:love:

It was not in pristine condition though (a little rust, but nothing unfixable I think)

Anyway check out this rusting old 1967 Chevy Van. The thing looks like it used to be an old telephone company truck:

The "Barockengel" has disgusting wheels, but anyways, it's great, that such a rarity has survived.

You really should have always and everywhere a camera with you, even when you go to the bakerman or to the office. I didn't, so I failed again to photographe the rare Nissan Sunny Van, which is running somewhere around my village and also the Tatra(!)-truck with the large drilling string, which was used on the parking area of my company (to check the ground for old cellars, bunkers or mine-adits, as a new building is planned). I just have found a wee pic on their homepage: http://www.schuetzeichel.de/html/maschinenpark.html

Chevrolet Caprice LS Brougham - I don't see these Caprices very often anymore, but the vinyl roof really made this one stand out as unusual.

1986-1989 Dodge Aries K - Another one you hardly ever see anymore. The old Avis rent-a-car sticker (presumably from when the car was new) in the window is a neat detail.

And some from last weekend in San Jose, California:

1966 Plymouth Valiant

http://i39.tinypic.com/j7qmj8.jpg

2005 Nissan 350Z Jedi Starfighter, license plate OBISHWN (according to www.bar.ca.gov and Google, he used to have a Honda Civic Del Sol similarly customized)

I also saw a Chevrolet Corvair Rampside pickup, but wasn't able to get a pic.

What kind of idiot has R2-D2 and an Imperial insignia together?

Notice the Open Circle emblem on the fuel filler. He's going for a Republic Clone Wars-era Jedi starfighter: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Open_Circle_Fleet

Count the spokes. 8 spokes is the Galactic Roundel used during the Republic era: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Roundel

The Imperial Crest had 6 spokes: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_crest

I'm just trying to provide clarification; I'm not trying to start an argument.

The grill has a "P" at the top, so I've concluded it's a Plymouth of the same year.

I went to a Hot Rod Show on the Australia Day weekend, lots of high quality metal there! The photos are on my Facebook Photography page: https://www.facebook.com/RaidPhotography
Check it out :smile:

I go to multiple racing events as well, so if race cars tickle your fancy, I have them as well.

At the hardswarestore in my village. I was in hurry and it was raining, so I haven't checked its loading capacity :smile:
In France, Holland and Belgium these microcars are a common sight, but here they are quite rare. The tiny moped-plate shows, that it has max.50ccm.

A couple weeks ago I saw an AMC Eagle driving and that is a sight to behold. It seemed to have even more clearance than usual.

Nothing too special, but you don't see these too often anymore. I spotted and managed to get a snapshot of a 1980s (not sure what year exactly) Cadillac Coupe DeVille in a parking garage in West Palm Beach, FL

The plate may cause a bit sadness for antp, chicomarx and rjluna2. It shows, that this is just a bad-weather-winter-car. Registration and insurance are valid only between the 1st Nov and the 31.March each year.

Maybe outside that period he uses another Saab, more "valuable", e.g. a convertible :wink:
