Back in the 1970s when I had the 1952 Silver Streak trailer, I wanted to buy this old couple's jet-black 1954 Hudson Hornet 4-door (with the Twin-H manifold.) I bowed out when they said someone had offered $1000.

The 1935 Hoffman is kawaii, but can it be called the only automotive X-8 when it never made production? Henry Ford wanted his flathead V-8 to be an X-8 in the 1920s:
