Airplane stuff or not, I want to add to this thread. In 1974, I had a Mercury Capri, the German made version. A great looking sports car.
My summer only car is now a 2017 Miata GT, meteor grey mica with a tan interior, a go cart on steroids that rides and handles like it's on rails. Top down, socks off baby! It's also the biggest selling sports car in history, over one million sold world-wide.
Dana you're half right. The Miata styling is a cross between a Lotus AND an Austin Healy with a bullitt proof engine and perfectly balanced chassis/body.
