August 23, 200718 yr Author 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?"
August 23, 200718 yr 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!!!
August 23, 200718 yr 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.
August 24, 200718 yr Saw a Mary Kay SRX-4 earlier today. Guess Mary Kay is letting you choose your pink Caddy now.

Dodge Polara 2-door hardtop - 1966 Ford Mustang fastback - 1991/2 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham MINT, tripple white... (not the same one from before) - 1984? Honda Accord sedan... some granola-bar driving it who loked like a Hobo, --------- it's been about 5 years since I saw a 1st gen. Accord OUTSIDE of a junmkyard - 1953 Buick Skylark, just a rolling chassis & rotted out shell awaiting restoration behind XP's dad's shop - 2007 Subaru Forester LIMO - about a 10 foot stretch, local Subbi-dealer curtesy shuttle - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop, Macco-quality black paint - 2006/7 Corvette Z06, jet black, tearing up Rt.3 like it was a damn airstrip - 1985-ish Dodge Diplomat, no more than 3 milllion miles! - 1968 Buick Wildcat 2-door hardtop red with a white roof (didn;t see the interior) - another stupid ugly 1970s MG - 2006/7 Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS, raven black, spick-n-span, I guess that's a semi-spot - 2002-6 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ blk/blk with a NICE set of 20" rims.

August 24, 200718 yr 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?
August 25, 200718 yr In front of Toyota of Nashua. (no he was NOT looking at Tundras... or any Toy-oh-dur!)
August 26, 200718 yr The SS United States, USS Olympia, Penn's Landing, Franklin Square, and a Quattroporte.
August 26, 200718 yr Another Quattroporte (gunmetal grey/red leather), though I didn't see this one in Philadelphia.
August 27, 200718 yr As well, I saw a recently purchased Enclave strolling around at the Toyota dealership.
August 27, 200718 yr 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?
August 29, 200718 yr 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.
August 30, 200718 yr 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!
August 30, 200718 yr 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..
August 30, 200718 yr 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.
