Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

[Razman]

Saw this walking to my Jeep from the bank today. Owner bought it 30+ years ago from an elderly gent - it's cool in my book.

Saw this bad boy in downtown Eureka, Montana yesterday. Back in the day I woulda given my left leg for a ride just like this one.

That reminds me of the Ranchero vs. El Camino debate. Personally, I prefer the longer, curvier look of the Ranchero, but I wouldn't kick either one of them out of my garage!

Yes, it's cool. However that car seems disproportionate and bloated looking to me, but then again I'm a Chevy guy.

Too dark tonight to get a good picture of my ElCamino, I'll grab one tomorrow morning and post it up.

I tend to like the El Camino's more - for most of the series.
Though I do not particularly like the late 1970's series

A local here has an early '60's Ranchero like this one (but not this one). I do like that.

So there I go, saying I prefer the El Camino, then posting a Ranchero I like and an El Camino that I don't...

I know this isn't the point, but why is the dog wearing an Iron Cross...?

I didn't ask. If you look closely you can see the glue remnants of a small swastika that is no longer there. Must be a true relic. Wikipedia has some interesting info on its history.

My ElCamino.... 68 SS396. One of 5200 or so built out of a total run of 42000 in 1968. Real 138 car and not a clone. I've owned it since 1992 and the last time it was on the road was 2013.

I think one of the reasons I like the Ranchero is because I have a special affinity for '70s "land yacht" cars. Just for looking at, not for driving!

Impressive cars performance wise, but imo they lack the styling, brute force and ignorance that the 60's and 70's muscle cars had.

"...brute force and ignorance..." - I like that phrase!

My wife and I recently visited Harrisburg PA. We rented a car using the "manager's special" option because it was VERY cheap. Usually this results in something pretty big or otherwise not terribly useful for two (like a minivan or a full sized pickup.) This time, we were given the option of a GMC Colorado or this -

(That's my wife. She was annoyed that I chose that moment to snap the pic.)

What IS it?

What IS it?

Polestar 2. Polestar is Volvo's line of (slightly) more affordable electric cars.

They look great!
