The Jay Leno Car Award will again be one of the gongs up for grabs and
will be awarded by Swede Per Blixt, who looks after the US TV host's
large collection of classic cars and motorcycles in Burbank, California.
Interesting factoid!
And reminds me that I need to surf over to Jay Leno's garage
sometime soon.

"Classic" American cars are a hot item also in Japan.
And my brother told me about seeing some German dock workers
becoming "visibly excited" while off-loading a Corvette in Hamburg.
That was about 25 years ago. LOL! I should have said "West German"
dock workers.

In fact, American classic cars seem attractive to people in most parts of the world.
Some years ago, I had this Italian girlfriend in Rome. Close to her apartment, neighboring a discount grocery store where we sometimes shopped for food (not too often though - we’re talking one of the most quality concerned corners of the earth when it comes to food), there was this magnificent, mint condition Mustang always peeking out of a Roman garage. I’ll forget that Italian beauty before I forget that beautiful car..
