Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

More classic American iron, this time an Olds Toronado in Cherry Hill, NJ. It was parked at the mall, but I assume it was connected to the classic car meet across the street. Seems to be in perfect condition, and the gold finish looks great. Check out those rims!

(Also, I tried a Mayones Jabba Custom five with Aguilar pickups at the Cherry Hill GC. It was fantastic. Very enticing.)

Some cousin of mine had one of those back when they were still available new.

I haven't come across any interesting cars in a while.

This is a bit unusual, but I thought some will find it interesting.

In my neighborhood.

Reminds me of the 90's Toyota Previa.

Toyota quality, PITA to service.

Wasn't the engine in the Previa under the cabin, like between the driver and passenger seats? Is that why they were difficult?

Yes.

How about a non Jeep jeep?
Ssangyong Korando 1995.
Saw plenty of these when I was in South Korea.

 

[definenredefine]

Yes.

makes sense

A couple of odd birds around town:

I have seen lots Bimmers and pics of Bimmers, but I've never seen that BMW before, particularly, the tail lights. Interesting!

That's a neat old Bimmer. Never seen one like that before...

427 tall deck under the hood?

Finally saw the guy out front and was able to talk with him. It's got a 350 in it.

Long post incoming - much travel over the last couple of weeks means lots of carspotting.

First, this vintage Fiat parked outside of a restaurant in Falls Church, VA -


And then, all the neato cars I saw down in Oaxaca Mexico, starting with one of the prettier VW Minibuses I've seen -


And a few other neat VWs (a Thing, a Crossfox, and a Rabbit that's a lot like the one my dad had when I was growing up) -


Also this donkey in the back of a Nissan pickup -


...and this Smart Roadster -



Apparently, we were in Mexico the week before the Carrera Panamerica, which is some sort of race (the description reminded me of the old Cannonball Run movies.) Here's a bunch of cars (mostly Porsches) in race livery -



I'm not sure what this is but I think it's electric -


There were a lot of these 3-wheeler things that were used for various functions -


And finally, an old Japanese car (maybe a Toyota?) and a Ford Bronco -


One last thing - an old Willy's Jeep from the parade in my town last weekend -

After not having anything to add for a while, I came across this little gem today a few blocks from my house.

Obviously an El Camino.

I'm going to say 1984.

Anyone else?

@Mike N will probably be a long shortly to tell you not only what year it is but what day of the week it was made and who the foreman was on that shift lol well maybe not quite but he'll be pretty accurate with what he does have

1981 El Camino, that front end was one year only.

If @Michael Jewels could possibly post a pic of the cowl tag, I could tell you when & where it was built and what color it was originally.
