...and this poor ol' Beaumont looks like it lost a rear wheel and ended up in the rhubarb...

I love those Canadian only cars. One of the delights of going into Canada as a car crazy kid.

I saw this old friend in the parking lot of our local Home Depot. Turned out the owner was the clerk that waited on me. Said it had been in the family since 1972. The only thing she's missing is a Greatful Dead sticker in the rear window.

Yesterday I was working and had no camera but a late 40 early 50 Ford pick up front wedded to a Ford van rear end in army green, Anyone in the Y-town area know of it's origins

That Olds is defo 60's.   Just not familiar with the way the Canadian models looked around the bumpers.  I'd say that Olds is a 66 Cutlass Coupe.  Classy cars back in the day.

I missed it again.  Just around the corner from where I live is a beautifully restored 60's Citroen DS in light green metallic, a beauty.  If the sun shines tomorrow I'm taking the camera down the hill and having a closer look.  It's a beauty.

It's actually a '66 Delta 88 with Buick wheels. What I was referring to was the accessory sidepipes...

Technically not "on the road" but I was out and about doing my weekend chores...   stopped to get a case of beer and these two signs were on the wall at the beer distributors.

Here are a couple of cars that I've spotted recently in here:

And just this week I heard a rumbling engine sound and saw a DC3 flying in the sky. You definitely won't see those every day!

1971 chevy puI saw this one in a deli parking lot in New Jersey on Sunday.  Nice 1969-70 era stepside I wouldn't mind having!  I saw it start up and drive away, nice little rumble!

I saw this healthy-sounding '67 Valiant this week. It was in a very good condition, a nice one!

And last weekend at a local Burger-Restaurant I saw this legendary Finnish Custom '59 Mercury that was Customized this way several decades ago. Cool!

I saw what looked to be a nicely done (maybe '69 or '70) GTO convertible. It was black with a white top, it looked a little weird. I think it needed a stripe or something to break up the solid black. Sorry, no photo. We were going 60 mph in opposite directions.

Saw this badass Mustang. Converted to a 2-seater and powered by a @ 1500-hp Packard V12.

Like many hot rods using a lot of WWII-surplus parts, it featured some cool and totally authentic "nose art."

I would definitely take a ride in that if I ever had the opportunity.

$2200 for 30 minutes. I did the math--that's @ $1.25 per second.:o Yes, I looked behind all the cushions of every sofa in the house. Didn't quite make it--only about $2198.75 short. Maybe next year. :(

Would be worth it! So far my best ride has been riding shotgun in a De Havilland Otter. The smell of burned oil while flying is something you don't soon forget.

That's the Collings Foundation TP-51D; they just recently got the restoration finished. It was built up from parts; the cowling with the name Toulouse Nuts came from a Mustang that was in the West Virginia Air National Guard in the 1950s. They found a photo of that plane and painted this one to match it. A bit unusual to see a Mustang in that scheme, but the Guard used Mustangs up until 1957.

The real Toulouse Nuts that the cowl came from:
