Stumbled Upon: Vintage 924S

To my US readers-- Happy Thanksgiving!  We had a wonderful holiday, good food, and cold but sunny weather, and lots of quality time spent with family and friends.  Typically we go on a long walk in the afternoon on Thanksgiving day.  Today was a charmer, in part because during our foray I spotted this:

It's a vintage Porsche 924S, which were made from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s.  It's not my favorite design the way the 911 is, but it's still unique, and that bright red paint really stands out.  Someone has taken pretty good care of this car.  The 924 was the first front-engined, water-cooled model mass production vehicle that Porsche ever developed.  It was also the first Porsche to come with an optional automatic transmission-- not a good thing in my opinion but it was inevitable.
