Plymouth Prowler (with trailer!) up for auction
Missed your chance to leap on a Prowler 20 years ago? This one has just 100 miles on it...
Moreover, it's not every day that you get the chance to feature two Chip Foose-designed cars; the Prowler is one, as is our Delahaye Showpiece. It would appear Chip has a certain style...
Also, while we can't look at all the hundreds of cars going under the hammer in a few weeks, it's worth highlighting a few key lots. Specifically this, the 1948 Chevrolet school bus, now with a supercharged 5.8-litre V8, 'Hot Rod High School' emblazoned down the side, dual Edelbrock carbs and chrome wheels. Of course. It apparently took seven years to build and it has flames. Anything on four wheels with flames down the side deserves our attention.

Or simply an unusable ornament?
1933 triple cockpit V12 motorboat -- "You'll never catch me, Mr. Bond!"
2006 Ford GT with 2.3 miles -- More fun, I reckon, than the new-age V6 offered by Ford today
1973 Ferrari 365 -- Break out the orange polyester pants!
1954 Corvette -- I'd drive this from coast to coast
1959 VW 23-window bus -- "Surf's up, Dude."
Will people stop wanting cars that express some individuality, will manufactures suddenly stop trying to provide stuff the customers want to buy instead selling upturned buckets that can drive themselves, the answer is no, it will be an evolution of what you see now, that will have an option to drive itself when the technology and legislation is ready for it.
Look back 21 years from now, 1997, are things really that much worse ? I am sure we were expecting doom and gloom then but I dont think it has happened, a lot hark back to times gone by and really, were they that fantastic, or is the past a bit safer than the future and a bit more interesting than now ?
