Matador X... at Coronado, how'd that slip past the car snobs?






http://www.javelinamx.com/JavHome/articles/matx-rt.htm for a Motor Trend evaluation of the Matador when it was released

These photos reflect the Southern California feeling, convertibles and sports cars, and custom trucks.






Stuff that caught my eye at Coronado's annual car show



42 Hp... that's cute


Nice prop to have in your car!






I've been looking for this car with the hubcap airfilter housing... way cool modification!

The Chevrolet dealership that sponsored the show had rockstar parking for their Camaros.


I doubt we'll see another tach like this...
Airguide made gauges for boats and yachts, You can buy NOS ones here: http://www.classicboatwork.com/classicparts/gauges/airguide/airguide.html




The above speedometer is in a Buick LeSabre, and what you are actually looking at is a mirror that has an adjustment to the angle for people of different height. A technical innovation to keep all the instruments in the lower area of the dash in order to repair them easily. Damn nice design feature, and unique too!
