Damn. Those hoods sure look like old timey Aston Marins. DB1/DB2 perhaps?


Nah. That would be too easy....... :(

I've no clue as to what they are, only when they are...given the lack of chrome bumpers (replaced by what looks to be "modern plastics"), I'm thinking they're something newer, maybe even contemporary....

or not.

I wonder why they didn't sell with a name like that eh? Meeting up with the guys for a beer and they ask "so what kind of car did you?" "Ummm ... its a Shirely"   :D

It's all about the sell. You never, ever say "Ummm... it's a Shirley." You say things like "Me and ol' Shirley really tore up the streets last night." or "I drove Shirley for nearly three hours on Saturday and I've got the chafing to prove it!" or "Gawd, I really rode Shirley hard the other day. I'm still smilin'."

It's all the sizzle.

Until they see what Shirley actually is.  Then you're on your own.
