What's the most interesting car you saw today?

A pre 1973 MGB in British Racing Green.

Also known as the Chevrolet Nomad, perhaps the only station wagon ever to be considered a “halo car”. ‘57 Chevys are valuable, but the Nomad really ramps that up.

Believe it or not, that’s not a kit. The Morgan Three-Wheeler is a real thing, direct from the factory.

At the Yamhill Heritage Museum this morning, the sole remaining example of the 1941 Hudson C-10 delivery van.

On the Oregon coast this weekend: a 50s Ford Ranch Wagon in Gold Beach and a Dodge(?) Coupe cruising the waterfront in Newport.

I guess it’s not a particularly interesting or rare car, but it was awesome to me. I just finished a two day road trip in a 50th anniversary edition Corvette. It’s my brother’s car. I drove between St. Louis and Davenport, Iowa, taking the Illinois River Road there, and the Missouri River Road back. It was a nice drive, with beautiful scenery. I could just look at the Mississippi River for hours for some reason. Anyway, parts of the trip, especially Missouri Highway 79, were really twisty. The Corvette loves corners. :smiley:

The wagon in the pics isn’t a Nomad; the Nomad was a two-door, with a more sloping back end and B-pillar.

It’s cheating, because it was at a dealer. But we know the owner of the dealership, so that kinda counts. A bright orange 2018 Maclaren 570S Spider. There were a few more models there but that car stood out. The 570GT was also a head turner.

I saw a gold Maserati yesterday on the way to the store.

Not painted normal gold color. I mean it literally looked like it was gold-plated. I’m sure it wasn’t really, but it looked quite tacky (and shiny!)

Mundane, but interesting to me because it was the family car when I was a teenager: a Rambler American seen in Ferndale CA.

Envy!

BMC Huffaker Formula Junior, as part of a vintage open-wheel race group this past weekend.

The first car I bought with my own money, when I was 18 in 1991, was a 1967 Rambler American four door pretty much like that one. Mine was a green and white two tone. IIRC it had about 30,000 miles on it, and I paid $300 for it. It was the proverbial little old lady car, and her kids were trying to sell it after her death. I drove that car back and forth to college and to my first job. I miss it.

A 1950 Plymouth Custom Deluxe, the only car in an apartment building parking lot. Almost identical to this car.

Saw a newer Maserati Quattroporte or possibly Ghibli today, which is quite unusal in our neighborhood. Saw it on our main street, which is still under construction after nearly a year. At least the roadway is in better shape than it was a month or two ago. Hope the Mazerati got through unscathed.

2nd generation (1968-72) Buick Skylark convertible in faded yellow.

I work part time at my son-in-laws auto repair shop, and every now and then we get some gorgeous old classics in for repair. Yesterday it was a 1941 Ford convertible - spotless body, and with the interior done in a light tan leather. Won’t even try to describe the instrument panel - they knew how to use chrome in those days. I must have spent at least ten minutes just standing and admiring it.

I contrast this with the look-alike cars today. You can’t even tell a Rolls Royce from a cheap Honda without closely scrutinize the grill.

I love old instrument panels. Sometimes they’re the best part of a car.

I saw a Toyota WiLL VI today, apparently a 2000-2001 model, but clean and new looking, I thought it was something just released. Weird thing, I saw one in the parking lot when getting in a taxi, and another on the road a couple miles away, same color, maybe same car. Goofy looking car.
