The cab seems unusually wide relative to the rest of the vehicle...wonder what it started as.

That was one thing I forgot to ask. My guess would be a UK Ford E93a Popular 1949-1953 model

I saw this 2018 GT-R R35 at a gas station in town the other day but the guy left before I could get my phone out. I went to the dealership yesterday and look what was up for sale!

This just happens to be the same color as my 2018 Rogue. I was told that the guy traded it in for a brand new BASE MODEL Rogue and $50,000. I wanted to get better pics of it but the room it was in was tiny and full of windows with the sun low in the sky.

I saw a super nice MG TC today at lunch. I hope they show up at British car day in October. I’d like to take a closer look at it.

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that an "Orange Peal" finish on that paint ?

'66 Chevelle SS convertible in the supermarket parking lot this afternoon.

Might be a SS want a be. Got the Hood and the grill emblem. Front fender has small block emblems and nothing on the rear panel. This is still a nice looking Chevelle anyway.

Not often do I need to ask "what is it?", but that is what I posted to social media when I saw one of these (photo grabbed from the internet). I thought it looked like a Karmann Ghia, but it wasn't. Or so I thought. 
Turns out, it is. A type 34 Karmann Ghia. From what I am told.

On this beautiful memorial day I saw a '53 Cadillac hardtop in a light powder blue, a Chevy SSR, a triple black Vette ZO6 and a first gen Mustang rag top. Not bad for west central Ohio.

Yes, a model not sold in the USA but a lot of them have made their way here over the years. When I lived in Germany 1969-72 the family across the hall from us had one as a second car

Spotted a Cobra Daytona Coupe on U.S. 33 on the way home from Columbus,Ohio this afternoon. That is the only one I have seen anywhere. Very cool.

Have been meaning to post this well customized Acura NSX that was in the paddock at the Long Beach Grand Prix.

Saw a hot rodded mid '50's Ford cab over truck.

I am not familiar with what ever this car is including who makes it. With your mention of him trading it in for a Rogue plus 50K can I assume it's Nissan?

Nissan GT-R.  Their legendary performance coupe.  The current generation has been around over a decade.

We live in Jackson Center,Ohio which is the home if the Airstream trailer factory so out of state license plates are not uncommon. However this week there are hundreds of Airstreams in town for their annual Alumapaloosa rally so our little two traffic light village has them everywhere. What I saw was a plate from the Northwest Territories. That's the plate shaped like a polar bear. First one I have ever actually seen.

Lolz, I was just looking at that and thinking there was an awful lot of orange peel for  $100k car!

A 1957 Chevy Bel Air, red with a white roof and looking bone-stock, right down to the hubcaps.  In the parking lot of Wal-Mart.

Not exactly "on" the road, but down the road and over the hill, past the swamp and the prison, then take the third left, go seven miles...

Saw a clean red w/ white roof '59 Edsel 4dr at a gas station.  Also a sharp silver '65 Cadillac de Ville convertible w/ black top and red interior and a silver '68-72 GMC fleet side shortbed pickup. 

[espo]

You have to wonder about the story behind the little Chevy coupe. So the guy' likes Corvairs. Now this mid '50's Ford F100 with the caved in roof and the Big Block sitting in back ?   

[espo]

Friday Night at Holy Field Winery I'm standing in line at the Food Truck when this guy pulls in the parking lot with a '57 or '58 Ford F100 in Moon Eyes Yellow and White. American five spokes with dark gray centers and couldn't be any lower unless it was on Air. Of course the Tail Gate was a little higher in the air just like it should be. Now I have to find a '57 Ford F100 short bed kit to build.

Just a few random photos of yesterday's Saturday Night Cruise in The Hague, The Netherlands. The weather was great, so there was a big turnout in cars and people.

Great set of "rusting in peace" photos. Thanks for sharing.

At the annual community car show in our village we had beautiful weather which naturally equals lots of cool rides that might otherwise not leave their garages. That group ran the gamit from a 12 cyl Ferrari to  '23 Chevy touring car. My absolute favorite was a'27 Buick speedster with a twin carb straight six engine and only slightly muffled exhaust. 

[Tom Geiger]

Remove that one piece of trim hanging off the front fender.  Add door handle and some cool wheels.  Maybe a grille...  it'll probably start!   LOL    Great patina!
