What did you see on the road today?

[Rocketman455]

Close to a local dinner in my town.

[Tabbysdaddy]

Rotisserie Bronco. Yum.

[Earl Marischal]

At my local garage when I took my Pug in for its MOT this morning. Pity it’s a slush box…

Still miss my old Saabs.

Not seen one of these before.

Saw a VinFast VF 8 on the road today. It's an electric SUV made in Vietnam. This photo is from Google, the one I saw was like this but white in color. According to Google they just became available in the US on March 1.

Really nice Isetta on the back of a big flatbed tow truck. Seems like they probably just loaded it into the back of a pickup!

That's a 72 Montego.  The only year of that generation that didn't have a giant front bumper.

Charles Bronson drove a blue one in "The Mechanic."

I had to wait an hour and a half to take this picture. The backup was so bad I missed the funeral I was going to, but not the after-party.... -RRR

ok, maybe not on the road.  but this buzzed my house on its way to land at the Long Beach Airport maybe a hour ago.  im no plane expert but i think its a C-47 (?) but i could easily be wrong. 

i should have run in the house and grabbed my camera instead of just using my phone.

 

 

Yup, a C-47 alright.  I logged some miles in one when pulling courier duty in the "60s.

Just another day in Florida.

[RSchnell]

This '53 Buick hardtop snuck into my neighborhood. With PA tags, he's a long way from home! 

[Earl Marischal]

In a local garage. My spannerman said they were rotboxes

I have a good friend that has three of these (two coupes and a convertible).  He's on the hunt for an SRT model.

[sfhess]

A 63 Pontiac Catalina 2-door hardtop survivor car.  He was moving pretty well on the freeway.  My friend and I gave him thumbs up and he returned the favor as we were in my friend's 68 Cougar XR7-G.

Yesterday morning, southbound on the Golden Gate Bridge.  Maybe not this particular one but...this one.  With the eye searing color and the cartoon logos.

My wife said "what the heck is that" causing me to launch into some of the idiosyncrasies of Citroen 2CV's.  "Yes, dear, about 1/10th the size of my Mustang's engine and yes it likely was maxed out at 65mph, downhill."

Older Porsche 928.  Don’t remember the last time I saw one of these running around.  I always liked these, and this one looks pretty clean.

[Suburban_Hooligan]

these are actually form yesterday.  C1 Vette and a neat looking mini truck

Well, it WAS being carefully driven with no quick steering inputs.  I thought he was just "showboating".

Saw this in St.Leon Indiana, on my way to Lawreceburg for a sprint car race Saturday night. 51 or 52 Dodge Business Coupe Convertible. Restored, but not overdone. Original paint color, flathead 6 with dual Stromberg's. Factory no back seat. Neat car.

56 Buick 4-door hardtop and a 71 Impala 2-door hardtop.

Don't have a spare and need one for your truck? No worries, just bolt a tractor wheel on and get on down the road! It's the right rear, and none of the 4 wheels matched!

I saw a red lamborghini convertible today. Not sure what model it was but it had a italian flag stripe along the door bottoms and black wheels. But I dont have my camera with me but i'm sure you all know what a lamborghini looks like. I also saw something much more interesting to me, and I'm sure its something that many people dont even know exists. I found a pic of this one on the net but the one i saw was green. Its a reliant kitten pick up and while many sites say its a custom build its not, just standard production pick up that was not very popular.
