18 1986-1990, CHMSL

47 Chevy C-Series ( C-30 ? )
48 Dodge Ram Van
seen yesterday... maybe a zoom failure ( well, it does have one but i don't know if it is the reason for blurry pic here ) , maybe i just wanted to do it too fast ( i thought my light would change before his ) . I don't know if it is a S or GT either . i wanted to crop the pic more but just realized there is a M3 aside of it

That is 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe, model 1847.
That is 1969 Ford F-Series.
That is 1968 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe
That is 1970-72 Ford F-250
Sorry, Reg. It is 1982-86 Ford F-Series.
Isn't this Oldsmobile taillight?

#18 - Yes, it's a Custom Cruiser. Can't really tell if it has the silver cover over the C-pillar, I'm thinking no, which would make it a 1986-87.
#19 - Has the 1981+ taillights. 1981-82 were Marquis, 1983-85 were Grand Marquis. I can't make out the badge.
#24 - Looks like a Mitsubishi, either a Mighty Max or early Dodge D50/Plymouth Arrow Truck
#28 - Looks like the 1987-88 taillights

That clip with the station wagon I dug up from 2015, sitting deep inside my pictures folder. I had long forgotten what the front of the wagon looked like as I saw it gaining on my tail real fast. I just pulled to the side and let him pass me. He ended up illegally overtaking the car ahead of me moments later...
#19 Oops you're right...Night cub strikes again
#24 Duh on my end...the original file name when I uploaded it to imgur was "mitsubishimightymax.png"....again, I was very tired

I parked in front of this yesterday. i usually don't take pics of RVs but with its Acadian/Aspen/Spirit- inspired tail lights and the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang sidemarker ( or really inspired by it ) made me thought it was older but i found out it is 1987-1992 ( older ones i found have a different grille and vertical tail lights ) . i remember seeing those tail lights on a RV but i didn't remember ever seeing the front of it
Was it near the Olympic Park, perhaps ? I'm asking because I took pics of a LeSharo in that area, during my 2012 trip to Montreal, just before visiting the Biodome.

of course, since their main purpose is travel, could be the same..

Inside album art for Linda Ronstadt's 1978 album "Living in the USA"...would I be correct in deducing that the passing car is a 1975-77 Honda Civic?

I saw a lot of interesting cars today, mostly Saabs. A second gen 9-5 wagon on top of a Solstad-SAAB flatbed truck, a few 95, both two-stroke and V4's and a Toppola equipped 900OG. Some Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium reg Saabs.
I realized that the SAAB Festival probably is this weekend so I went to a big parking garage near the hotels downtown Trollhättan:

1-DUH-094 is YS3AD75S5N7012566, a 1992 convertible.
That's a serious drive to Sweden... He should do the 2000 kilometers to Finland where it was really built.

just seen coming out of the Pie-IX bridge.. sadly no pic as i was too late to get the camera on Fiat Punto
don't ask me how it ended up here, i don't know.. but i don't know any little hatchback sold in NA to have the tail lights in such position...
might be this one http://www.kijiji.ca/v-autos-camions/ville-de-montreal/1997-fiat-punto-6-vitesse/1265256847 , it was exactly like that and i don't think there is dozens of this..

On my way home, I saw a white 1990-1991 Lexus ES sitting at a stoplight. Didn't get my camera out because I looked over when the light turned green and saw it. And it looked to be in showroom condition.

Just bought this from an elderly couple in Tucson AZ:
1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88, runs and drives. No rust. 117K miles. One-owner, they bought it new in Calabasas, CA in 1978. I drove a considerable distance to seal the deal so now I just need to ship it back here...
