This was technically on the side of the road out east from us.

The Big Duck. It has been moved around the Island and this is the final nesting spot for it. It was almost scrapped at one point in time.

Diorama idea! ⬆️ 

I've been noticing many Cybertrucks are getting paint or vinyl wrapped.  I don't remember Deloreans getting changed so much. 🙄

[Rob Hall]

Speaking of DeLoreans, I saw a bright red one a few years ago on I-40 in New Mexico.  Don't know if was painted or a wrap.

This was Saturday, I was checking out the Ditch Witch job, when this Tesla driver went over the temporary ramp over the hoses at "regular" speed, the hitch came undone and caught a water hose going across.  We all started yelling STOP!  I had to run up to the car and slap it to get his attention.  I chewed him out for the workers. 🤬

On my afternoon walk saw the orange ‘68 Charger again. Looks clean and straight, side marker lights removed.

That's one lucky ducky not to be scrapped. Glad to see they didn't destroy.

I even bought a duck keychain for $2.87 while I was there.

Looks like he did just what his bumper sticker told him to do...

Passed this Toyota HiAce on the way home yesterday.

Went away for the weekend, saw some nice Ford cars, a '64 Galaxie, '63 Thunderbird, and a circa '76 Lincoln Continental. The Thunderbird was for sale and I had seen the ad on marketplace since last fall. It really is a nice car, not sure why it's having a tough sell. Was $17,900 initially I believe, but now it's down to $9,000.

 

Was the T-Bird photo taken in Blind River? My sister and I just did a cross-country road trip a couple weeks ago, and I swear I saw it just around the corner from the motel we stayed at there.

Yes it was in that area, near a motel. That's crazy cool that you actually saw this car too. We were driving to Sudbury and so when I saw it, I happened to look up a side road into a subdivision and it was peeking out from someone's driveway. We did a circle back to get a closer look because I suspected it was the one for sale on marketplace.

Got some nice photos of a '73 Thunderbird; I have seen it many times before, parked here, but only ever got drive-by photos so this time I actually parked and got out to get a closer look. It is listed for sale and can be yours for $15,000.

Not quit on the road, but for sale at a baitshop in Crawfordsville IN.

Another vehicle you don't see often, an older VW Scirocco. I'm not sure of the year, but it was pretty sharp and peppy.

[Tim W. SoCal]

'68 Rambler Ambassador Convertible in cream yellow with khaki colored interior and top. Didn't get a pic because it was going the opposite direction and I was driving. I don't know if it was restored or if it is a well loved survivor, but it was in EXCELLENT condition.

Like the Nova, but what about the El Camino in the background?

[Quiet Eric]

Heard about this guy for a while but only came across it this morning. His home is a self described "Dallas Cowboys Museum" and the entire front yard is astroturfed and painted like the field. Pretty good taste in cars though!

On Saturday, a really nice black 64 Thunderbird hardtop.

Charger Station Wagon? Never seen one like this. Charger style front end on a Dodge station wagon body. Like the hood and wheels.

That's a 1971 Dodge Coronet wagon, with a Coronet front end.

I had a 1971 Charger (that's what fooled me) but never seen a 1971 Coronet wagon before.

Starting in 1971, for a few years all intermediate Dodge 2-doors were Chargers and all 4-doors and wagons were Coronets.  No external sheet metal or trim was shared.
