At the supermarket here on the Vineyard, a Volvo Duett. Not sure I’ve ever seen one before.
One of my neighbor’s friends or relatives drives a big old '92 (according to the personalized plates) Buick Estate Wagon, complete with fake wood paneling. I see it parked in front of their house from time to time, like today. Without looking it up I don’t know the last year they made those, but that must be one of the last old school full sized V8 powered rear wheel drive station wagons made in the US.
Headed into Harvard Square was an AWD right-hand drive Toyota Lite Ace camper van. Not sure which exact model, but it looks like a 2nd generation, so maybe 1990s?
Last night on my commute home I saw a VW Vanagon syncro double cab pickup, in desert tan. The bed was covered with what looked like a canvas tarp held up by wood bows, like military trucks have. I was on my motorcycle so was not able to get a picture but it looked pretty cool.
Kind of like in this picture but with a rear cover –
Yeah, that.
I saw one of those parked on the wharf in Santa Cruz a few months ago, the same color you describe, even. I didn’t mention it back then because it was lass interesting than the other cars I’d seen that day.
Black Tesla Model S D-100, stunning vehicle. I was directly behind it on an onramp to the highway. It took off and was a mile ahead of me in about 6 seconds. I want one of these.
In our parking lot today, a mid-60s Jag S Type (without the Jag Hood ornament, which seems a bit odd)
I’m sure that idiots keep stealing the ornament, so they repaired the hood to live without it. Nice looking car.
A chartreuse MGB.
Last night on my commute home I passed a small truck. I’m pretty sure it was a Morris Minor 1000 6cwt truck, like this web pic:
I was on my bike and could not snap a photo. It looked very nice, and very unique.
This morning I saw a gorgeous Jaguar E-Type. They say a car is a good design if it looks good in white. This car still looked quite beautiful even though it was painted white.
In Los Gatos today, a lime green McLaren 720s
Saw two local cars I hadn’t seen in a while, parked next to each other. One was the 1948 Packard Deluxe and the other was the CommutaCar electric from the 1970s. Both haven’t moved since the last snow storm, apparently.
I was behind a Hyundai that I’d never seen before. The font made it look like it was an “ionia” electric car. I just googled and found it’s actually “ioniq.”
On my way to the farmers market this morning I saw someone driving what I’m pretty sure was a Model A.
While out running errands today I passed what I’m pretty sure was an early 1950s Cadillac, although I only got a brief look at it as we were heading in opposite directions.
Honorable mention goes to the Aston-Martin Vantage convertible I passed, and the Maserati Levante that was in the other lane at a red light. I hadn’t realized Maserati had gotten on the SUV/crossover bandwagon.
A white, 11th Generation (2002-2005) Ford Thunderbird. Meh.
Also an mid-'50s Ford coupé.
Last week on the way to the corner shop, a red first-generation Lancia Delta. I don’t think it was a particularly special rally version although the owner had fitted a spoiler on the top edge of the hatchback anyway, and it was in nice condition.
In the other direction, it passed a dark green TVR Chimaera turning into the Kwik-fit tyre shop that’s there.
Saw my first four(!) new Broncos; on a car carrier destined for some dealer.
