A right hand drive jeep in the states, and no it wasn't a mail jeep, it was customized as well.

You can order right hand drive Jeeps in the US. Some rural areas have postal workers buying these for mail delivery and personal use. There are two of them in my 1200 person village. One black, the other is metallic bronze.

Interesting, I had no idea, not a Jeep guy.

This one brought to mind another 'cowboy cadillac' in scale that some of us are familiar with

Went to the supermarket this morning and found this when we came back to our car.

Notice how the other two cars parked by it are also Buicks. Shows just how much superior styling was back then compared to now.

My son's 4Runner in its natural habitat.

In it's natural habitat again. Doesn't that darn boy know it's supposed to be parking lots???

Good job! Around Austin you usually see them either spotless or totally clapped out!

Around Portland too. They are all ready for boondocking/overlanding with all of the extras but they're never offered the roads. My son has spent money on the accessories and lift, etc. but it's all for the purpose of going off road.

Before he owned a tuner wrx but I think this is better. It gets him out in nature. He loves being out in the forest away from everything now.

Took the Highway Star on a Father’s Day morning cruise, only saw one other classic, a 1974 GMC Sprint. No pic of it as we past but here’s a pic of the same vehicle at last year’s cruise night. Very cool car truck.

This chevelle hasn't moved in the last 20 years. I pass it going to work everyday and shake my head. Finally got a decent picture of it.I

I would rather one of these than an MGB.

An Escort XR3i Cabriolet?! 

I would LOVE to get my hands on one of those!

If I ran into those cars at the same time, I'd hardly notice the Sunbeam.

they didn't last long in my area. rust made them snap in front of the back seat as karmann decided that the best place for the drain holes for the roof was under carpet instead of in the wheel arch. they rusted along the joins until all that was holding them together was the sills and quarters. its a shame cos they were good cars and can make reat resto mods due to the massive ford scene in europe and how simple it is to put modern engines in them. i remember a white on white one that just looked like the coolest car to ten year old me but miami vice was on tv then so that might have been an influence too

All of those British Fords from the 80s just rusted apart.

My cousin had a Fiesta XR2, orange of course. When it rusted apart, he switched to VW GTIs and still drives them to this day.

An old Ford Sierra would be awesome too. I don;t even need the Cosworth. I'd like a Sierra Estate.
