At a car show today and I came across these two beauty's....






Not sure if you guys can see which cars these are so I'll leave it to you to guess!

Also check out this car, I bet none of you know what car it is...

Damn haha well never mind then I'm obviously to young haha, I ne'er said it has anything to do with a CL if you feel like you really have to send a mod a PM and get them to move it.
I just thought it was cool and you guys would appreciate the honda's

I took a interest in this the other day.
Not that I would buy it but I had a thought of getting a j32 in there and staying with a (custom) rwd drivetrain would be cool.
And specially it's a drop top.
I know,I know, I have a colorful imagination.

Shoofin has handled the modding part here, so I will only add:

THANK YOU OP for these pics. The S800 coupe is sexy. I WANT ONE.

Here's a video of a working S800. I WANT ONE! It sounds just like my S2000, its grandson.

Here's hoping Honda doesn't wait another 30 years to make another S series car!

Nice. And I thought that the Japanese had stole their ideas from the Italians. Form the looks of these lines and the dates on the Honda S500, it looks to be the other way around.

You can but they are very hard to find in the States. They only sold them in Japan and the ones who had them imported in the States are the OG Japanese Honda guys that had to make cold air intakes out of hollowed logs in the 1950's to make their a-tec's keep up with traffic.

As others have mentioned, it's a Bricklin. The Bricklin was made in Canada by Malcolm Bricklin, an automotive entrepreneur (many feel differently). If I recall correctly, around 2500 were made, starting with an AMC 360 V8, and then followed by a Ford 351. Those lovely gullwing doors weigh over a hundred pounds each (insert red text "lovely"). Eventually the public had enough of Mr. Bricklin's interpretation of a car, and he promptly skipped the country, owing the Canadian government about 23 million. Bricklin eventually redeemed himself by offering another stellar automotive gem to the American public. That lovely offering was the Yugo.

No problem. Since about the age of eight I've been cramming myself full of weird and fascinating (and a lot boring) automotive facts.

Great pictures of the S500 and S800, I've only seen a S600 and that was decades ago.
