Etceterini Update: Great Nardi 750 Crosley Video!

Following up on my post from last week, I'm excited to share this great video on a Crosley-powered Nardi 750 that was for sale not long ago.  I missed this when it was first posted, but H-mod fanatic Richard Campbell pointed it out when he saw my etceterini post.

Etceterini on my Mind

I've been reading an old Fawcett book on the "new" European sports cars (Sports Car Album by John Freeman, 1953) that really delivers a feel for the era -- a time when neither Mercedes Benz nor Ferrari were household names in the US, and the Corvette was still just a show car. The book is loaded with photos, and the author visited all of the major factories and many smaller marques. It's well worth picking up if you like that sorta stuff.

The fifties is my favorite era for sports cars, and the early part of the decade probably produced my favorite designs over all. I'm a sucker for low slung slipstream-bodied cars with skinny tires and a driver sporting a necktie.
