Sophia Loren Rockin' The 1955 Mercedes SL Gullwing

Rockin' Her 1955 300SL Mercedes-Benz SL Gullwing

Some things in this world are unequivocal, and Sophia Loren posing with the Mercedes-Benz SL Gullwing in 1955 is certainly one of them. Mama Mia!!! Sophia Loren is probably the most exotically beautiful woman that has ever lived, and in the late 1950 she owned and drove a Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing which she posed with quite a bit, as you can see in the following photos.

They say that people look like their dogs, and the same is likely true about cars. In other words, people choose cars that reflect their  personality and sense of aesthetics. I don't know of any other female who so accurately chose a car that reflected their aesthetic and personality so much as Sophia Loren and her Gullwing 300SL. Why? When the Gullwing doors are in the up and open position, they look like Sophia's exotic eyebrows. Both Sophia and the Gullwing have stunning curves, and both are completely timeless, exotic and highly chic.
















Speaking of Sophia Loren and the Mercedes SL, I thought I would share this image of Sophia with Gregory Peck taken in 1966 in a Mercedes SL...

Miles Davis was a fascinating man and a brilliant musician. He was also a sports car fanatic. In the future I plan to cover much more of his Ferrari collection, but in the meantime, this should get you going.

1st Corvette Stingray Auctioned for $1.1 Million Barrett Jackson Auction House

Barrett Jackson Auction House

Barret Jackson Auction House successfully sold the first production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for $1.1 Million and all the funds went to charity. Drew Phillips from AOL took this photo and I have to say this photo makes me feel strange. Why? Because it looks so cool. 

I think Chevy did a very poor job of showcasing the Corvette Stingray at introduction. They talked a lot about how great it looked, but the publicity shots were not that great. This image, from this angle looks insanely cool!!!

Chevy Introduces The All-New 2014 Corvette Stingray


The Return of The Stingray

Chevy Introduces The All-New
2014 Corvette Stingray

Last  week we took a look at Steve McQueen and the original Corvette Stingray which was introduced in 1965, and today, Chevy introduced the all-new Corvette and they brought back the Stingray designation. Below is a photo of the original Stingray from 1965 with the all-new 2014 Stingray.









7 Generations Of Corvette

The image below showcases the 7 generations of Corvette. How do I feel about the all-new Corvette? I have mixed emotions. It looks really beautiful, but it seems to be missing something? It kind of has too much of an eighties Trans-Am/Firebird look, or something?  Methinks the A Pillar being painted black is throwing me off. In all fairness, I am reserving all judgment until I have had a chance to drive and see one in person.
