Everything sold I believe, except an old bicycle and a box of misc junk…

Saw some nice cars on July 8th ... This Chrysler 300 looks great in black, though I don't like dark colors for cars. It just plain works for the 300. I was able to see the nicely detailed dashboard (I've rented a 300 before and reviewed it). I am amazed how Chrysler was able to take the same platform and powertrain and create 2 amazing cars (the Charger and the 300) on it, while having markedly different personalities. Maybe they are like a set of fraternal twins. These 2 cars made me notice Chrysler again, given that the brand had been a write-off for me for many years. I will miss their being available as brand new purchase options. - - - - - Another brand that I have now liked for quite a while is Volvo. This is a fine looking sport sedan. Volvo worked effectively to shed it's dowdy tree hugger image and go upmarket. This wouldn't be at the top of my list, but it's the sort of car I like. So, in shedding this image, they chucked it right at Subaru! Now, with some new models I've seen, Subaru is trying to shed their stereotyping. They're better off doing that. - - - - - 1. Berkeley student Patty Hearst gone wrong 2. Volvo as the car of choice for frumpy counterculture types 3. Granola at hand in one's car 1 + 2 + 3 = things from the '70s people probably want to forget

Seen over Fourth of July weekend. I don't know my FoMoCo products as well as GM ones, but I guessed right ... it was a 1962. The owner, who ducked out of the way so I could take the photo, confirmed that. Impressive condition.
