What did you see on the road today?

63-64 Nova Convertible on a trailer.
67-68 Valiant 2-door.

Don't see many of the other brands of bikes down here on the Space Coast of FL, it is overwhelmingly Harley country when it comes to touring bikes. Surprised to see this nice BMW R18 in the parking lot at the bank.

He probably gets a hard time everywhere he goes, for NOT having a HD.......

I saw a 64 Pontiac Catalina today like this one(was driving and couldn’t get a pic)it was the same color with a white painted top and what looked like polished torque thrusts. Older guy driving, I gave him a thumbs up and he smiled and waved and goosed it a little. Sounded very healthy to me.

That car is usually at the hardees in Rossville every sat/sun morning.

One of the members of the So Cal Cougar Club showed up today with his father in the father's 59 Thunderbird...

This appears to a 36 Ford body placed on top of a snowmobile chassis solely to attract attention but kind of cool to see none the less.

Judging from the surroundings, it's not just to attract attention.

So clean ! Love the Fairlane in the background too.

A trip the other day down the old highway yielded this bit of inspiration

A 1967 Galaxie I spied in the Hobby Lobby parking lot.

A very Sweet 2CV.  It wasn't till later that I noticed the Land Rover.

Kinda like the massive and lifted 4WD pickups that will never touch dirt, I'd imagine it will never leave a Home Depot with a sheet of plywood and a couple bags of concrete mix.

Yeah, over the last several decades pickup trucks have morphed from utility vehicles to luxury transportation that could theoretically be used for some utility tasks. The keyword is "theoretically".

Round here in Yorkshire I see lots of pickups and the vast majority, Isuzu, Ford, Merc, Toyota, etc, are all working vehicles.

Would still like one to play with though. ?

Someone spent probably a couple thousand dollars on suspension components, wheels, and tires to lift this up to increase the ground clearance. Then, spent several hundred dollars more for that trailer hitch.

I had to ride with this kid to a job site once...... He had put tires on his pickup that were meant for offroad use. After he reached about 45 mph, chunks of tire were flying off. About a mile down the road, you could smell the rubber being ruined! I was thinking 'what a maroon' to spend all that money on those tires just to ruin them on pavement.....
