And this Mercedes-Ben S with 6.8 liter supercharged six. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need.

In 1966 a friend of mine was the first kid on our block to get one of these beasts. No matter where he parked it, crowds of teenage guys would form, and who could blame them. I still consider these to be the second best looking Vette ever. The very best is of course the 1962 (Route 66) model. Frank really enjoyed that Vette for about 7 months until his lack of skill caught up with, and overtook his testosterone level.

Loosely based on an early Corvette, this car is 100% hand-made. The hand-formed aluminum body is perfect, and it has a V-12 under the hood.
