Don't think I've seen one of these in 10 years or so...


Nice, there are still a few hundred of them alive here in SoCal (as Ford Festiva's).

2018 Toyota Camry - Fresh off the boat, they said these were the only 3 in Virginia. They won't be alone for long.

I thought most Camry's we get here in the US of the last decade or so were made here in the US?

7&10 might be safer to just call them F-Series for now
12 How could you ? now Chevy guys are gonna be mad at you and Ford guys too ! :lol: ( 1982-1986 Ford F-Series.. F-150 ? )

18 1986-1990, CHMSL
21 thanks for the attention...but it's a Celica ( don't worry, i still like it :smile: ) Supra had the reverse lights in the middle or , 1984-some 1986 ( new gen came in 1986 too ) had them like this ( i think the pictured one is 1985, there was a spoiler change somewhere ) Celica is 1982-1983
23 not fully sure but i think this tail gate was 1989-1992 .. but i might be wrong
25 1984-1986 grille
29 BMW 3-Series
44 not GS ( but i had to dig to find out :whistle:
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

Isn't this Oldsmobile taillight?
30/05/2017 @ 19:42:04: night cub: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
#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
31/05/2017 @ 05:14:11: Reg1992: interesting/funny/special cars sightings

Sorry guys! :sweat: I was really sleepy when I was posting these...didn't see the obvious Ford logo right in the center of the grille...

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. :grin: He ended up illegally overtaking the car ahead of me moments later... :lol:

#19 Oops you're right...Night cub strikes again :grin:

#24 Duh on my end...the original file name when I uploaded it to imgur was "mitsubishimightymax.png"....again, I was very tired :huit:

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.
31/05/2017 @ 19:40:59: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
no, it was near Henri-Bourassa boulevard, between Papineau & Pie-IX bridges

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

^ I see old VW Beetles in that color often.

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.

Today I saw an old Shelby Cobra, a 1960s Mercedes, a 1968 Cadillac and a 1969 Chevelle SS.

I was only able to get a picture of the Chevelle:

just seen coming out of the Pie-IX bridge.. sadly no pic as i was too late to get the camera on :angry: :bombe: 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.
13/06/2017 @ 03:15:41: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
wow.. the Lexus ES 250... i'm starting to believe i'll never see one of those again....

@ Exiv96 : is the LeSharo you saw near the Olympic Stadium having red stripes ? because i just saw one tonight in the same area where i took the blue stripe one's pic.. i thought those things were a rare sight... :smile:

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...
