Did you see how much they were asking for this little "shoe box"?

[Classicgas]

To be honest I didn't even see the for sale sign until I looked at the picture later.

And this is a little unique. We just added the Ford Performance FP700 package to one of our trucks. 2023 F150 XLT.

22" wheels, exhaust, some stripes, custom leather, dashboard plate, and a supercharger. Now putting out around 700hp. Hence the name of the package.

I'm trying to convince them to lower the truck a little. A 4/5" drop would look awesome on this. 

Not sure why we added the ugly mudflaps though.

What MPH will it do flat out?

Neat Tesla truck. We don't see their trucks here in the UK, but a lot of cars. We hear that Tesla are about to stop building Right Hand Drive versions.

On my noon walk I came across this incredible Chevy Fleatline doe the the MAX!  All the bells and whistles, so to speak.  The last is the Trunk latch.

I’m guessing it was a four door. The back seat is a bench that was shortened so people could go past it without climbing. Pretty cool, but up close it had some flaws, like the upper window frame that was not a smooth line. Overall it was a nice ride.

Suburbans back then were two doors.  The orange one might have been a panel truck w/ side windows added, or they removed the pillar between the side windows when they chopped the top.   This is what the regular Suburban side window treatment looked like:

See Rob Halls post. As a school aged child one of the early school buses that I had to ride in was one of these window Suburbans. The front passenger seat would flip forward to allow entry to the rear portion of the bus. The second seat would allow two people to sit on the second-row bench and the opening allowed students to get to the rear bench seat.

While not a style I would own, you have to appreciate the way this owner has built this car. This is an excellent example of this style of car.

Beetle on the Causeway in Satellite Beach, FL and this straight out of the 1980s Corvette complete with bass boat flake paint job in front of Ollie's in Merritt Island, FL earlier.

There was a yellow one that ran around in the East End of Louisville in the early seventies. I saw it quite a few times over a couple of years. The rumor was that it cost over $10,000!?

I remember when Mercury dealers were blowing new Panteras out for $7500.

That Ford's Garage looks like a cool place. Do they only park the old cars out front on nice days?

They were both on jack stands, so I think they were just there as decoration out front.  But the Model A had its lights on.  Not sure if they were runners or not.  They had a sedan installed over the bar and several bodies/engines around the inside.  Food was outstanding. 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

chassed these down on my way to work this morning.  also saw a really nice red/white 56 Chevy, but no pic of that one.

I didn't see it on the road, but my daughter likes to send me cars for sale in the area. She's only 18 but I think she has good taste. 

[LDO]

At a Tesla charging area in Cedar Park, Texas. If I had the money to buy one of these, I’d get an old Mercedes instead.
