W-409 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Today I saw this very clean Volvo Duett parked in side of the road. I found a parking place nearby as well, so I was able to go and take a picture of it. It was like new. I also saw a Volvo Amazon STW from the early '60s and a very clean '76 Dodge Coronet STW. But I didn't have a camera on hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Today I saw a clean two door Chevy Caprice Classic. The four door models, or especially Wagons are not very rare around here, except for the ones that are in very good condition. But these two door models are very rare around here. I can't even remember the last time I saw one of these 2D models in traffic or in a Cruising Night, it was several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are 4 doors that are still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exterior looks far to nice and looking at the widened wheels I think there might just be enough under the hood to make a little smoke.

carrucha Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Last week I was driving home in my 2014 Chevy Impala when I see up ahead a 1958 Chevy Impala coupe in the lane next to me. It took a few minutes to catch up and pull along side the 1958 Impala. I wanted to see the current generation Impala next to the first Impala. Pretty cool!

1930fordpickup Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Looks like an early 60's Buick to me. 1962 I think just not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I just walked past and took a few photos of a current generation Corvette Grand sport. Is all shiny with a white body , blue center stripe and of course the red Grand sport markings. Really is a striking design IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYLIBUD Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I agree with you,that Granada looks pretty cool,as far as Granadas go..The tires look good,and it appears to have dual exhaust.Drop a 5.0 in that car,and you have the perfect sleeper.I saw a Granada once being sold at Barrett Jackson.It had a factory V8,and a very rare four speed.From what I remember,the car sold for a lot of $$.

There are a lot of (or at least, not rare) very high end cars - Maseratis, GT-Rs, Mercedes up the ying yang, a fake Chinese version of the Cayenne, etc...very, very few older cars. My unscientific analysis shows 90% of cars are less than 10 years old...and the horns work on all of them.

I saw a Ford Fairmont a couple of years ago that was done in the same manor in a light beige color. The owner of the body shop that I was talking to at the time said he knew the owner well and I had a Ford 347 cu in engine. You know what one of the small block Fords sound like with a lumpy cam and Flow Master 40s. That is what I noticed. I love cars like this, keep'em guessing.
