453 squadron

Yep, Brewster Buffalos, indeed. I recognized them at first sight.
Unfortunately for that squadron, not even remotely close one of the best fighter planes the US produced during WWII. But, fortunately, squadron 453 was later reformed in the UK and equipt with the far superior British Supermarine Spitfires. :)

Boring as heck to most, but, this history still fascinates/interests me...!!! :geek:

What year was that one. My first new car had almost the same body style. Not a Chevy, but, 1970 Buick Skylark, 350 ci. Gold with a white vinyl top. Like below but with the white top. Didn't have the bent bumper though. I got 110K out of it and for that time, located in the winter wonderland of Vermont, that was not bad. Rust got to it before anything mechanical started to show up. I bought it right after I got home from Vietnam, dated my future wife in it, took it on our honeymoon, brought our first and second child home from the hospital in it. We always thought we should get it bronzed and placed on our mantle, except we didn't have a mantle at the time. Finally traded it in in 1977, wish I had kept it, I loved that car.

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but, it's either a '70, '71, or '72 model.

The '68 and '69 models looked like this...

The '70-'72 models looked like the one @Mr Ferret 88 posted...

Then, in '73, they gave the design a complete overhaul to this...

Indeed, thanks for posting those!!! SWEET!!!!!!! :joyfull:




Except, that last car is actually an Audi...! ;)
Yup, that one wiped the hell out of all the tuned up Mustangs in the race..
Mostly because the track (thanks to the wind) had a lot of dirt, and the Audi has traction all 4 tires.

Ironically, the guy who owned it was a young dude who played in a popular soccer team. He seems to like to show up his Audi.

Also, while the club is for Mustangs, other teams and groups were in the gathering too. Including some classic ones.. And some guys with.. well.. generic cheap Hondas tagging along. :hilarious:
