    Was the Talbot the recent rendition of the quintessential Talbot Lago, or was it an original?

    Nothing exciting to see today other than a couple of Maser Q's.

    If it's the real McCoy Talbot Lago, it's very rare. In recent years re-makes have been made and Continental was/is selling them. They're also very nice and not inexpensive.

    I think the yellow car photo above that was spotted at Sebring is called a: Deronda-I think Jay Leno has/had one with a V-8 engine in it.

    The "Talbot Lago" spotted appears to be a replica "Talbo" made by TLC. I think its powered by a Mustang engine.

    I see these every now and then.

    What are they ? They look like Missile launchers ? Is there a base around Chicago or a manufacturer ?

    Agreed, it doesn't appear to have Trafficators which the originals had.

    Looks like a Hemmet. They're made in the burbs as well as other places.

    Metallic orange Gallardo driving around Glenview at 4:10pm. It had some ridiculous rims that were silver and orange. They kind of looked like these:

    Ha!

    I used to drive these in the Army. Compared to the other vans/trucks, this one was a "sports" car. But don't try to break too hard or you will lift the rear end up.

    This particular one looks like it used to be a mobile radio station for a batallion HQ: It is the closed version with the sideways door where the radio operator(s) would get in and out. The big "pipe" behind the driver side door was the support for the antenna.
