Saw a white '63 Falcon Futura sedan in traffic yesterday in good condition...driven by a 20 something girl.

Retirement age couple in a shiny new silver Datsun NV200, with second row glass.  I share their perverse attraction for tiny vans, although I believe the Ford is the best looking.  They are certainly useful little burros.

'67 Merc Cougar, med blue, sitting with eyes open, looked like a long term 'sit', in driveway.

[balthazar]

Got the FOB for this for a few days :

This was clearly a guy in his 60's and drove it like he was going to hell. It was lovely, sounded and looked great.

Sitting at a light, I saw a gorgeous gold '66 Lincoln Continental convertible waft past, top down, 4 people out enjoying a cool sunny Saturday morning...

Jealous. I'll be getting one in a few weeks for an evaluation.

[balthazar]

Super nice, not sure of the trim level, but it had cloth inserts on the dash. No doubt it'll thrill the 'touchy-feely' crowd but it's not the best choice for longevity/cleanliness.
Other than that, it IS a world of difference between our '09. Nice ride.

Still cannot see what it is? Weird but for some reason some JPGs just do not show up. What auto did you drive for a few days?

In San Diego for the week, was walking back to the hotel and a Fiat 500e pulled up next to me. I know California is one of the few markets Fiat is willing to sell the 500e in. I will have to say way quieter than a Nissan Leaf. Amazing at how quiet the 500e is. Still BUTT UGLY, but Quiet.

dfelt : '16 Malibu.

 

Saw a '37 Packard convertible, top down, silver w/ red fenders…. if it was restored, it was a few decades ago- was rock solid but not a show car, WWWs were hella-scuffed. Slogging thru 5PM rush-hour traffic, small NY State town.

[cletus8269]

a little old lady driving a 2 dr emerald turquoise 67 malibu. in remarkably great shape. obviously a regularly driven vehicle but well maintained. i wouldnt be surprised if she bought it new.

[balthazar]

'37 Chevy coupe, black, under restoration/modification (had "Corvette engine"), in back bay of equipment repair shop.

[Intrepidation]

Ford GT not once but twice last week.

[balthazar]

'66 Merc Monterey 4-dr hardtop, super clean & straight, green-tinged dark blue, in driveway taking in some spring sunshine.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a dark blue late 80s Ford F350 Centurion (aftermarket crew cab/Bronco mashup). 

[balthazar]

1965 GTO, 389 Tri-Power 4-spd (documented), Bluemist Slate blue, black interior, aftermarket Radir 5-spokes. Very nice driver, presentable. My brother's car.

[G. David Felt]

Humours day for the Hybrid, Electric, SmartCar parking situation in Seattle.
