This munt, we give thanks for all the cool and unusual vehicles we see in our travels.  Post them here!

1955 Chevy pickup, in that iconic "Game Warden" green with white bumpers and grille, sitting at a muffler shop.  1967 Impala convertible, white with red interior, cruising along.

H-body Sunbird coupe, late model with the horizontal grillework, in brown with tan landau roof and Rallye wheels.  I was amazed to see one in SE PA, where salt kills dreams.

Saw a red VW Clasico yesterday in traffic...basically a revised 4th gen Jetta (different taillights, decklid, rear bumper) with Sinaloa plates..

unknown vintage Triumph TR6, red, nice shape, parked at auto repair garage. MAN these things were tiny! Gauging; I could not fit a closed fist between the steering wheel and the door panel. No thanks.

 

circa '84 Crossfire Corvette, red, lots of green mold all over it, parked at same facility. But it had jaunty chrome spinners mounted in the dish of the factory AL rims.

My ex-brother-in-law #1 had one, a '74ish one...was orange then he repainted it burgundy. I remember riding in it a few times...he moved it from Ohio to Arizona in 1980 w/ my sister. He was constantly working on it, had all sorts of electrical issues.

They're unusual for a Euro 'sports' car- they wear (relatively) oversized tires- makes 'em look purposeful. 

 

I can only imagine owner's guidelines for TR6s are for like WWII submarines; under 5'6" only.

Saw a new '16 Kia Optima in a restaurant parking lot tonight..didn't realize it had been redesigned...the nose is slicker but similar to the previous model, biggest change I noticed is the 6 light greenhouse...

Saw a '64 Cadillac Coupe de Ville in dark gray w/ a red interior in great shape at the mall, except the grille was mashed in...looked like it had had a low speed collision.

House I pass regularly has a gray Aston Martin in the driveway, always parked right next to a mint red '70 Chevelle SS for protection.

Saw a bright green '15 Challenger R/T convertible w black wheels rolling along in traffic, top down. Saw 2 Bentley Continental convertibles, one black, one dark blue. All within a mile along Scottsdale Road near my office

Saw some nice oldies this afternoon, all in minty shape.  A '65 Shelby GT350 in white w/ blue stripes, a white '75-75 Cadillac Eldorado convertible and a dark red '66-67 Lincoln Continental convertible (both top down).

I saw a new Volt in the flesh.

 

I was not impressed. In the photos it looks like a sedan which I loved, but in person you could tell it was a hatchback.

 

Except I'm used to seeing hatchbacks with a steady beltline, but here's it so upswept it just didn't jive well.

 

Even compare it to the old Volt. (heh rhyme) The Beltline is straight as an arrow.

 

I like the old Volt's look with the new one's prowess. 

Kinda looks like the '17 LaCrosse in disguise
