Stopping at the bagel place this afternoon I saw a '67 Chevelle base model four-door sedan; zero rust (!), in the ever-popular color Flat Metallic Beige (aka Sierra Fawn) with '65 Impala SS wheel covers. Owner had his head buried in his smartphone so I didn't bother him.

I want this!  I have passed this Chrysler 300 wagon on my way to work several times when I was too much in a hurry to stop. It's not there every day, but I was running early this morning so I snapped a few photos.  This is actually a Dodge Magnum wagon with a 300 nose on it, but in Europe it was sold just like this!  

I'm always looking at cars and someone asked me what would make me pull the trigger... um, if this had a For Sale sign on it!

Not exactly "on the road" I guess, but just up the alley from me is a garage that's always closed. I poked my camera over the gap at the top of the door and took this:

A vintage Dodge with a coat of dust, last registered in 2003.

On the way back home from Nor cal I saw one of the high end Audis, A McLaren painted up like a WW Mustang fighter that looked like it was stranded just outside Pasadena, and a tubbed, blown, yellow 57 chevy. Sorry no pics. I was driving.

I believe this is about a 1973 LeBaron Imperial, on I-55 north of downtown Memphis:

And a few hours before I saw that one, I chased after this 1970 Buick Wildcat in Whitehaven, the south side of Memphis:

1970%20Buick%20Wildcat%2055000miles_zpso

I followed that fellow to the sidewalk, and he told me it was his dad's car, all original, with only 55,000 miles. Offered to let me peak under the hood, but I was expected elsewhere and running late. It was cherry - and that engine sounded nice. If I see it again, I'm looking under the hood.

For years and years, one thing I've said about Memphis is no one throws away old cars.

I had some business over at the courthouse the other day and a judge rolled up in this. I am willing to bet that I am the only one here that has seen one of these this month! Heck, I willing to bet no one else has seen one of these this year. ;)2cv_zpsnird4id6.jpg

Guess what I saw today?

On Highway 78, heading to Tupelo. I wonder if it could be the same fellow?

Wow, what is the probability that there are two of these painted the same way!  Slight difference in the rims though, but that is weird!  Thanks for the post

Hi fellas. Saw this the other day. Great looking car, but the panel fit is questionable. The mustang also failed to make the grade in the New South Wales Police force highway patrol with its gearbox overheating in 3 minutes. image.thumb.jpeg.38fa3794d69493d348ec7edimage.thumb.jpeg.188cb85a4b4815ba7df213d

Well, you would be surprised, I guess.

This is a 2 CV Charleston and many of them had this color scheme from the factory... Other colors where two tone grey or yellow and black...

However..... I don't think many of these came with a huge 5th wheeler installed at the front bumper...

The rims being towed are spinning. What's different I don't see? :)

The one being towed has chrome trim rings. The parked one does not. :)
