Somebody had an in with Dodge when this car was ordered. First off, it's a 440 Magnum Shaker car. Ultra rare for a 70 Challenger R/T. Second - the Bumblebee stripe is not Rallye Red. It's Scorch Red. One of a kind.

Anyone ever see the horror movie THE CAR? That's what this one reminds me of.

Not every aircraft design is a winner. Here is the Saunders Roe SR.A/1. It's a jet fighter launched from the water.

Ok, I had to look it up to hear it.

There's a few others out there as well.

Saunders-Roe SR.A/1

Quote:

The Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 was a prototype flying boat fighter aircraft designed and built by British seaplane manufacturer Saunders-Roe. It was the first jet-propelled water-based aircraft in the world.[1]

The concept behind the SR.A/1 originated during the Second World War as a reaction to Japan's successful use of military floatplanes and the emergence of the turbojet engine. Saunders-Roe presented an initial proposal of their jet-powered seaplane concept, then designated SR.44, to the Air Ministry during mid-1943. In April 1944, the Ministry issued Specification E.6/44 for the type and supported its development with a contract for three prototypes. Development was protracted by Saunders-Roe's work on other projects, the war having ended prior to any of the prototypes being completed.

On 16 July 1947, the first prototype made its maiden flight. The SR.A/1 was evaluated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), who concluded that the design was incapable of matching up to the performance of land-based designs. Despite interest from foreign governments, including the United States, no orders for the SR.A/1 materialised. As such, it never entered volume production or saw service with any operators. While interest in the SR.A/1 programme was briefly revived following the start of the Korean War, the aircraft was considered to be obsolete by that point and was again rejected.

21,513 1963 Corvettes were made. Only 318 had backup lamps. Would anyone know why this is such a low number? People felt they didn't need them?
