Went out car hunting today, got a few things I was looking for;
"Chrysler" Intrepid. I wanted a second generation one, but this is the only one I found parked.
Corolla Taxi. I would have got closer, but the driver was asleep inside.
These are the most common taxis around here, the second most common are American minivans (mostly Caravans). There used to be a lot of FWD Impalas and Malibus, but they seem to have been fazed out.
More stuff for taxiguy. I thought this car looked sort of unusual, there's no light strip along the bottom edge of the trunk lid, and no trim along the sides.
No badges either. Weird.
I couldn't get a good picture of the front end, because that's somebody's lawn there. It looked normal though.
I just happened to be reading about Hyundai yesterday, it said they didn't sell these in the US.
They're getting pretty uncommon here, they rust out really easily.
Wow! It's an automatic!
I used to think it would be really cool to tune one of these up, because it came with a 4G63 (Lancer Evo engine). Turns out I read it wrong, they came with a 4G36 (1.2L, maybe 60hp). I still think it's a cool idea.
Here's a Parisienne, not pre-'83, but I was surprised to even find this one. I don't think it runs.
And here's the reason I went out in the first place:
This place often has nice cars out front, but this is by far the rarest/most expensive.
Edit: Taxiguy; went out again, got a Firefly (sedan! rare) and a Pontiac... Uh, Corsica. Tempest? Whatever. The camera doesn't work with my computer, I'll upload the pictures later.
