Bright blue new Equinox, re-painted (definitely not just a wrap), with a construction company logo. Interesting move. Must be their specific color.

It appears you've seen a MOUNT CONSTRUCTION vehicle. They're based in southern NJ (Berlin) and can be found everywhere in and around the NJ-PA area. All of their vehicles are painted that light metallic bright blue:

I've seen some pretty interesting vehicles painted in their blue color!

The guy I work with that I've posted a picture of his red '71 Caddy has brought his '61 Caddy convertible to work today. A crappy cell phone camera shot from his third floor office, for your enjoyment

*UPDATE*

I snapped a close-up shot when I left work yesterday:

Sweet ride. I wonder why people cannot park square in the parking spaces. I would be afraid some moron would ding this lovely lady!

Captiva in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

White, no less.

91 Escort GT white just like I used to own back in the day. That was a hell of a pocket rocket Mazda built for Ford.

An all new Hyundai Azera in white pearl at the King of Prussia mall, looked dealer fresh. Wasn't sure when these were hitting.

At first looked to me like a loaded Sonata then thicker. I stopped to check out closer, in the dark tonight.

SO many today ~

'37 Ford coupe, black, driveway, not running

circa '48 Plymouth coupe, driveway, runner

'48 Nash coupe, black

'53 Buick coupe, black w/ red scallops, parked

pair of '53-55 Ford F-100s, under carport, stuff piled on

'58 Edsel, under low sort of tractor shed, sitting for years

1st gen Corvair flattop sedan, junkyard

'63 Olds 88 coupe, junkyard

'69 deVille convert, project car

I frickin' love rural PA...

'72 Blazer in orange with a soft top (sides rolled up)

Econoline pickup in a medium blue

Early sixties Ford pickup blue and white

International Scout II going fast and topless

All very clean.

'78-'79 Cutlass Supreme coupe in period blue, looking worse for wear, idling in the grocery store parking lot, emitting a distinctive V8 burble.

First-gen (to the USA) Toyota van 4WD, in blue, must have been a panel van, because it had big rectangular swing-out windows. Traveling under its own power through Lancaster. Even had a new muffler. Middle age hippie driver. Definite patina.

Walking over the Seine in Paris today. Here is something I didn't expect to see parked... well... anywhere in Paris.

Then, just up the street I found a Chevrolet Cadillac dealer that doesn't seem to have any new vehicles, but has these two in the window

I also spotted a brand new VW Up!. After seeing it in person, I feel that VW made a serious mistake not bringing this car to the US. VW could have cleaned house with this little car.

I have more pics of this, but I have to erase the guy's registration number before I post them... and it is nearly midnight here. I may go to the VW dealer near my temp flat in Cologne and take a closer look at one.

Wow...Parisian Oldsmobiles. Cool. Reminds me of when I saw a couple '80s Caprices and '80s F-150s in Florence, Italy...

That Up is spunky.

Clean 98 Dodge Durango. A rather large collection of 300 series BMW's in the parking garage. I swear all the engineers are such droids when it comes to cars. Not much variety here in my company parking garage.

I really like that color. Would look great on a sports car.

and that VW Up! isn't bad either. would have made a good Scion iQ/Dumb ForTwo/Mitz iMiEV competitor.

One of 3 Achievas spotted that day! (April 18, 2012)

Toooo faaaassst for y'all! (April 25, 2012)

Ted, Loe the Elky SS you captured and as for the yellow ricer, my Trailblazer SS would eat it up.

First gen Mustang convertible running around Cologne today.

Freakin stuppid Smart Car at lunch today in Seattle. The Drivers of those cars are the worst for driving them freain slow.

Some of my April sightings that I haven't been able to post lately and want to get them in before April runs out:

2012 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW Chasis Cab, Tangier Orange, seen at Flemington Chevrolet-Buick-GMC-Cadillac:

2012 RAM 1500 Express 4x2:

1997 GMC Jimmy SLS 4WD 2-door with 140k for $4,995

My township Fire Marshal's 1970 Chevy Chevelle 396SS that he's owned for twenty years (first time I've spotted it at the fire house):

And a fellow fire police officer/firefighter's 2012 RAM Power Wagon that I've finally been able to snap a pic of:

That's all for now!!

Love the orange Sierra..oh and the 70 Chevelle. Power Wagon looks good too...I don't think I've ever seen one on the road!

'77 Firebird (?) (April 27, 2012)

1952 Buick Special sedan (April 27, 2012)

80-85 X-body Skylark

80's Shelby Charger

Haven't seen those in years

Puerto Rican neighbor had a friend over... with an early (4-headlight front end), longbed red and primer LUV truck! How it survived decades of Northest winters, I'll never know.

Local Dodge dealer is marking down Challengers, sawr a brand new Blue Streak R/T manual on the lot that looks mighty good... hmmm...

