Car pics too cool not to share

Drivers side was a Arco gas station, & truck only had 5K miles on it.
Passenger side was Safeway parking lot. I stopped letting her drive the truck after that.
No it was Yellow so it had to be one of the guard posts around something.
I'm telling you, they're invisible and just pop up out of nowhere. If you don't believer me, ask your daughter or squatch's daughter.

Believe me I know.... Funny thing I've never had one jump out at me before.
It was that damn dually ya know.
1935 Peugeot 401 D Eclipse Electrique featured an electrically-operated retractable hardtop decades before the 1957 Ford Skyliner.
79 were produced.

I sold a '66 Rambler Classic 2-door hardtop to a guy about twenty years ago. It was a super-straight, clean car, and had been my daily driver for a couple of years. Anyway, he got into an argument with his girlfriend while at a store, and ended up slamming the big yellow concrete base of a light pole in the parking lot. Hit it hard enough to kink and crumple the driver's side rear quarter panel, effectively totaling the car.
I found this one today stashed behind a house. It's an odd car for around here. Considering everything else, I'm guessing it will die where it sits.

I had one of those in highschool with a 232 and auto. Fun car
OP
They're not that uncommon in my area. The 1800ES, on the other hand, is somewhat harder to find. I actually prefer the ES to the coupe, myself.

Mine was a 287 V8, with the 4 bbl intake off a 327, and an Edelbrock 600 on it. I also dropped the front end 2" with some lowering plates that allowed me to move the spindles upwards. I loved that car, and yet don't believe I have a single picture of it...

They cruised so nice with the coil suspension. Sold it when the second transmission i put in lost some gears.
The last i saw of it was in a junkyard,roof caved in with a v8 sitting on it. Made me sad
I'm a big fan of Goodwood Circuit and the vintage racing held there, not so much the Festival of Speed (though I quite like the name). Anyway, here's a series of Can-Am cars of varying vintage running both the circuit and hill climb. Of particular note would be the fourth car in the video, the McLaren M20, not so much for the car but the driver. "R. Attwood" is none other than Dickie Attwood and he was probably 78-80 years old for this run...and he still makes appearances in historic racing events to this day.
Gotta love those Lola T70 spyders (though I was actually a big Chapparal/Jim Hall fan). USRRC and early Can-Am was just a sweet spot in motorsport history.
