On 7/22/12 in Barre, MA, I saw one of the weirdest cars ever. Really, It wasn't really a car but I am not sure what else it would be. It was basically a cross between a dune buggy, an ATV, and a golf cart. It was painted flat tan and was driving down the road. It had no roof. I think it was going about thirty miles per hour. The fenders were very indistinct. Oh, and one more thing. It had an ATV in the the little hollow space behind where the driver was sitting.
On 7/22/12 in Athol, MA, I saw a silver car parked in someone's law. But it wasn't just any silver car - it was a silver AC Cobra 427 with light grey racing stripes. It was missing it's bumpers and a few other parts, which leads me to believe that someone was restoring it. That also makes me think that it was an original Cobra, because I don't think that a replica would have been around long enough for it to need restoring. A few miles down the road from there, still in  Athol, I saw a Ford Model T roadster. It was black and had no rear fenders. It had grey trim and lots of chrome. I think that Model Ts make very good hot rods, especially in roadster form. Then I saw that it was leading a whole herd of cars. There was a 1967 Chevy Camaro hardtop. I like the 1967 hardtops but not the ragtops. I also think that the mid 70s Camaros are very ugly and I think the new ones are too but the 1967 hardtops are nice, I think.

On 7/21/12 across the road from the Hannaford in North Brookfield, MA at the bottom or a little hill next to a brick building I saw a green Ford Model T truck from the 1920s. The green Ford Model T truck from the 1920s that I saw at the 2012 Old Sturbridge Village car show. Or at least I think that it was the same one. I think it was the same one because the body looks exactly the same and the owner of it at the car show said that he lived in North Brookfield. And I think that the truck lived at that brick building because when I drove by there two days later the truck was still there. I am going to look for it there when I drive by other times.

On 7/21/12 a few hundred feet from Tip Top Market in Brookfield, MA driving down the road I saw one of the most rare cars ever. In the whole world. Any Guesses? Anyone? It was a orange 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray hardtop. That was the one that had a split rear window. It was the first production stingray and it was the only year that had the split rear window. It could go from 0-60 MPH in 5.4 seconds nad it had a top speed of 152 MPH. It is one of my favorite Corvettes ever.

On 6/11/12 I went to a car show at Klems in Spencer, MA. It was supposed to be 1950s cars but there were lots of other ones. One of my favorites was a red 1975 Corvette Stingray. It had a T-top roof and a huge engine. There was hardly any trunk space because there was a big hollow section under the tail. It was for sale. There was also a black 1964 Corvette Sting Ray. There was a bright yellow heavily customized Ford Model T. It had a black ragtop. The back wheels were four times as wide as the front ones, which were as big as normal modern car tires. It had a big V8 engine and had twin four-in-one collector pipes that ran on the sides below the doors and let the exhaust right before the rear tires. it had two seats. I will try to post my pictures from that car show soon.

On 7/6/12 in Rutland, MA, I saw a AC Cobra 427 . I LOVE Cobras. They were made when a car company called AC teamed up with Carroll Shelby, a race car driver from Texas. Ford supplied the engine because GM didn't want to help the development of a car that could compete with the Corvette. The 427 was the most powerful original one. The one I saw was green and had a small roll cage over the driver seat.
On 7/6/12 in Templeton, MA by the side of the road I saw a Corvette Stingray three. It was purple. Here is a link to an article about it: 1992 Stingray III I think that the Stingray III is a very cool car. There aren't many cars that can go 225 mph, and even fewer ones that are from before the year 2000.
