I wasn’t saying it does. Just that old SUVs and old pickups with bed caps have exactly the same shape.
Actually, upon even closer inspection, I think this is an SUV. On pickups, with a very few exceptions, the bed is a separate piece from the cab. But on this vehicle there’s no gap between the bed and cab; it’s all integrated. The old K5 Blazer had a removable top, as it was meant to be a competitor to the Jeep Wrangler. I believe that’s what appears to be a bed topper. So I believe this is a K5 Blazer, although this one appears to be missing its Blazer badge.
It has a Chevy 1500 badge.
Yes, Blazers, and Suburbans, and C/K Series pickups from that era all had that badge. Or a 2500 badge if it had the higher payload rating. “1500” isn’t a specific model, it just denotes the payload rating.
Busy weekend in Provincetown, always lots of interesting cars to see.
My personal favorite was a C-101 (1966-71) Jeepster Commando
At Race Point Beach there was a 1969 Chevy Impala convertible with Mississippi antique plates
At the east end of Commercial Street this garage door was open, revealing what I think is a 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible. Of particular note is that the owner had to create extra space in the back wall of his garage in order to fit the tailfins of this beast in the small space.
And spotted on the ride to and from P-town
A 67 Pontiac GTO trailing a 56 Corvette:
Also I assume this is a Karmen Ghia convertible, not sure of the year:
Finally, an early 70s Olds Cutlass Supreme convertible:
Pre '72. I’m thinking '68 or '69.
I saw a 9Z for the first time today.
I’ve still been looking for these. Before yesterday I saw 2 9ZB plates, and then 1 9ZC plate. But then yesterday…
Wait. I have pictures! Stand by…
Yesterday I saw California plates 9ZHC408, and then also 9ZLX279
Hard to pick just one when you have this many to choose from (annual Woodies On The Wharf show, Santa Cruz)
Nice photo of the scene
Cadillac Sedan deVille, probably a 69 or 70, next to the bike path.
Nope; it’s easy to choose. Gotta go with the turquoise one close to you
Imma gonna say it was a tender since technically 4-8-8-4 #4014 is an engine
I posted this about two years ago. A few days ago, I was at work, and looked at the cameras on my house right as it drove past.
I actually stumbled across an older, perfectly restored Datsun 240Z in a deep midnight blue on my way back home this afternoon.
It’s always a trip seeing something like that out in the wild instead of trapped in a showroom. It just had so much more character than the sea of identical modern crossovers and tech-heavy daily drivers sitting in traffic next to it. Hearing that classic straight-six engine growl when the light turned green definitely made my boring commute a whole lot better.
Custom Piaggio Ape, outfitted for a local mobile catering duo. I spotted it at the Boston Tall Ships today.
This scooter lives, at least used to, in my old neighborhood.
Wasn’t there last time Google went through.
