Going into the metro area for shopping and followed this great looking '55 Chevy 210 for several miles until he turned off a couple of miles before our off ramp. He had no problem pacing traffic at 75 mph and had a low rumble exhaust note. I was driving so my wife took the pictures.

Was heading to Gettysburg this weekend with some family, and I saw this on the road. Anyone know what it is? And year? I’m thinking late 1930s? Very cool looking truck.

Not a car or truck but an interesting sign at a rest stop in Montana

Checked; different plates, the blue has a different tone and it appears to be located in Camarillo, about 500 miles away. It IS one vehicle I wouldn't mind owning for the gas pump conversations I'd have if for no other reasons.   https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1962-chevrolet-corvair-95-pickup-2/

Your from the U.K. right? He is using a site called Imgur, a free image hosting service, I use it for posting on other forums that dont have image hosting. Imgur has blocked access to all U.K. users because of some "internet safety" fine. You can get around it with a VPN.

On Saturday I went on my annual cruise with my Great Uncle in his '65 Thunderbird. Saw a red '56ish Ford truck. Have seen it going down the road many times as it lives on a farm on my grandma's street, but it never goes to shows. Not the best photos but I only photos I have got of the truck. Stopped at the gas station with the 'bird so I took a photo. The car has a 61 year birthday this Wednesday; having been produced October 8th, 1964. There is quite a paper trail on the car, so that's how we know its production date. But also the bill of sale is another piece of history, stating that the car hadn't actually been bought until July 3rd, 1965. My suspicion is that, since it is a Landau, it may have been ordered as the showroom special, and so the dealer made sure to keep it for a while. Plus the first owner was the wife of I believe a steel tubing company president or something; i'd have to ask my great uncle again. But it was an $8,000 car in 1965, though the trade-in of a '61 Buick Electra cut some of the price down. Cool that it's an original local car too.

Coming out of physical therapy today, I ran across an auto transporter full of new Corvettes stopped in the middle of the street unloading a yellow one at a Chevy Dealer. All the rest were hidden beneath white car covers.

Almost forgot to mention, on Sunday I saw a 1960 Meteor Montcalm, the two door with the star liner roofline. It was the only classic on a car carrier that I saw at the last second so unfortunately I missed a photo opportunity. But it was red and white like this Rideau 500 (internet photo to show colour combo). Kicking myself for not getting a photo though; it was a stunning sight and a rare one at that.

Had a white '69 Caddy convertible behind me on the road for a bit. Seen it many times and I know where it lives but never got a photo and it never goes to shows. This time was no different in the photo aspect but it looks like this:

Most expensive cars auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson on Tuesday

Also never seen it with the top down. My dad actually saw it up close once in the Home Depot parking lot a while ago. Said it's not as pristine as I always thought it was.

Had to drive into Austin Texas to drop off my wife at the airport. On the way back I saw a Dodge Ram 700 with Coahuila license plates. My picture sucked, but this is what it looked like. I think I heard Ram may import them as a Maverick competitor if things work out. DodgeRamMexicoOnRoad.jpg.86e351615a056dc14e85da7b5af625df.jpgDodgeRamMexico.jpg.1fa28ebe9acc776eab2407fcb9aa5c62.jpg

Then a couple of miles later, I passed a Chevy BrightDrop. It's an electric delivery van. This one had manufacturer plates so maybe they were testing it. No picture, but it looked like this one. ChevyBrightDrop.jpg.5e129d65087794166e9c9249b7a787c8.jpg

Literally saw that white '69 Caddy again. Was in a way better position to take a photo, yet, it once again didn't happen. But I saw it quite closer up than usual. Has a red interior which is neat, considering it's white and has a black convertible top.
