I found some new yard ornaments today. These weren't there a few months ago.
Car pics too cool not to share

I like the ol' Dodge truck. That many-door '57 would make a nice commuter car. What's that green thing?

Riding flat and not in a depression.
My Dad worked out a deal for who knowns what… had a ‘68 A1, that was painted ‘Cat’ yellow by the PO. and
had it dropped off at our house when my sister and I were in school. Mom was at work.
And it was not in driving condition. The motor, trans, t/c, diffs, and half shafts we’re fine.
However, the lower A arms were torched in half. And the PO’s fix was less than desirable.
Our fix was little better and not too bad. And still 24 volts.

If I didn't have to have a newer, fuel efficient car for work, I think I'd have an old 4-door as my driver.

I used to drive a Montego Light Rose (pink) '65 Rambler Classic 660 wagon as my daily driver about fifteen years ago. Before that, a multi-hued (Calico!) '66 Rambler Classic 770 2-door hardtop was my daily. Folks at work thought I was nuts. It was always a hoot to see a sea full of Lexus, BMWs and Cadillacs in the company parking lot, with my Rambler thrown in the mix. I still think about doing that again. It would be a great way to finish out my last few years, here.If I didn't have to have a newer, fuel efficient car for work, I think I'd have an old 4-door as my driver.
That's the way to do it!
Just remember, statistics say that ~75% of late model luxury brand vehicles (BMW, Lexus, Mercedes etc.) are rented, so they don't even own those cars they think are impressing random strangers.

There are folks here driving cars that cost more than I paid for my house. If they are actually buying them, then I don't know how they do it, or why. I could do the same, I guess, but I elect not to. To each their own!That's the way to do it!

My CPA taught me years ago that renting a vehicle is nothing but expensive financing.That's the way to do it!

Anybody recognize these? I've only seen a few in person at special events. Pretty rare to see one in the wild.
OP
I've seen plenty of the third one (maybe six or seven of 'em in my life), but only pics of the first two. All beautiful examples there, my friend. Love 'em!
