Nice original at Washington DC Auto Show
Walking the show on yesterday’s preview day I came across a simple display announcing HVA. What peaked my interest was the covered car in the corner.
I pick up some literature and learned HVA is the Historic Vehicle Association (Historic Vehicle Association) which is committed to preserving the future of our automotive past. OK, great cause, so what’s under the cover and… wait… is that Peter Brock? The rest was a blur right up until the cover comes off none other than the long lost Daytona Coupe C$X2287. WOW! This Daytona Coupe is the very first car to be included in the permanent archives of the Library of Congress and the very first car to achieve National Heritage status. Talk about a pleasant surprise. It’s on display through February 2nd. http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...122_133042.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...122_133324.jpg |
This Car Matters

That's Dr. Simeone's Daytona. Haven't been down by the airport in over a year to see him. If anyone doesn't know look up the history, one of the most interesting histories that I know about. In fact I'm sure that I can add a little to the history if I dig up my travel logs in the late 70's early 80's. Such a tragic death of Mrs. O'Hara when she burned herself and took well over10 hours to die.
This one and Soprano's Coupe are the only two that got away. Soprano didn't take me seriously and had a paper on the cobra of don't even ask if it's for sale. Shortly after it was bought by Stauffer. |
