Was it rusted up to the window sills?
Oh, and welcome to the SDMB!!
Actually, no. It looked to be in reasonably decent shape cosmetically. It most likely spent its entire life in California. Our climate is kind to cars. You do fairly often see old cars here that probably would have rusted into dust decades ago in the Midwest.
Thank you!
I saw a pretty red Corvette convertible , mid-70s, driving through the streets of my town in Central Vic, Australia. They’d even converted it to right-hand drive.
I saw a beautiful Jaguar E-type in the grocery store parking lot.
I got my 76 Spitfire back from a long stay in the shop today. Brakes are working, chassis rust has been repaired, and it has a clean safety inspection. It’s ready for my annual birthday roadtrip. I’m going to take back roads from St. Louis to St. Joseph, following the Missouri River as much as possible. Hopefully I won’t get sidetracked by any flooding. Two whole days of solitude in a convertible. Ahhhhh.
(Only bummer is it’s supposed to rain. 
)
I saw two Opel Mantas this morning and a guy driving a mint condition original Shelby GT500KR on Saturday, probably holding his breath the whole time. I know I would have been.
Two canary yellow cars yesterday. One, an Acura NSX broken down on the parkway blocking a lane while getting on the tow truck. The other was a very nice looking Morgan in someone’s driveway.
Spotted a vintage fire-engine which had been brought out of mothballs (I’m guessing) to act as the hearse for a fire-fighter’s funeral. It was amazingly shiny and well-restored.
It must have been an NSX I saw yesterday. Some blade-shaped car with the Acura symbol on the back. This one was white, and running. 
Today was an Alfa Romeo 4C Spyder, quite a head turner.
Lamborghini Huracan and a Lotus Elise
A 6th generation (1993-1999) Toyota Celica, with the round inset headlights. I remember it seeming like cool styling at the time, but man is that look dated.
This morning, a 1960s VW Beetle and a Karmann Ghia, both parked in the same driveway.
I just saw a Tesla Model-S. It was passing another Model-S on the highway. That doubles the number of them I’ve seen.
I understand that they are rare in some parts of the country, but I see a dozen Teslas a day, at least 4 are parked in my office parking lot. I barely notice them any more.
Funny, I was going to post something very similar. I have a very short commute (5 min or so) and regularly see 2 or 3 each way. I saw a model 3 for the first or second time today, all others have been S or X models.
On my evening commute I saw a very tiny roadster that I couldn’t immediately identify. By tiny I mean even smaller than my Miata. I got behind it at a red light and was able to read the nameplate, which looked like it said “Cappuccino”. I’d never heard of a car called a Cappuccino before, but with a little Googling after I got home I discovered the Suzuki Cappuccino. It must have been a “grey import” from Japan; it did look like it was right hand drive although it was hard to tell since the driver had the top up.
Later on I saw a Pontiac G8 GXP, a car which I’ve seen on my commutes a few times before.
And in response to the previous posts about Teslas – I’m in Northern California. I literally see several Teslas every day. It’s definitely reached the point where I no longer consider any of their models interesting, except maybe the original Roadster. Although I used to see one of those on the road from time to time around here, too.
The earliest Cappuccinos are legit, not gray market, under the 25-year import law. Anything older than 25 years can be imported and titled legally regardless of its EPA or safety regulation status.
I see 3’s but not S’s.
I see all models around here. The folks across the street have a Model X, and their parents who visit regularly have one as well. The Model S are fairly common on the streets around hear.
