JUNE 2019 CAR SPOTTERS!


Recommended Posts

OK, I'll play your game.  '56 Continental Mark II in perfect shape, black with tan roof, parked in a driveway... in a light rain weather situation.

In other news, we've had a couple Benz GLA 250s traded in the last few weeks where I work.  We sell Hyundai and Mazda at my location.

Saw a sharp 73 Grand Prix. Rolling on Cragar SS mags.  Custom purple-blue paint.  Nice rumble.   - Moltie

Was out doing the lot lizard thing.  Local country dealer has two WT Z71 extended cabs with the chrome bumpers, 18" wheels, Duratrac tires and the plenty able 4.3.  Silver and Shadow Gray.  They are SO NICE.  Sigh.  Want one.

Beautiful weather again on Sunday... saw a sharp 73 Grand Prix. Rolling on Cragar SS mags.  Custom purple-blue paint.  Nice rumble.    Went up to the lake, found a nice local Mexican place for dinner, found some beautiful hilly, twisty backroads (Willoughby Hills/Kirtland, Oh) and on one of those roads saw a new ZR1 (bright orange) zipping along, followed by a clean early 90s C4 convertible in white w/ red interior.   Saw a gorgeous silver w/ blue top '67 Corvette convertible.

Just saw this sharp 71 Impala sport coupe.

A few min later spotted a sharp silver blue 72 Cutlass formal roof coupe in a driveway.    Then later on the way home saw a really clean '86-90 Pontiac Safari wagon in traffic.  Dark blue w/ blond plood trim in good shape, wire wheel covers, whitewalls and mudflaps.  No rust that I could see.

Saw a '90s Roadmaster wagon in dark blue w/ light trim in the service bay at the FCA dealer this morning.   They had a white GC Trackhawk in the showroom, pretty sweet.  Didn't check to see if they had any Gladiators yet, didn't see any.

 I was in getting my 40k service plus oil & filter change, tire rotation, recall fix, etc.  Going back in tomorrow to get the passenger side mirror that I smashed replaced.

Yeah...neat to see a CUV being used like an SUV. (J/K)  And the loading area in front of Ace is on an uphill slope, so you end up loading at an angle.  I loaded some mulch, soil, anti-grub spread, etc in my Jeep along w/ lightbulbs...playing the Mr. domestic suburban homeowner role...

Grubs become lightning bugs.  I stopped killing them years ago when I learned that.

 

It's a wonder those Teslas weren't all red... to match the ink on the balance sheet.

The problem w grubs is the deer dig up the yard looking for them.  Made a big mess last year.

Saw a Cherry Pontiac G6 2 door Coupe on the way to the gym today. Wow, first one I had seen in forever. Had out of state plates, but could not identify them.

Took a drive yesterday out into an area I hadn't been before (Norwalk and Milan, Ohio), saw a variety of interesting older cars..several 30s Model A hot rods rolling along (must have been a car show they were coming from/going to) , a sharp modded dark blue '68-72 Nova w/ an outlaw style hood,  a pair of early 60s Studebaker 4drs in front of an old, closed gas station,  a clean blue '64 Olds Cutlass 2dr ht, and a sharp white '73 Mustang convertible. 

Visited the Thomas Edison childhood home and museum in Milan, Ohio...neat little town w/ several museums.    

Then went up to Marblehead Lighthouse (been there several times) and out to East Harbor State Park and Beach in Marblehead--very windy and blustery on Lake Erie yesterday, but sunny.   Saw a clean white '66 Impala 2dr ht near the beach. 

Ended the day at Firelands Winery in Sandusky for wine tasting...picked up a few bottles for the stash.  Didn't see anything too interesting in the parking lot, though.

Around the corner this morning spotted a house with 2 Corvette Grand Sport coupes in the driveway..a blue w/ white and red striping C4, and a black C7 with pink hashmark stripes on the front fender.

Rainy afternoon, out running weekend errands, took a route home I normally don't go...saw an old Ultra Van RV sitting on a used car lot (these had a Corvair engine, I think?).  Also saw a clean dark blue mid 90s Roadmaster wagon and a yellow '16+ Camaro SS.

1960's VW conversion dune buggy, with a giant fiberglass shark attached up top to the rollcage (longer than the buggy itself!), motoring down a 4 lane highway, piloted by a 70+ year old dude, just lovin' life.

Say this, right hand driven car, the driver was a striking Brunette, reminded me of Mediterranean. Any idea what kind of car it might be?

Studebaker 2R5 / 2R10, '49-53

I would have gotten more pictures if I did not have to be some place. Very cool that he was using it to get stuff at the local Home Depot. SHARP LOOKING Truck! :) 
Thank you for letting me know the age, I have no idea.

Beautiful weather this weekend...was out exploring some areas in the national park and metro parks nearby, on winding backroad was stuck behind a slow moving 2nd gen Honda Insight with the license plate 'Stimpy'.   Not sure where Ren was.    Saw a couple nice 60s Chevies--a dark blue w/ white stripes '69 Camaro SS, and a clean dark blue '68 Impala 2dr. 

Pics from yesterday...from an overlook over the Tinker's Creek Gorge and from the Tinker's Creek Tavern, overlooking said creek.  Tacos and beer...nice afternoon.

It was early 80s day yesterday here in Pittsburgh.

1. My Toronado was out
2. Early 80s boxy Escort Wagon in decent shape for such an unlovable car.
3. 80 or 81 Pontiac Firebird running well, but visually rough
4. Monte Carlo Aeroback on a trailer, victim of an engine fire.
5. Jeep Wagoneer
6. Some old Benz diesel clattering away ( I think it was a 300D, but that era anyway)

I saw a new Lacrosse driving home last night.  It was white.  I like it better than the chunky 2010-2016 rendition. It had 2 exhaust rectangles.  You could sort of see the suspension's wishbone arms at the rear of the car when it pulled away.   The big demerits, for me, are the seating position, console height, etc.  I ain't 6'-2".  If one were to get it with the new entry-level 2.5 L4, would they still get 2 exhaust outlets … or one?

Today's find here in Seattle.

 

Ah, yes, summer in Seattle … about 2 months of it … but outstanding nonetheless.

Saw a rare one today.  A black ‘87 Buick Regal Turbo T.  Looks like a Grand National, but had the T-Type wheels and different badging.  In great shape at my local frozen custard stand. Also saw a clean bright orange 70s MG Midget.

Saw a mid '70s base Chevy Nova in near perfect condition at a fast food place this afternoon.  Base!  No wheel covers, no mouldings, and no air conditioning.  With all its bare bones, it was probably a 250 c.i. L6 ... which means it will run forever. I'll put up some photos when I sort them.

Nice..was at Home Depot yesterday also....  when I came out,  a black JGC Summit was on my left, and a black '19 JGC Limited X was on my right.  Jeeps seem to cluster together in the parking lots.
