3rd generation (1968-74) Chevy Nova, probably a 72 or so.
Seen in a driveway while biking today.
A Daihatsu Hijet pickup, probably 7th or 8th generation so 1980s or 1990s. I occasionally see one around here used mostly by auto repair shops it seems.
Saw a Citroen yesterday, haven’t seen one in the wild in years. Looked to be in fairly decent condition too.
A Dodge Viper, in purple metallic, vanity plate Vipaah.
It was a DS. Looking at some pictures online, it was likely an early 70’s model.
Note: Both links go to the Wiki page for the 2CV.
D’oh! Oh well, it’s too late to edit now. Here’s the DS link if anyone wants to see what one looks like.
I actually went to the DS page earlier and then went down the rabbit hole and ended up reading about Charles DeGaulle and then the OAS…
Yesterday, I followed an Alfa Giulia for a bit on the road. The car isn’t terribly interesting but they are still pretty rare in my sightings. This one had just been through the car wash.
There’s an Alfa/Maserati dealership close by, so I see lots of both types around here.
An early-'80s Volvo 240, the Swedish Shoebox.
For the past year or so, every time I dream of being in traffic, or in huge parking lots, all the cars arre 51-54 Fords. Mixed, all different body styles and colors. Usually – sometimes they are all 51-54 Chevs. Occasionally a Pontiac, which really stands out…
A showroom-condition '48 Ford coupe, in black.
I parked next to THIS at the Publix yesterday.
I know it’s months after you posted, but the background of that shot reminds me a lot of the car park that the lowriders hung out in in GTA San Andreas… presumably based on somewhere in L.A. … Is that where it is in reality too, or just a coincidence? (Some of the less obvious locations in GTA games are still recognisable in real life - I saw the bowling alley from GTA V when I visited Manhattan…)
Be kind to this old geezer, Richard; not being a gamer, I didn’t know what GTA was at first
(I figured it out, eventually.). I have no idea where that Google picture was taken, I saw the twin of that car in the parking lot of a Publix Supermarket on the south-east side of Ocala, Florida. I haven’t seen it since then, but now that you’ve jogged my memory, I’d bet it belongs to one of the guys working at the Advance Auto Parts store 300 yards further down the street, or maybe the O’Reilly Auto Parts in the opposite direction (there are many auto parts places within screaming distance of my residence.) The fellows that got in the car both had on uniform shirts/pants like you’d see at one of those joints. If I see the Vehicle (EARWORM!) again, I’ll try to get some fresh pix and hopefully talk to the owner. Stay tuned!
It’s been a while since I saw anything all that interesting, but there were a couple of noteworthy cars while I was running errands today:
- An old BMW 2002, I think, although I saw it from a block away so it was hard to id.
- A second generation Plymouth Voyager, in amazingly good condition for being almost 30 years old.
- A classic air cooled Porsche 911, probably 1980s.
at dealer new Nissan Maxima in orange/gold. Probably will take a while to sell that one
My own car, covered in about a quarter inch of ice.
Jaguar F-Type coupe - a little unusual on a winter day in NH but there it was. Nice looking car.
Ice?!?! That does not seem like a good weather day. Hope you’re doing okay. You’re not in Alaska are you?
(Not to rub it in but) I’ve been in Palm Springs for a couple of days. Lots of nice cars around here, as you can imagine. One today was a nice BMW X3 M40i. MSRP starts at just under $60,000.
For an X3. Not inexpensive.
