And, as a New Yorker I was weirdly excited to see this little mail truck - never saw one of these before!  Only ever saw the ‘regular’ size Grumanns or whatever they’re called - it’s cute ?

My regular carrier drives one of these Grumman LLVs, but I am seeing more and more of the RAM Promasters around. They are quite a bit larger and THEY HAVE A/C!

All at a local car show,until the cops busted us all out of the parking lot.Its held underneath an EL train.

Monto Carlo for me please.

By coincidence, a Monte Carlo was one of the few 'proper' American cars I saw when I went to NYC/NJ in 1999:

I love this color! Any idea what it is called? Rest of the car is beautiful as well.

No I never saw that color before.

A lot of great looking rides. The gray Road Runner just looks like something you don't really want to mess with. 

[Rob Hall]

That color on the RR reminds me of Winchester Gray which I've seen '70-71 Challengers in.

[The Junkman]

Not a MOPAR guy but I really like that the RR's owner stayed with the original theme of the car-lower level content and focused on performance.  Poverty hubcaps and wheels (no fancy aftermarket-not that there's anything wrong with that), no scooper dooper hood-just a power bulge.  Can't see inside but I'd like to think he/she had front bench seats too.  Very clean.

Couple of cool sightings from sunny Indiana this past week;

Nice lookin' TR6 there. Looks like a '73 but with hints of a '69 thrown in to deceive!

[Rob Hall]

I like that '83-84 Mustang convertible...the TR6 reminds me of my ex-brother-in-law #1's car, he had an orange one he repainted in that same maroon.  I remember riding in it as a kid, and that he was always working on it..always had some electrical issue...

[BlackSheep214]

A couple simultaneously while I was on the road on my job. To the left at a light, 1957 Thunderbird in black, coming the opposite direction,  a 1955 Cameo pick up truck in red. It was a good day to brighten my boring afternoon.

[Paintandwrenches]

This pulled in today while I was working at a Hobby Lobby. Factory Hemi, power steering, brakes and windows. I needed to take a break anyway. ?

[cobraman]

Nice !

The dreaded 68 Coronet.

All I care about is the 1970 Chevrolet Custom longbed that's the same color as the '69 I had.  ?  The headlights on the murdered Caprice, so Mercury Marauder looking. ?

Drive-by photograph, didn't get out to take a closer look, parked at the American Legion.

I remember going in to that American Legion to drop off some non-perishable food for their food closet. It's quite an interesting place......

Yea that was one extremely nice Caprice.I wanted a Marauder,but couldn’t find one I liked.So instead I found a very clean black 09 P71,full police package Crown Vic,and blacked everything out.Flow masters added too.The car flies,and sounds awesome.It was an ex FBI detectives car.It’s my Blues Mobile.Low Idling hours and pretty low miles for an 09.

I saw a dead skunk in the middle of the road stinking to high heaven

Passed a deer in not much better of shape (looked fresh) on my way home from work tonight.

 

Other than that, a new Tesla I haven't seen before, a couple SRT Jeeps, a G8, and some late model Camaros, that's it.

Lots of Muntjac deers here in Norfolk UK, sadly they get run down all the time.

There's a Tesla in my village unbelievably ! Lovely car, but so quiet  it nearly knocked me down as I was walking the dog , only saw it coz I turned my head as I was about to cross the lane.

As another Norfolk resident I can testify to this. I hit one in my Datsun Laurel once, fortunately both car and deer escaped unscathed.

From the last of the season local cars and coffee......

This is the only way I care to see one of these!  (not in the rear view mirror with the light show going on!
