Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

Saw this Allante in an unusual color. View attachment 4403546

My first ever job, besides paper boy, my boss had one of those in gold. One of my biggest thrills each workday was when he'd ask me to pull it around to the front door of our store so he could hop in and go to lunch with his father and wife. I got to drive it about a block maybe through the parking lot, but I felt like Robin Leach should pop out and interview me each time I drove it. :D
These are the days before selfies, so all I could do was tell all my friends about it at school.
Then he sold it and got a Eldorado Biarritz. He never once let me drive that one though.

Parked on the street and I'm noticing a lack of license plates...... what's up with that?
Yea..beats me. This one was parked in front of it. It's got something down there but it doesn't look a legal plate.

Some sort of early 60's Biscayne post model versus a hardtop. Looks like someone clipped the corner of the rear bumper.

The American Racing wheels and white wall tires are a nice touch, although both have gone the way of the carburetor and full size spare tire.
 
Do you have a similar collection of wannabe Mad Max vehicles in your driveway/yard? Lol...
