Driving home for lunch today I saw a Bentley emblem and grill in my rear view mirror. But, it looked huge. Looked some more and definitely a Bentley (not that rare here). I turned and he went straight but I looked in my mirror again and realized it was a SUV. I had no clue Bentley made a SUV but it turns out they have the Bentayga. 2023 Bentley Bentayga Review, Pricing, and Specs
Cobra kit car
A black Volvo Sport much like this PV 544. The plate attached was an original 1964 Indiana tag, so I’m guessing that the vehicle was a 1964 model as well. Since the car was parked in a muffler/brake shop lot, I got a decent look at the “well-built Swede”.
I saw a Nissan GT-R on the freeway this morning. Ironically, the driver wasn’t going that fast. While he was going faster than me (I was in the second lane from the right), he was in the far left lane with several other cars stacked up behind him.
Yesterday at a local historic car meet, I saw:
Green Hornet Black Beauty replica
DIVCO milk delivery van
A custom 6-door Jeep Wrangler limo
A Corvette-ish dune buggy
Mark 1 1978 Ford Fiesta
And a Dodge Coronet RT with 426 HEMI
A first generation Plymouth Roadrunner parked at a gas station near my house.
A survivor 91 Mustang LX with no rust or dents. Pretty rare for an Edmonton car.
A Buick Regal TourX wagon, actually a pretty nice looking car. There are so few true wagons on the market these days.
I was just thinking the other day, nowadays if you see a “Fox body” Mustang on the road it’s pretty much always a GT. You hardly ever see a Mustang LX from that generation on the road anymore. Those weren’t the ones people preserved.
I saw a Cadillac Allanté on the drive to work this morning.
I saw what looked to be a ‘63 Cadillac. Big ol’ black boat, she was.
Toyota 2000GT, in a museum sadly, not out and about.
That’s too bad. a car that pretty and drive-able should be on the road.
At an MSRP starting at $325,000, the Rolls Royce Cullinan, their big SUV, I saw today in downtown Toronto at the Ritz-Carlton on Wellington looked bulky and boxy. Not handsome at all, at least not to me.
Ha, I saw one of these last week near Marylebone station in London, and had only just got round to coming to post about it. I agree, it’s even uglier than most modern Rolls Royces, and weirdly for an SUV actually manages to look smaller than their saloon models because its odd proportions make it look like it’s been squashed in from the sides and expanded upwards.
Other things I’ve seen since then are a 2-door Mercedes 350 from the 1970s in Vienna - I think it said CLK and was the roadster model (similar to some in this google image search), and a Brabus jeep in Bratislava - I can’t find any similar pictures because it was presumably fairly customised, but it looked really nice and definitely stood out from the crowd. (eta) - Or a Brabus jeep-like thing, anyway. I thought it actually had a Jeep grill, but it seems as though they only do up Mercedes. It didn’t look like the 4WD Mercedes ones I can find photos of, though. Anyway, it was a nice 4WD thing which said “Brabus” on the back…
… I think I missed the edit window on my previous post, but the Brabus I saw must have been this one, based on the Mercedes G 550:

A new Supra in the wild; driving the other direction.
EVs! Two Model 3s in the Lowes parking lot and a Model S as I was leaving on Sunday. Also, an EPace and a Model S in the wild at work last week, which being in the middle of Oil Country, is a little remarkable. I was hoping to be the first to have one here, I guess I’ll settle for the next…
I saw a beautiful C1 Corvette today. It was the quad-headlight version, which would make it late 1950s or early 1960s.
I was also behind a Pontiac Torrent for quite a ways. That’s a crossover/SUV I’d completely forgotten existed.
MB 420 SEL, 1985-1991. Still a good looking car for 30 years old.
