gtx6970 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hmmm...........I dunno. I thought I read somewhere that Chrysler's 1961 Imperial had Cadillac beat. If I'm not mistaken by a ½" or so............ Either which way, they're TREMENDOUS and the last of their kind! Oh my, that right there is drop dead gorgeous. I think this may be the color when I re-do my 61 Imperial builtup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Not sure if it was the real deal or a replica(tribute, or whatever wording you choose)...a red '70 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I believe this is a 63. When it pulled out in front of my, that's the date that popped into my head. When I got home and Googled, it seems my pea-brain was actually right. Besides this, I saw about 10 classics passing on the opposite of the interstate today. Sadly, I dare not test the ability of my car to jump a Jersey barrier. And right after, on my own side of the interstate, I got stuck in a parade of Harleys. About 300 of them. Literally.

Harry P. Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Saw a silver Cobra the other day. Not sure if it was real or a kit car, but it was cool in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrucha Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I was driving home from work last Friday and saw a 1959 Ford Galaxie hardtop. Yesterday I saw an all original 1956 Chevy Bel Air convertible. Pretty cool. I have never seen these cars in my area before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Just came back to Austin from Corpus Christi. Apparently there was a car show down there this weekend. There was a steady convoy of hotrods, lowered pickup trucks and muscle cars all the way up I-37. I didn't realize there were so many 32 Fords around. I was driving, so I didn't get pics, but some of them looked pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Saw this Friday leavin the yard. A very nice, 31 Ford, Flathead with Offenhauser heads. I heard there's a very clean Ford like the ZZ Top car around there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyEarle Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I saw an early 1950s Dodge with 2 ton wheels and a flatbed with racks. Had a pair of stacks behind the cab with flappers.

The '63 Corvair: Going by the chrome rings in the taillight lenses, it's a '64 - the '63 had a chrome blade with a bullet like the full-size cars did.

Joe Handley Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Saw a plain white Mary Kay Chevy Cruze today, with Mary Kay spelled out in chrome finished, stylized plastic lettering on the back bumper (centered over rear bumper) and on the front doors (raked downwards towards the front of the car?!)

Harry P. Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I saw not one, but two mid-60s Camaros within 5 minutes. First was an orange coupe, then a white convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnt671 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Not on a road, but along side of one. I had to wait due some road work last week leaving Tobyhanna Army Depot in PA so I got the chance to snap a few pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I was driving in Desoto County this afternoon, and got stuck behind a geezer in a black Mercedes. Right as I started to pass, I saw that the car had a personalized plate that read "KILLER2".That wormed around my brain-stem for a few seconds before I realize I'd blazed past Jerry Lee Lewis. I did get a look at the driver, and I am confident it was him. As soon as I realized who I'd passed, I tried to slow down to let him pass me, but traffic got thick. Oops. Would have been a great pic.
