the last of the Victorian are buildings in San Fran I suppose, but as a horse drawn fire pumper station building it's amazing. Not a very good job at keeping the building look the same consistancy in the day and night image (it's a painting not a real building)
Buddy Hackett's car parts art from pieces of his Edsel
the first image of Herbie. Ever.
the cars in the background. Cool.
A challenge to a drag race from a hippie kid in a T bucket
Bitchin Rolls Royce
This is interesting as an example of the mid to late 60's hippe art, and the two characters below, they're in the model A, I bet there is a reason they look so damn goofy, and I believe the guy on the left side is Benny Hill

above 2 images from http://www.caughtonset.com/robert-downey-jr-mark-ruffalo-avengers/ which has incredible coverage of movie stars during the movie making process
below 2 photos I took at SEMA 2012
below infographic is from http://collider.com/avengers-movie-tony-stark-car-images/140630/ because the Sundance Film Festival was a location for marketing of the Avengers movie, and the car and the info were found by Collider.com who lists the info in text on the previous link, instead of you trying to read all the super spy/ high tech gadgets of the below photo. Some of the gizmos are a palm-scan ID steering wheel, enviro-clone projected hologram of surroundings, self-detonating recon drone, night-vision HUD windshield etc etc . Good closeups of the car at the Collider link as well
Similar thoughts about the Iron Man cars had me look to see if they are online somewhere, and I found that About.com has a full listing and some information about the cars in Tony Starks garage. Like the 32 roadster is actually Jon Favreau's. http://exoticcars.about.com/od/famousfilmcars/tp/IronMan2.htm who compared the cars in the garage in Iron Man one to Iron Man 2 and let us know that the Saleen and the Tesla didn't make it to the second movie.

Facel Vega was a French builder of luxury cars. Their advertising slogan was "For the Few Who Own the Finest". French design with American drivetrains that peaked at 392 cu in hemi engines and a 727 Torqueflite in the Facel Vega II of 1961.
Owners include Pablo Picasso, Ava Gardner, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine, Stirling Moss, Tony Curtis, and several Saudi princes. Race-car driver Stirling Moss would drive his HK500 from event to event rather than fly.