And a dark green '80 Monte Carlo with tan interior, tin top and aluminum slotted mag wheels.

'63 Impala of unknown body style; rear end was peeking out from under a tarp in a side yard.

'68 LeMans 2-dr hardtop, EXC condition, black, motor out & nose in the air.

All of these were spotted on the streets of Cologne just today (Saturday)

First up, an Opel Kapitan being used as a wedding car.

Then we spotted this Citroen SM in the city center. Those of you who haven't seen him before, can see my Albert waiting patiently in the background of one of the pictures for his car-freak partner to finish taking pics.

And then this 1938 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe later on in city center:

Also spotted but not photographed was an Audi R8, Nissan Skyline (RHD)

New white 2013 Taurus Limited with NY tags. Small changes but the front end and new wheels improve the presence.

Old light blue Corvair sedan on the street in Philly tonight.

Add in a smooshed red new Camaro 1LT being trucked away from the Chevy store next door to work today. Like an accident but not. More so like an elephant backed into the driver's door and roof.

Citroen-Maserati = France's AMC matador.

^^Too cool in France!

Me...a black 2009 G8 GT Sport cruising beside me from home to work yesterday on 76. I love this car. Still looks so great on the road, and I miss mine daily. Either buying another one or the new Chevy SS in years to come if and when I ever to own a car again...

That Citroen SM is amazing

Monte needs a little TLC (April 28, 2012)

My favorite '55 Bel Air is out and about!!! (April 28, 2012)

Yellow VW Corrado (April 29, 2012)

Red first-gen Econoline van, white bumpers and all, restored and tooling around town. A treat.

A black Isuzu Ascender with Texas plates.

It recently was "ugly green day"... first saw a 4th gen Trans Am in neon snot green... but was unable to get a shot of it... but I did catch this snazzy seafoam green Cavalier with black stripes.

Saw a beige 4x4 early '60s Dodge Power Wagon wagon...big humpy thing that kind of resembled a mid-50s Suburban style body.

Saw a very cherry 88 suburban at the park and ride. I think the person must have just finished restoring it as the interior was spotless and the paintjob was perfect along with the underside being so clean you could eat off it. Had I think an 8 inch lift. was very nice.

Also saw and talked with a guy who has a 93 GMC 2500 suburban. His was redone for total off roading and ease of cleaning out. The whole body inside and out was covered in LineX. He says he never has to worry about scratches or moldy carpet. He has rubber floor mats on top of the LineX sprayed on the inside. Even the door panels are covered in the stuff. Pretty amazing black Suburban with limo tinted windows.

Two very nice and yet totally different rides.

More new Chevy Captivas everywhere. On Sunday, another Mocha Bronze "loaded" one with AWD and V6 badging, a younger couple driving around. This was the 4th I had seen in 2 days. Thankfully, still a very nice design from Saturn/Opel that lives on freshly.

2012 Chevy Equinox in black, blacked out windows, Powder coated black rims with v6. Very cherry of a ride.

Can you buy a Captiva retail now?

Can you buy a Captiva retail now?

Not sure of the answer, but our sales reps (pharma company) are allowed to use their company-purchased vehicles for personal uses too, in addition to work duty. So it's possible that someone driving a Captiva could be driving a company car on personal time.

While that may be true, I can't imagine someone buying a Captiva 3.0 LTZ AWD for $31k as a company vehicle.... and yes, those are available.

It's odd. Those are mostly all I see. One day last week I finally saw 2 "lower" models with gray lower cladding and painted, not polished wheels. Looked dead on like a Saturn Vue XE. Otherwise, mostly loaded and V6'd with dual exhaust.

I've only seen two up here and they were both the lower end models with the 4cyl, but they appeared to be company cars rather than part of a rental fleet.

So far I've spotted two in my company's parking lot, one more of the basic variety and the other of the more upscale variety. With my pharma company paying, most of the reps go top-of-the-line with their vehicle purchases.

Yeah, but if you're going to do that, why not just get a 'Nox or Terrain?

WOW, Out my window at work, I see a 2 year old Nissan Tundra smoking and dropping oil. I can see the drops on the rain covered streets. Sad when a person abuses their ride and ends up with burnt rings, smoke out the tailpipe and dripping oil on the street.

I had tremendous, glorious (and all too brief- 10 mins) enjoyment piloting this baby around this morning.

Felt like a Saudi prince (whatever that feels like ) :

Back seat was cavernous, as were the rear door openings. Note the lit retractable writing tables & carpeted foot rests. That's a giant slab of solid American Walnut on the doors. Upholstery was some amazingly thick material, still smooth & soft in an obviously unrestored car.

THIS is what mercedees benchmarked when they took 3 decades to bring the s-class up to American luxury standards.

I am going to have ask his bottom price, initially he said he was going to ask $5500.

There is a new Car Spotters thread, ahem sirs.
