Classic car photos
So this morning I was at Alice's Restaurant in Woodside, CA, and after a while various interesting classic cars, motorcycles and sport cars started showing up. I took a lot of photos so I will divide them up into three threads. Here are the classic cars. The first one is a Stuz 32. I had heard of their Bearcat, but I had no idea they made this huge touring sedan. I sure wouldn't want to try to turn the engine over with a crank. [:0]

Check out this absolutely mint Ferrari Dino 308 GT4. It looked like it just came out of the factory. Not a scratch on the paint and the interior was perfect with no sign of any wear. The owner must have spent a fortune to restore the car to this condition. Does anyone know what year it might be. I think that wedge styling must date it to the early 1970's. ???

Attached are photos of a new Arel Atom 3 vehicle (is it a car?) that was parked across from Alice's Restaurant. It must be new because it has a paper license plate which the dealer gives you when you buy the vehicle so that you can be billed for crossing Bay Area bridges and freeway toll lanes. Eventually a real metal license plate will arrive - hopefully in your mail box and not in someone else's.

I just noticed that the paper plates on the Atom were issued in 2018. I wonder if that paper plate is on the car because the owner didn't want anyone to see the actual license plate - like the cops? 
I looked up the Atom 3 on Wikipedia and this is what it said: The Atom 3 appeared in 2007, utilizing the Honda Civic drivetrain.

Here are some photos of the neat Morgan-clone Aero Moto Guzzi-powered kit cycle car that I saw at Alice's Restaurant last Sunday morning. The owner said that he built it in 2017 from a kit. Looks really nice, but it was very cold that morning and the owner said that he was just about frozen by the time he reached the Restaurant. Definitely no heater in that car.

Here is a really mint-condition 1956 Austin-Healey 100M 4-cylinder, 2.7 liter high performance engine. The owner said that it was a special model that was only sold for three years. After that the typical A-H straight 6 was introduced, which had less horsepower than this 4-cylinder version.

Today at Alice's Restaurant was a mint condition Sunbeam Tiger in the parking lot. I'll let you figure out what year it is. Checking out Wikipedia, it looks like that car is a Mark 1 Sunbeam Tiger. The Mark 1 was built between 1964 and 1967 and was powered by the 260ci Ford engine. The Mark 2 Tiger had slightly different bodywork and was powered by the Ford 289.

Maxwell Smart in the 1960's TV show drove several Sunbeam Tigers during the series but for the majority of the series it was either:

- an actual V8 Sunbeam Tiger (that was eventually acquired by Don Adams after the series finished)
- a 4 cylinder Sunbeam Alpine painted to LOOK LIKE a Tiger for special effects scenes which required more space in the engine bay for machine guns, rockets and so forth like this one.
My son-in-law sent me this photo of a John Deere Gator. He was given a tour of a friend's ranch yesterday on the utility vehicle. It looks like it could go just about anywhere.
