A Hummer EV pickup, unfortunately no pictures. About the same blocky size as an H2 with strong accents and LED lighting. The round headlights are gone.

Saw an early 60's Studebaker Lark light blue 2-door going in the opposite direction on my way to work today. From what I did see it looked like a nice driver.

Went out to breakfast today before the weather gets icky, saw a new Charger out front of my local CDJR dealer..didn't realize the 2025s were on the lot yet.  This one is a Daytona R/T 'Stage 1' according to the badging...in an understated dark blue..it's a clean design.

The new Chodge Darger; I mean, Dodge Charger (1970 commercial joke). They actually look pretty cool, especially since a 2 door is now an option, also the Fratzog logo has returned so that’s so cool. Visible on this car in the centre rims and should be in centre grille and rear

A 2 door coupe version should have been an option from the start.

Didn't really need it on the last 2 generations, since they had the Challenger.

The Charger had always been a 2 door and coexisted with the Challenger from 1970 to 1983. 

Of course manufacturers' financial goals and consumer preferences (often driven by manufacturers' financial goals) change over time. 

Perhaps the 4 door Charger should have been introduced as Coronet or even Polaris. Whatever.

I know that, but that is the past..the modern car sold very well as a Charger. I remember all the people whining it should have been called a Coronet 20 years ago when the 05 first came out.

1948 (or so) Chevy Woody wagon only substitute the red metal for cream yellow and in just this condition.  Gorgeous.

All I have seen are snow plows and salt spreaders, lately. 

I did see a first gen Camaro a few weeks before Christmas. Normaly they are all in their dens by Thanksgiving.

Out in the snow and ice yesterday afternoon (I had ventured out to the hardware store to get more ice melt) I saw a blue and black BMW i8 (the hybrid coupe w/ the funky doors, like the Revell kit) and a salty orange McLaren 720s (unusual to see out and about in the Cleveland burbs in any weather).

Sittin' in line at a red light and this '59 Cadillac 4-Door Convertible caught my eye... The light turned green before I could activate the zoom on my cell phone camera59Cadillac4-DoorConvertible.jpg.d5f4157397339830bfaf08a674c93e87.jpg

Passed a white Mclaren on my way home this afternoon. It was getting a bit hazy, thought at first it was a Vette until I got close enough to read the nameplate between the taillights. Don't see a lot of those around here.

I’ve heard rumour of a few four door caddy convertibles having been built. Not sure they came out of the factory like that, but I have seen photos of other ones before. Still have yet to see a ‘59 in real life; one of my favourite cars.

Probably "built" using a sawzall or a death wheel.
