Random cars thread (pics)

Seen a couple of oddballs today which I snapped so thought I'd post them. Both at my employer's site today.

Here's a random car I came across years ago (hence the poor quality of the phone camera) to this day I still haven't got a clue what car it is.

Boat Tail Buick Riviera

Citroen DS is so cool. Even that example is 45 years old, but originates from 1955..

Staggering how futuristic it must have been when you consider it against the usual BMC offerings of the era

Nice - I love the AMG GT - whattacar. There's one parked at our local gastro-pub every so often. It seems massive compared to the E86.

I think that AMG GT would be much better if they took 12 inches out of the body between the front wheels and the fire wall.
The back end looks lardy for a performance car.
The front end seems more bent on paying homage to a corporate template than something inspiring.

Other than that, I guess someone will buy it.

Cheers Bumpy

Sure, why not. Wanna come over and help me look down the back of the sofa, pretty sure I dropped a couple of hundred grand down there last week....

Happy Birthday for whenever btw

Umm, I just like it, I don't wanna psycho-analyse it

That said, good luck finding any modern car, sports or otherwise, that isn't pandering to either a corporate template or, worse, the marketing department. Is it just me, or are most modern cars being marketed on how big the flippin' touch screen is these days? No mention of cylinders, bhp etc. Sad, sad times Bumpy.
