Dog Days - August

[ocnblu]

Hehe, I'll always remember the TV commercial. The new Justy owner pulls into the driveway, and a pair of nerdy twins each ask consecutively: "Does it have a motor? Does it have a motor?"

[Sixty8panther]

Let me get to my own and catch up:

-'59 Buick done up whiteboy-lowrider style, First time ever seeing one live on the road

Photo??? Damn I'd love to see a B-59 other than my own on the road!

-STUDEBAKER TRUCK!!

-the newest Aston Martin, kinda sexy

-'56ish Pontiac

-A 50's luxury coupe I couldn't discern whether the make was Lincoln or Studebaker (had the badge "Gran Turismo")

-'69 Buick Electra 225 in the slummy part of downtown, FOR SALE!! $1500! (albeit packed with junk...the guy called me back but didn't leave his number)

-'72ish CDV, FOR SALE!! $3000! (87.5% more than the '72 SDV for sale back in February, but body looked straighter)

-'69 Bel Air wagon (had me wishing someone had a Delta 88 version)

-'72ish Ninety Eight dubbed up (like it should be, it's 2007, stock or dubbed up is what should be up)

-'82ish Imperial

-'69 Imperial sedan

-A Chysler coupe for somewhere in the mid-60s, I can't find the pic of.

Damn, threads like this make me wish I lived in California!!!

hey 68...I noticed that the B-59 in your photo has a B-pillar...what gives?

[vonVeezelsnider]

a Maserati Quattroporte speeding down the highway outside Calgary.

A beautiful chopped two-tone purple 1950 Ford coupe, very authentic 1950's-1960's style hot rod with 401 Buick nailhead power, dual spotlights, '59 Cadillac hubcaps, frenched lights front and back. Very cool.

hey 68...I noticed that the B-59 in your photo has a B-pillar...what gives?

Smart-ass.

See I've got 1959 Buick Electra 225 Riviera 4-door HARDTOP (with 401/4bbl nailhead) for $24,000 taste

buuuut......I'm on more of a 1959 Buick LeSabre 2 door sedan 364/2bbl BUDGET. (ACV: ~$7,000)

When you search for a classic car for a few years & come up short money wise on even

marginall restorable cars that have not run in several years and are in very serious

disrepair you start to get less picky, when a gorgeous car comes along that runs, drives,

stops, turns, heats in the winter and its wipers clean the windshield in a rainstorm while

the frame & body are in decent-to-excellent condition you do not pass it up over a

technicality. now if this was 1987 instead of 2007 I'd be driving a 2-door Invicta on the

weekends and I'd have a E-225 Electra Riviera for a daily driver.

But there's a chance I may get closer to my dream car soon... a gentleman who happens

to own a 1959 Buick LeSabre 4-door FLATTOP hardtop just might be trading me straight

up for my POST sedan bubbletop. It's not a done deal just yet but there's a very strong

possibility that my LeSabre will be living out it's retirement in the mid-west while I get a

very nice, all original Colorado hardtop.

Make sense?

Finally spotted an '08 VUE that WASN'T white (black)

[Sixty8panther]

In front of Toyota of Nashua. (no he was NOT looking at Tundras... or any Toy-oh-dur!)

[DetroitNut90]

The SS United States, USS Olympia, Penn's Landing, Franklin Square, and a Quattroporte.

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw this while taking a bike ride...

[DetroitNut90]

Another Quattroporte (gunmetal grey/red leather), though I didn't see this one in Philadelphia.

[Cory Wolfe]

As well, I saw a recently purchased Enclave strolling around at the Toyota dealership.

As well, I saw a recently purchased Enclave strolling around at the Toyota dealership.

That's akin to Jessica Biel sauntering by a Weight Watches meeting, isn't it?

[Sixty8panther]

I left for work today at noon (1-9pm schedule today) and as I pull

out of Skyline Drive onto Mammoth Road in my B-59 guess what I

see parked curbside?

I wish it had been in a parking lot so I could have taken some pics.

of my LeSabre side by side with this gorgeous ragtop, even though

it's just a lowly Chevy next to my Regal Buick.

I've got a lot more sighting pics. comign soon.

[K.C.]

66 Toronado, light blue/light blue. It was gorgeous.

[XP715]

1940 Buick Century sedan restored to factory perfect

[SuperSport623]

a beautiful c4 corvette... definatley not stock.... driving down the long island expressway, it was in front of me... i spot the cage inside, the wonderful exhaust note only found in high compression, high cube motors, a parachute mounted between the taillights, and best of all, a license plat mounted to the wheelie bars... i dont know how legal it is, but its great!

[Robert Hall]

I'm headed off to Ohio tommorow for the holiday weekend, will probably go to a car show or two over the weekend..I'm always amazed at the old cars I see at car shows in those small towns..

[toesuf94]

It must be the Dodge Days of summer right now, as yesterday a spotless Dodge Lancer GTS Shelby went by us - and this morning a Dodge Conquest went by - both are actually attractive now. Saw a nice Horizon yesterday...that hurt MY ears as I said that...and yesterday I saw the ugliest Ford Fairmont in red and maroon two-tone with matching interior. Oh! And a Dodge Mirada with the original owner AND her wrap around cataract glasses. It was after looking at those two I realized why the Japs were able to get a toe hold on the US Market.
