The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

A gas station sign so damn big, airplanes used it as a landmark. Photo taken in 1946

It was installed in 1932, it was 70 feet tall, with 5200 light bulbs, and 2900 hundred feet of neon tube. It was taken down in 1959.

1960 Scaglietti Corvette

Quote:

Shelby had other business ventures, including a sports car dealership in Dallas. He also shifted his obsession with taking down Ferrari into high gear during the late 1950s. He joined forces with Chevrolet dealers Jim Hall and Gary Laughlin to purchase three 1959 Corvette rolling chassis and shipped them to Scaglietti in Maranello, Italy. They came back with a gorgeous body made out of aluminum.

The 315 HP, fuel-injected V8 could have turned the Scaglietti Corvette into a Ferrari-taming beast on the track. General Motors canceled the project because it went against its policy of not sponsoring racing. Only three examples were made but the idea of using a big, American V8 to beat Ferrari had taken root inside Shelby’s mind. In hindsight, the Scaglietti Corvette laid the foundations the Cobra was built on.

In my opinion, muscle cars don't get much more better looking than that, wow.
