Today was eclectic 70s import coupe day...saw a sharp yellow Fiat X1/9, a clean red Alfa Romeo GTV, a well worn faded red Lancia Beta (I see this one a few times a year), and a derelict-but-running gray/black Datsun 200SX,,,

Close enough ... First Holden made, the FJ. The truck hauling it is a Film ( Empire Films ) vehicle... So I suspect it's a movie prop

The 48/215 (aka FX) was the first car Holden manufactured from 1948 -1953.

The FJ was manufactured from 1953 - 1956.

Not a Holden fan mate... But I couldn't recall what the first Holden was... So I just threw in FJ...

Finally saw a Tesla Model S out on the streets. We don't get many "high end" cars around here so it's not surprising the lack of Teslas. Not to mention, they kinda blend in with other new cars and don't stick out too much.

Not today but early last week I think,,,,and I have NO idea what year it was. But a very nice looking Porsche,,I think it was a 356 maybe early to mid 60's model year time frame

a few weeks ago there was a bright pink late model camaro cruising along side me

Just did a google images search ,,,,,, and the Porsche looked a lot like this one

Well, it is not strictly a vehicle, but automotive all the same. There is this service station in my town who stopped selling gas, so they took down the gas name brand sign. However, they are still in business doing oil changes, and inspection and such so they put a new sign up with what I assume is the company name.

I am not certain it is a well chosen name..

Looking at that poor old Holden, I wonder if it had a fabric roof that went up and down in those channels in the roof like a Ford A400?

Almost forgot, there was a very sinister looking all black 2015 Mustang parked in front of the Enterprise Rental Car Agency by work today when I got back from lunch?!

Nope. Those Holden's all came with full steel roofs from the factory.

I saw that same black Tesla again this morning. That's about the third or fourth time I've seen it around here. The guy obviously lives either in my town or very close. What a great looking car. It's just beautiful. B)

Saw a White '73 Mustang on the way down to Buckhead. I see the car several times a month, at the same time of day, so it's obviously a daily driver. Clean car, shiny paint, looks like it's only a year or two old.

Also saw a red Ferrari Mondial cabriolet on a trailer (behind a Dodge diesel dually) as I was getting back close to home.

I couldn't tell you what year it was, but I passed a white Bentley Continental GT V12 on my way to work. I'm not much of a fan of Bentley's, but it was a sharp looking car none-the-less. Didn't even know about them.
