  1. It reminds me my childhood 🙂 …

    However Jay please … I do understand the spelling differences between English and Italian .. however the word LANCIA is correct spelled (in English) as "LANTCHA" 😉 in order to have the exact same sound than italian 🙂

  2. The side marker lights are direction indicators. This is to be possible to see the intention of the driver to change direction, if you are sideways to the car … The current design,still have the side direction lights but put in the front .. ti's the same orange lamp put in the front, but extended to the side. And today you have also the direction lights put on the external mirrors (now a days is mandatory to have 2 mirrors) thus it still fully visible to the ones are sideways to the car (other cars, or motorcycles or bicycles etc)

  3. How hard would it be to pronounce the name of the car correctly? People, it's pronounced Lon-cha…not Lan-cee-ah. Come on Jay, do you call them Eye-ta-yon cars?

  4. There was really rare Appia Spyder here in Maine for decades. In the '80s I got to detail it and steal a Polaroid picture of from it's map pocket. Couldn't help it! Still have it. You guys truley have a refined taste in cars in Leno-land.

  5. My Diesel Bullet ran for 200,000 km before I did an overhaul (even though it wasn't required), improved the performance and it's still running. 4,500 km in 3 months. 40 years and how many miles? If you don't run a car obviously it will stay there.
