Getting right to it-

Gogomobile, apparently raced by Walter Cronkite

75% of all Momo Mirage production, and a wooden mock-up in the background

Two very recognizable asses

This is a bike. It’s red and has two wheels

Here are more bikes. Some are red and others aren’t

This is the only time in which I couldn’t give a shit about a 4C

Yep. This was here.

As was this.

Some commoners showed up to crash the party with their pedestrian 300SLs

I have an unhealthy obsession with these.

The very sensibly named Nissan Cedric.

I like every part of this

MOTHER FUCKING BATTLEBIRD

This is not an Alfa Spider

I love this picture.

A Sensuale Spyder. I can find virtually nothing about this car, but it looked surprisingly well made for a garage-built special. That’s a Huayra next to it, naturally.

I think this is one of the Aspens Volares that Chrysler would sell you a kit for back in the 70s.

This is that 288 Racecar that someone posted the other day. (It’s sadly not real)

Want

I’m determined to get one of these as my next car. Fuck common sense.

Lovely 242, driven by an equally lovely lady

And literally the only shot with my finger in it, and it’s this rad A310.

I skipped the ridiculously large Porsche section of the show because A) I was dying of heat stroke, and B) I couldn’t be bothered anyway.

God fucking damn you, I literally just hit publish after building my own post for 15 minutes, only to find that you posted this.

If it’s any consolation, I only took pictures of the wacky cars that appealed to me.

We took pictures of largely the same things :(

I have a 1958 or 59 issue of Foreign Car Guide that covers the racing of import cars that year. I believe an NSU won the micro car class, but Volvos and SAABs did well in the larger classes too. I’ll see if I can find where I’ve stashed it.

Edit: here’s an NSU ad that gives some idea of how wacky/amazing this race was:
