Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

I think we have a winner! :hyper:

I googled, 1950 Citroen, and the picture below appeared.

I was just guessing at the year, but I'd say that's close enough.

I would never have guessed, Citroen.
Thank you very much, ShawnG!

That model Subaru (don't remember the letters) was a really cool, forward-thinking car!

Yes, it was, and I wonder whether it was partly inspired by an earlier Saab concept, the EV-1. I'd long-since forgotten about that Saab, but saw this recent article about it, and noticed some resemblance to the SVX, especially the aircraft-inspired windows:

The Saab EV-1 Concept Was an EV in Name Only

Man, I still miss Saab. My old 9-5 Aero was an absolute beast.

Went for a short walk today, and came across this wonderful old Volvo wagon one neighborhood over from mine. In the interior, you can see the manual shifter, nice leather dash, and the radio placed in front of the passenger, which is an interesting design choice. Knowing Volvo's safety focus, they probably didn't want the driver adjusting the radio on the go, but I think we all know how that played out.
