I went out to lunch today and saw a hot rod based on what I believe was a 1946ish Ford coupe. A few more blocks down the road I saw a 1960s Chevy II/Nova wagon turn the corner. ---

The shadows don’t make for a great photo, but my neighbor had his mid-1950s Chrysler 300 out of the garage today. I see it relatively frequently, but it’s usually in the garage so only the back is visible.

It went by too fast for me to get a picture, but I think I saw a 1961-2 white Dodge Dart Phoenix convertible. It was a relatively small convertible, subtle tailfins, but smaller taillights than the 1960 model. It was close to my home but on a major street so I don’t suspect it lives around here. ---

A 3-wheel solo electric car for 1 person. Priced under $20,000. 100 mile range. I met the owner. He’s had it 4 months and he loves it. The DMV classifies it as a motorcycle, so insurance is priced low. But you don’t need a motorcycle license to operate it. They’re in Vancouver BC. Near Tsawwassen, BC!

Yesterday I spotted a Nash Metropolitan convertible (green and white) in great shape. It looks a lot like a clown car, but it’s totes adorbs.
