And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A Fangio W196 streamliner sold for $53.9 million last year. The straight 8 engine is leaned over 53 degrees to keep the hood as low as possible. Al_in_Ottawa
Beautiful Silver Arrows.
ReplyDeleteMercedes preparing for the debut of the W196 at the 1954 French GP. Fangio would win in the No. 18.

Cool, great info about the engine.
DeleteMuch like the slant-6 in my 1968 Plymouth Valiant. So many other similarities as well - 4 wheels, steering wheel, exhaust. Uncanny.
