 Vintage Triumph TR3 makes its way along a winding road lined with palms past giant prehistoric beasts.

The beautiful classic Triumph TR3 was produced from 1955 to 1962 in Coventry, England by the Triumph Motor Company. The TR3 came outfitted with an inline four cylinder engine mated to a four speed manual transmission. Output was around 100 horsepower.

Approximately 58,000 of these cars were made and examples can still be found on the streets and race tracks today. 

Originally selling for $1200 USD a TR3 can be had for $6000 or so for a restorable car to $30,000 or more for a car in very nice shape.

The image by George Cosmos Wagner is available as a limited edition 24x16 canvas gallery wrap. Each print is signed by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Open edition prints are also available.

Remember That Time We Got Chased By a UFO

 Remember That Time We Got Chased By a UFO- Yeah, that was cool.

Now- do you remember those little cars? The Honda N600. The little 600cc air cooled machine made its American debut in 1970 priced at around $1500. They were small and light at less than ten feet long and 1300 pounds, and simple. The SOHC 600cc powerplant was a modified version of a Honda motorcycle engine. Most N600's were sold through Honda motorcycle dealers. 35,000 were sold in the States.

Honda replaced the N600 with the Civic in 1973 and a network of car dealers was established.
