A Maserati SUV. I didn’t even know they made such a silly thing.
I also saw a very low-slung sporty thing that I couldn’t identify, as it went by too quickly. It was yellow, had loud pipes and kind of a boxy rear end, definitely not American made. Maybe a Lambo?
Friday was the first truly summer weather day here in the Twin Cities. Therefore it was bring your sport car to work day. The Corvettes were everywhere on the road, but I also spotted several Porsches (different models) a couple of Maseratis, and a lone, rustbucket, Fiat X1/9.
An early 1950’s Plymouth sedan, not in great shape but functional.
And an early 1960s Saab 96 in prime shape.
All in all, a good commute home.
A couple of weeks ago I passed a Willys Jeepster in Seattle. 30 or 40 miles north (around Mount Vernon – Skagit County, anyway) I saw another one headed south.
A Honda Civic with a prismatic wrap.
On my walk this morning I saw a '67 big block Corvette. It was in pretty good shape but appeared to be an unrestored “barn find”.
A self-driving Uber Volvo. Temp, AZ.
Last night, a Plum Crazy '69 Dodge Super Bee. Was waiting for a bus on my way home from shopping and she stopped in the far lane at the light so I got a good look and listen. Probably had a 440.
I didn’t actually see it (other than on my 'puter screen) but Porsche has built the 1,000,000[sup]th[/sup] 911!
Nice - though I would not have expected it to be green.
Seen at the Carlsbad Caverns Visitor Center this morning, a Morgan Aero.
Nice!
My sighting for the day was a quick glimpse of a sky-blue DeTomaso Pantera, crawling north on the 15 in rush-hour traffic.
An Edsel. A freaking Edsel!
I saw a Chrysler TC by Maserati parked on a Chicago streetast weekend.
It was that same cream color as in the top photo here:
I hadn’t seen another one in ages.
Don’t see many here in lowly Akron OH. Was in DC last week. Better for spotting. Lotus convertible, but couldn’t tell you more. Tesla S3.
A beautiful, absolutely gorgeous 1959 Chevy Impala 2-door sedan.
A 1968 Ford Ranchero with a 289, great condition, next to me at a stoplight.
Jaguar E-type.
Beautiful upscale British saloon filling up at a 7-Eleven gas station yesterday. Only saw the rear as I passed but it was definitely either a Rolls or a Bentley and at least 50 years old.
I saw a car today that has to be the rarest car I’ve ever seen, or at least what’s left of it, in what to all appearances is an abandoned car lot: a Crosley Hotshot! The engine is intact but the hood is missing, and the top is virtually nonexistent, but it’s restorable if that’s your thing.
Also on that lot is a battered but restorable Mercury of (I think) early '60s vintage, a clean Subaru SVX with 4 flat tires, and a pristine used Mercedes mixed in with a battered fire truck and various other heavy equipment. I need to get pictures, it has to be seen to be believed.
Who would have a lot that they have to pay property tax on, that they have to mow and otherwise keep up, with cars they could potentially sell, but nobody’s home and the cars are left to rot? It makes no sense.
