I want that new Goldwing!!!! 1800cc 6 cyl, w/ cruise!!!

Thanks for posting link to photos, I'd give best of show to the Audi Race Car.

On page 4,is that tile on the floor or is the floor transparent showing those parts?
Also,all those interiors show the steering wheels are on the wrong side.

That was a transparent floor on the Holden stand hugh with parts mounted underneath.

I can picture these seats in my car. What company made them? For what car? These are cool.

Thats the front seats out of a Mazda RX8 Dave. Pretty retro looking ain't it.

I love the old M-B Gullwings. I know the guy that owns Ella Fitzgerald's red one. Because her eyesight was failing, she hadn't driven the car for 12 years before her death. He bought it through her estate for $55,000. All he did was clean it up when he got it and it looks like it had been kept in a "baggie" for all those years. God knows what the thing's worth now. She also had a 1957 snow white 300SC in the same mint condition!

Gorgeous piece of machinery, that Gullwing. Why was it at a "new car" show, though?

I think Merc Benz just had the gullwing there to fill up space Doni. They had a lot of floorspace. Then again. Come to think of it they take it there every year. Maybe they should go retro on us and make a 2002 version based on that shape with some modern touches. I am sure it would sell.

The car shows here in Florida are never that cool. And get out of here with Ford's bad self!

Jim--Any chance those seats are actually available? Or are they just auto show only? I'll try calling one of the local Mazda dealerships today.

Doni--As much as a half million bucks if they're perfect and completely original. Kruse sold one at their ACD auction a few years ago (with some history--can't remember which celebrity owned it) for something like $496,000USD. I love alternate doors, but not that much.

I think they was auto show only MM. But then again being a left hand drive configuration they may have come to fruition in the USA.

You bet they would. BMW did something along those "retro" lines with the redesign of their 502 convertible coupe from the 50's (The James Bond Car.) The waiting list was a year behind production and the car completely sold out at 150-175K, I think.

I second that!
