That makes a lot of sense. It does look a bit like a cross between a Charger and a Mustang. ---

I flew to Reno on Tuesday to visit some family members, and on the way from the airport to their home, I saw four interesting vehicles: a classic VW Beetle, a stretched GM luxury sedan (Olds Ninety-Eight or Buick Electra 225) from the late sixties, a circa 1953 Ford sedan, and a pickup truck of similar vintage. ---

Assuming the license plate was accurate, I saw a light green 1970 Karmann Ghia in excellent condition out for a drive. Still a great looking car. ---

I drove past an auto repair shop specializing in European luxury cars on my way back from lunch today. There was a grey Ferrari parked out front, quite possibly the [same Portofino I posted back in February](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-most-interesting-car-you-saw-today/688889/4166). On the way to lunch, a yellow classic VW Beetle convertible. ---

I happened across the Annual Tri-City Corvette Club show in Beaumont Texas this afternoon. Easily a couple hundred of them all lined up and looking good, including several of my favorite the mid-60s Stingray.

If you’re been following my other thread you’ll know I’m on the train heading into Chicago. I just looked out the window somewhere in rural Illinois and noticed a garage with several old British cars parked out front. I could identify an MGB, a black London taxi, and the back of what I think was an Austin of some sort, possibly the famous “land crab” (well, famous if you know British cars). ---

I wouldn’t be surprised if those British cars are on YouTube somewhere. Here are a couple of videos along similar lines: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ytJtc1uCQ08/maxresdefault.jpg "American Time Capsule: Abandoned Dealership Collier Motors AMC Has 200+ Classic Cars!

So, what happened when you threw yourself off the moving train, bought the MGB, and caught up with the train at Union Station? ---
