    1988 Avanti (Based off of the 1963 Studebaker Avanti, Built on a Chevy Monte Carlo Chassis. Only 150 made that year.) Also an Audi RS7 Parked down the street from me. Oh yeah and your everyday Ferrari 308. And a Hindustan Husky. Sorry if the pics are abnormally large. Here is the website for the local car club and pics from all the car shows. http://twincitycruisers.weebly.com/ Some very interesting vehicles.

    I saw this at the Biltmore in the winery, and I knew I had to post this here. Also, here is some info: The Stevens-Duryea C-Six is the only vehicle that George Vanderbilt purchased remaining in the Biltmore collection, and is today an extremely rare model, believed to be one of only 10 still in existence.

    I have two... significantly rare cars I have seen today, and one that I never saw anywhere else.
    One was the Kona, which makes a bit more sense, since they did make an US Spec, and it is 2018. Also, it was in an Hyundai dealership, but it was my first time seeing it.
    The other one was a collection of Spitfire 1500s. I honestly see it a lot, but I never seen it anywhere else BUT the lot next to my school's parking lot. One seems to be fully salvaged, which is atleast something. I don't know the brand, but I definitely already knew the car by reading the model name on their hoods.
    EDIT:
    I also forgot to mention seeing an 2011 Nissan GT-R.

    I'd get it if you saw, say, a bunch of Vagabonds or Longchamps and did not know the names, but what gearhead does not know who made the Spitfire?
    It's one of the most iconic Cold War era sports cars, for god's sake!

    It didn't have the badge of the company, and I have no idea that was iconic at all.
    Well, it seems like I saw my first Triumph anyways. (I googled it, obviously.)

    Over the course of a week or two, I have seen 1 Evo, Too many WRX's and STI's, a first gen Acura NSX, Mk. 3 Supra, a dodge Stealth,a Mazdaspeed 3, and a Jeep truck, whatever the name of it is. Also an SRT 8 Jeep Grand Cherokee. And a Focus RS, Chevy SS, and a couple assorted old 1930's-70's vehicles. Pretty neato. There is probably one or two I missed. Also a scrapyard hear my house has an FC RX-7 just chillin' under a tarp.

    The truck might be an Comanche.
