Love that car.
As beautiful today as it was 58 years ago. Quite a design accomplishment.

There is a white one that I see from time to time at our building. I can’t believe how tiny it is compared to a ‘modern’ car. Absolutely beautiful car and wonderful to see it driven other than just sitting in a protected bubble somewhere.

Dave, where are you located?

Burlington MA, I kinda know the owner. Quite the collector, old 356C’s split window vette’s etc. Bought the gulfwing from a guy that had it sitting in his living room for 11 years as a piece of art. Red interior, just wonderful. I used to work for a guy who would drive his ‘73 daytona to work more or less daily. We all thought he was crazy.
