"Wytheville, offers visitors a chance to return to the days when the Great Lakes to Florida Highway (Route 21) was the main route from Ohio to Florida. Memorabilia from the former gas station (built in 1926) is on display as well as restored gas pumps from that era."

Thank you Carl, we arrived back from Germany on 06/10/22 where we drove the German Alpine road which follows the Austrian border on the edge of the Alps. Three years ago we drove the Stelvio Pass but unless you go at sun up it is crowded with tour buses. Similar scenery to what you show except only a few miles into Austria there are glaciers. Keep the photos coming.

I know that the Avengers were VW based. What engine does this one have?
The HIWD thread shows a Buick 3.8. Blow thru turbo engine; carbed.

I'd like to give a big Shoutout to all the attendees for submitting their photos to the link that Jim posted - especially Andrew Ficalora for most of the individual car photos in the "Cars of Wytheville" section.
any details on the Rover 95?
