Vintage Cars and other forms of transportation

It struck me as I rode home the other day that there are a lot of older cars, trucks and even streetcars here. So I got my cell phone out and started taking pictures as I come accross them. These are just cars that people drive on the street. I hope some of you will be posting much nicer pictures of classic cars, truck, motorcyles, boats whatever you want. No limit here. Meanwhile here is what I have.

In San Franciso we buy old streetcars from around the world here is one I saw the other day.

 

I saw this old Ford Galaxy 500 on my way home from work. My guess is 1964 but some of you car experts may know better. My father used to have one of these, it is the car I learned that I used to learn how to drive, that and my sister's 59 VW beetle.

 

The next three cars I saw parked all in a row. The first one is an old Volvo, it is not unusual to see these on the road around here.

 

Parked in front of the Volvo was an old Chevy van. My best guess in late 60's or early 70's. A lot of my friend used to have vans like this one.

 

Parked in front of the van was this Valiant Station Wagon. Early 60's? You can't tell from the picture but the seats were covered with a tiger skin printed material.

 

Nice car in your avatar. Is that a GTO?

 

I really like old Chevy Nomad wagons.

 

Nice my sister, I hope the both of you have a great time. Tell her to take easy on the high octane though. You don't want her getting too rowdy.
