Lime Rock's "Sunday in the Park" was amazing.  Don't miss it next year.  You can get as close to the cars as you like and everyone (I hope) respects this privilege. 

 

I did see a restored Ferrari with a "theft deterrent" I never thought of before.  It might slow down the average thief but I think a well educated crook might figure it out.  

 

Ever driven an old Chevy wagon and been the first car in line waiting for the traffic light to turn green?  I was told this was a factory option that solved the neck breaking strain to see the light.

 

Photos attached.

Lime Rock was great again as usual, little "Gerta" was accepted into the Sunday in the Park Concours show, which was why she wasn't parked over by the other 2002s...

 

I think most people missed her as our class was all the way at the end of the main straight.

 

Anyway, to our surprise, she took 2nd in class! We got a nice trophy and had a great time.

 

Our class was interesting:

 

19. “Form Follows Function,” practical perfection, commercial and practical vehicles 1955 to 1985

 

Some great looking vehicles, but the judge said the originality and documentation we had helped us a lot.
 
If you haven't gone, definitely make it a must-do for next year!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
