I'll take the former. Oh, wait. I have one of them... in that color... with the same roof rust... and fading woodgrain. Mine has wire wheels, though.

I remember in the 80's when Buick built a wagon like that with a grand National engine in it.

Saw a '77 Buick LeSabre 4dr this morning so clean that I think it was an unrestored original. Bright red w/ white vinyl top, red interior, whitewall tires, stock hubcaps.

I was over in So Cal for the weekend, besides the usual assortment of BMWs, Audis, Mercedes and exotics (saw a couple Bentley Continental convertibles, and someone hooning around in a white Ferrari F430 convertible), I saw lots of interesting oldies, incl:

Red '64 Falcon convertible, top down w/ surfboard in back seat on the PCH in Capistrano Beach seen from my hotel balcony..

teal '64 Falcon wagon w/ woodgrain trim, same location

several nice '64-66 Mustangs, incl. 2 red '66 convertibles, an Ivy Gold '65 coupe w/ vinyl top, a white '65 coupe

customized '61 Lincoln 4dr ht (b-pillar removed, 20 inch or so chrome wheels, two-tone beige and maroon)

customized '62 Lincoln 4dr conv black /w black interior, top down, 22 inch or so chrome wheels

Chopped, custom '37 Ford tudor in black

Three Fiestas at the local dealer... two base model sedans at $16.8k (black and metallic red), and a metallic yellow hatch SES priced at $20.6k!!! Don't get me wrong, the hatch is a nice looking little car... but the price is unacceptable, imo.

Also, a black Kia Rondo with giant chrome bling rims. What a waste of giant chrome bling rims.

We just got 2 in at work. The first Lime Squeeze one sold the first night, I think to an older couple actually. A chunk of the salespeople don't "get it", looks especially, but I think it's a package/driving dynamics thing. Our black one remains, with others in cue.

After the wife's OB/GYN office visit late this afternoon, we ran into a cruise night that I used to frequent when I lived near Hamilton (Mercer County). Here's what I saw:

hahah... don't tell me that you see Dr. Pobleti.....

you're roughly 4 miles from the house I grew up in just off the Whitehorse Circle.

Lets see... a nice day for a drive in Brooklyn...

Pink 1959 Cadillac

Lincoln with suicide doors.

Nice '74ish Impala.

And finally... a Transformers Edition Toyota Previa...

an orange dodge viper vert in a bilo parking lot... not exactly my idea of a grocery getter...

BTW...the Impala conv is a '71, and the Lincoln a '66-67..some cool sightings. Didn't see anything today, worked from home, haven't been out.

Maybe the wife was out in the Caravan or Durango and hubby needed some tofu or soymilk.

Saw '65ish Ford Galaxie ragtop in a driveway I pass all the time. It was obvious that it lives in the garage (open at the time), as I had never seen it before.

You never know what might be stashed behind a door like that.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the car looked really nice in silver with a black top and Ford factory magnum 500 wheels.

That is one of my fav. cars...

Saw a blue 70 Cutty with a black vinyl top driving tonight, was sweet....

Awesome pics, Roger!

Saw a black Seat Ibiza on the freeway this morning. Didn't realize Seat sold cars in Mexico.

Spotted an E-type coupe mouldering away under a ratty tarp in a driveway nearby while hunting for my idiot dog this morning.

Saw a really clean '80 or so Caddy Coupe de Ville when I went out at lunch..no vinyl top, pale yellow, blackwall tires on stock hubcaps.

Fiesta SES sedan in searingly bright green. Not too bad actually.

Yesterday afternoon our first sedan, in bright blue, showed up via dealer trade. Interesting looks as a sedan. Also have a black hatch remaining & a loaded dark red hatch soon to be prepped.

Been seeing a few F-150 Raptors out cruising lately.

Very cool truck.

seen a blacked out dodge durango rt 5.9 in hellen georgia last week.

Saw a new Fiesta hatchback in green on the freeway yesterday, temporary plate. Saw a very clean '77 Malibu 2dr in pale yellow (I think it was a '77, had the stacked rectangular headlights). Also saw a very clean brown w/ tan top '78-79 Cutlass Supreme coupe. And a triple black mid '90s Eldorado ETC convertible.
