A very nicely restored cab over pickup truck. I’m pretty sure it was a GMC based on the very low height of the bed. It was a double cab, and had chrome pipes running up along side the cab. Of course it was bright red.
It looked pretty much like this - such a neat look.
I drove past a Carvana car vending machine today. It was empty! I guess they really need your used cars.
I saw a lime green McLaren MP4-12C in Cheltenham last week. When they came out I thought they were a bit dull-looking - I suppose compared to the F1 (which I’ve never seen in real life) but now that they’re an older model I thought it looked quite elegant and understated compared to more recent ones. It definitely has more flowing lines, and noticeably wider than I’d remembered from seeing them before. I think most that I’d seen before were driving, and seen from another car, whereas this one was parked so I was seeing it from a different angle.
I also saw a very aggressive and nice-looking modern Ford Mustang with the Shelby snake logo on it (which had fooled me into thinking it was something Viper-related from Dodge until I checked for this post). It had black and white go-faster stripes and is the most interesting thing I’ve seen on my walk to the supermarket for a while. I guess that makes it a Shelby Mustang GT500 - or possibly the GT350 from previous years, but I think it had the more aggressive grills on the front and was brand new.
I’m not sure if it was a car I saw, but it was being towed by 8 tiny reindeer. That thing was flying!
Not seen in person, but mentioned on either Twitter or Facebook (or maybe a really old zombie here, but I’ve already forgotten) and I find it just fascinating.
Parked in a former Hudson dealer in Bellingham, Mass, for some 50 years. As of last month, anyway.
Nice that it has a handy tow hook.
That is a great thread, but I don’t remember it at all. Thanks for the link.
In a forest preserve parking lot, very clean looking deep maroon 62 Lincoln Continental. Only thing ruining it was the “Don’t Tread On Me” plate.
In a ski area parking lot, a bright yellow Ram pickup with “Tonka” on the tailgate.
A late 60s or early 70s Chevy pickup and a VW Squareback in the same driveway.
It was kind of far away, but I’m pretty sure I saw an Aston Martin Vantage today. But really the interesting thing was that it was painted bright purple.
A boxy Volvo wagon (740?) dressed out in some interesting garb.
But the wheels had a logo similar to the Ferrari prancing horse, but with a Swedish moose!
The moose is definitely an inside joke to Volvo fans. But the need for swede makes me wonder what the owner wants with a bunch of rutabaga (which the English call swede). 
It was a 240, I saw it again today.
I also saw a Hummer H1 in bright yellow. What a ridiculous vehicle for the suburbs.
Maybe not. How are the street conditions there?
In '91 or so, one some car magazine – likely Road & Track – published a list of the top five vehicles for driving around NYC. The HUMVEE – this was before there was a such thing as the Hummer – was #1 due to being the best able to handle all the potholes.
A nice Mercury Cougar, either 1967 or 1968, I’m not sure which. Definitely not a 1969.
^^^ Can anyone tell what year it is? I have about 10 pics of it on imgur.
Thanks in advance!
