It takes someone in New Jersey to show me something that is less than 10 miles from my house.
They are definitely out of my price range though.

I wonder if I can sneak into their showroom. Mr. Green

Interesting notion, and one that has been done quite a few times before. The '57 lookalike I recently saw on something like the SEMA special. The zooming one I think they need to redo...it's looks like a current humdrum Jag from the rear, and like a Pontiac Solstice from the front.

They'd have done better to go with something along the lines of the Iso Grifos of the late '60's, early '70's. That was a Corvette frame done right with true Italian styling. I'd rather have an Iso Grifo or Bizzarrini (engineer for ISO) than most actual Ferraris.

Excellent footage of an Iso Grifo here:

You had to show an ISO Grifo,

Best of both worlds. I remember when I was a kid having a brand new Matchbox ISO Grifo in dark metallic blue. Even as a toy she was gorgeous.

May not be the first one I had but I've had this one since 1970. It's about as close as I'll get to owning one.
