available for that.
Seeing that ride and images of the 70s cars in police, deceive shows rocking a few times as they come to a quick stop flash in my head.
That reminds me of just about everything domestic in the Perry Mason series run from '57 to '66 -- and they weren't coming to abrupt stops often, either. Those cars appeared to be floating. Depending on the sponsor, which was generally GM or Ford, they were driving some pretty nice vehicles.
Speaking of Land Yachts: 1967 Pontiac Bonneville 2 door hardtop my uncle owned. In today's world these are incredible to behold.
