Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

I went down to see my friend at his boat club, and stumbled upon this guy.

What is it?

Chrysler PT Cruiser.

That particular one is a 2003 with the naturally aspirated 2.4 engine.

There was a 2.4 turbo option for the GT models, however this isn't one of them.

TB member @68Goldfish owns or has owned a PT Cruiser or two, he would be my go-to for info on them.

Ran into this neat Citroen GSA on my walk. Hardly ever see these here.View attachment 4704903

Only 3 lug nuts holding a 15" wheel on?? Even with the wide bolt pattern it seems kinda scary to me.

Can you imagine how futuristic these must have seemed when they first came out?

Especially with the self-leveling suspension.

Yeah, those French are minimalists!
The car is actually much smaller than it looks in the picture. It has a little air- cooled engine in it. I think they just used the hubs off the 2CV(picture below).
BTW, the car has the same type of hydro pneumatic suspension as th big DS and SM models!

When I was a kid we went to Europe and those little Citroen's were all over. I thought they looked like VW beetles that had been crushed sideways.

I can remember I saw the first one in the early 70's. Johan Cruyff (famous Dutch soccer player) owned one of the first.

In the parking lot of a local park yesterday:

Saw this nice American car a few years ago. I don't even know what it is, but I think it's beautiful.

1965 Chevy Impala.

 

[jchrisk1]

Saw this today. 54-55 I believe.

Little car show in our neck of the woods.

 

[Michael Jewels]

Your neck of the woods looks very nice, kesslari!

And, I'm proud of myself; I thought that red, white and blue car that looks like a camaro was an American Motors AMX, and it was.

My son's 52 Pontiac Chieftan. Let's just say, "looks can be deceiving".

Is the first car a vintage Volvo?

68 Z-28 = 302/290 hp small block Chevy engine, correct?

By the way, I didn't cheat and look this up. 60s and 70s muscle cars were part of my youth.
