                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A number of years ago I did a SFX image of one of my 1/18 Chevrolet Impala coupes for my young nieces, who were fans of the TV series "Supernatural". The car diecast model used was an Ertl Authentics 2-door Impala coupe, although in the series, the stars actually drove an older 1967 white 4-door Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Later, I believe Greenlight did a fine 1/18 version of the white 4-door from the series, but this was already on my shelf ! Except for the 2 gentlemen standing behind the Impala and the guy up in the bell tower, all the photographs used in this image were taken here in Riverside, IL. The Chevrolet had a big and powerful V-8 engine, and it appears the guys may need that 8-cylinder zip to escape any possible issues, lol !  :wink:   :)  </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For what's it's worth.....   the <em>"expanded pics issues" </em> appears to be corrected but <em>viewing &amp; posting pics </em> isn't quite like it was.    Although not distorted in any way, they do appear smaller when viewed and <em>"spaced out" </em> when posting.     </p>
<p>Again....  for what it's worth.     Perhaps this is the new norm.  &#x1f914; &#x1f914; </p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>9 Mercedes-Benz 300SLRs were built between 1954 and 1955.  As 2 seat sports cars, they were based on the open wheeled W196 R but with a larger 3.0 liter fuel injected straight 8 producing 300 HP. 2 of the 9 were given gull wing coupe bodies known as the "Uhlenhaut" for the designer/engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut. The first 300 SLR, the famous #722, debuted with a win in the 1955 Mille Miglia sporting the Union Jack and driven by Sir Sterling Moss and Denis Jenkinson. Later that car would be fitted with a mechanical air brake for endurance races to help save brakes and tires.</strong></p>
