Real nice colour on this one

Excited and thankful our Bella is home! Sadly means the project Cavvie gets parked yet again, but more importantly I can still hug my doggie! ? Maybe I’ll be able to work on the car later this year.....

Reason for the foray was to buy some B-59 bits from a guy who's selling / has restored a number of '59s. He had a job he restored about 20 years ago, but the owner passed so he is going to touch it up and put it on the market : '60 Buick Electra 225 convertible, red w/ red & white interior with A/C. Still in very good restored shape, but needs a bit of attention. He showed me his personal car too, a gorgeous lavender '59 Buick Electra 225 convertible, again with A/C (only 10% had it), and buckets. Highly optioned, show car condition. No pics, he was reluctant to show it to me (we'd never met before today), but I can talk any American car with anyone, and I'm charming. In turn, respecting his privacy, I didn't ask to take any pics.

That would be completely consistent with the Mustang v Camaro rivalry that dates back to 1967. I do wish GM had the guts to actually do just that.

Took a road trip into the Commonwealth of Ocnblu today. Saw TONS of stuff randomly scattered. Beaut of a day today & folks have to be getting itchy. I've never had such a good sighting day. Unfortunately I was drivin / GPS'in, so only got 1 pic : '41 Ford convert, med blue, mint restored, top-down cruising '60 Cadillac Series 62 convert, white, exc shape, top down, gassin' up '68 Olds 442, primer grey, done up drag car/gasser style, rumbling down road circa '70 Chevy C-10 pickup, fenderside, restored stock, light blue, pulling trailer w/ lawn tractor '63 Sport Fury 2-dr hardtop, white, mint restored, cruisin' '72 Torino 2-dr hardtop, medium-dark green, solid but unrestored, parked next to barn circa '60 Studebaker Champ pickup, black, unrestored/tired, parked as advertising by antique dealer '57 Chevy 4-dr wagon, medium-light blue, mint restored, crusin' circa '40 Pickup, grey/teal color, didn't get the make, parked at business '69 GTO 'Judge' convert, looked restored, likely a clone, Orbit Orange, parked at repair shop '69 Dodge Polara 2-dr hardtop, rust & orange, sitting at hot rod shop, tired but still lookin mean '67 Ford Fairlane 2-dr hardtop, dark green, very clean, parked in driveway 70-74 Challenger hardtop, red, saw for a distance but recognized the quarter panel gas cap '55 Chevy gasser, getting pizza in same shop I did :

Looks like # 60517 - "Autumn Bronze Poly". This one is a '68 Firebird 400.

Wow ... beautiful! (Even nicer with that house in the background.) This doesn't look like a factory color ... or is it? Can't tell these apart that easily -' 67, '68, or '69? I wonder if this could be repurposed as a plant to make N95 masks or hand sanitizer ...

I would bet on the hybrids getting it because electric motors in the wheel hubs = AWD.

smk???

Awwww... SWEET PUP.

I like the '21 Escalade 'luxury' trim with the bright grillework. Cadillacs should be shiny. The '90s monocromatic 'sport' version doesn't look great, IMO.

I must concur. The new Escalade front reminds me of the current XT4 and the current XT6. The interior is what will sell the SUV for most people.

Buddy picked up this fire-victim '72 parts car for his '71 Gran Sport project. Not much on it, but reselling the frame alone should have him break even on it. Wasn't sure whether to put this in the 'spotters' thread, or the 'beautiful cars' thread. Tossed a coin :
