No rear window. Well maybe if you uncover the box. I assume it has a, or multiple back up cameras? ---

The Fisker Ocean One SUV, All-Electric Made by Fisker Inc., the successor to Fisker Automotive. (Fisker Automotive went tango uniform\* in 2014. Karma Automotive and Fisker Inc. are its successors.) Range: Up to 360 mi 0-60 mph in 3.7 sec, w/ 564 Peak HP Option MSRP of the Fisker Ocean Extreme = approx $60K MSRP of the base model = approx $38K It can come with a California Mode, to stream fresh air: “Push a button and eight glass panels open simultaneously to transform a versatile SUV into a coastline-cruising convertible. With our exclusive California Mode, you can drop the front windows, both rear-seat windows, both rear Doggie windows next to the D-pillar, and the Rear Lift Gate Window while opening the SolarSky roof at the same time. You can even load a surfboard through the open rear window.” Also, “Fisker is sold out of the launch edition Fisker Ocean One. In Q2, Fisker will begin manufacturing other trim levels, beginning with their most premium trim, the Fisker Ocean Extreme. Fisker will prioritize the manufacturing and delivery of Extreme orders beginning in Q2 2023.” - — tango uniform is an econ term that essentially means defunct [[Album] The Fisker Ocean One SUV, All-Electric ![](https://i.imgur.com/I83uWzq.jpeg?fb "The Fisker Ocean One SUV, All-Electric") ](https://imgur.com/gallery/GdDpCSS) ---

A Triumph Spitfire Mark IV (1970-74) that looks like a bit of a project. It is usually under a cover, this is the first time I’ve seen the car underneath.

Isn’t that the same car you posted on [Aug. 9](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-most-interesting-car-you-saw-today/688889/5577), which I identified as a GT6? The Spitfire was a convertible only, the GT6 was a coupe. Although now that I look at it from the angle in the first picture, I think you’re right – that’s a Spitfire, with a removable hard top (Did they make a removable hard top for the Spitfire?). The GT6 had more of a fastback roofline, while this car has a regular trunk (or boot, since it’s British). ---

I was out for a walk earlier today, when the driver of a Lincoln Mark VII LSC stopped to let me cross the street. It looked to be in almost like-new condition, at least cosmetically. It was being driven by a little old lady, which makes me wonder if she’s the original owner and has been driving it for 30+ years. It looked a lot like this one from Wikipedia. Same color, even, although I don’t think the one I saw had the black along the bottom.

I saw a 1955 Chevy. Not sure which model, since all the trim had been removed. Even the lowly 150 had _some_ trim. I guess the current owner likes the trim-less look. I also saw, I think 5 Rivians today. I think; I lost count. When they’ve become that commonplace they’re probably crossed the line where they’re not that interesting anymore.
