Local Automobiles - Cool cars you've seen around town - Post them here!

I think it is cool to see what other older cars are in different cities. Post up pictures of older automobiles you have seen in your area. Daily drivers, rust buckets, buicks, non-buicks, etc.. No car show photos. Just pictures of cars in the everyday settings.

I'll start with a few to get the thread rolling:

Found this one parked on the side of the road in Galveston:


This one was parked in front of a liquor store:


This car was parked about a 1/4 mile away from the ocean (in Bacliff, Tx) and looks to have been submerged up passed the roof during Hurricane Ike. The car smelled like saltwater and mold.


Seen this one while waiting at a stop light:


Seen this one at the grocery store:


Your turn. Let's see what's in your city.

 

You sure do have a ton of great car pictures.
It might be a while, but I'll find some to add to the post.
You don't get a lot of cool older cars driven regular around here because it's so wet and they rust.
I'll keep my eye open though. There is an interesting model A with a Buick hood ornament on the roof that I'll try and catch.

 

I really need to pick up a cheaper P&S camera to keep in my car when I see the old iron. I'd love to keep my DSLR in my car all day (especially with my zoom lens) but unfortunately its just too expensive to leave in there. Great pics though! When I do have my camera with I generally only take pictures of cars for sale, too tough/dangerous to get em' while driving.

 

i use my blackberry it does decent for pics

 

Saw this one on my way home on 290 in Austin:



Saw these getting hauled around on 290 as well:



Saw this on 290 as well:



Edit: For the record, I don't think that third one is cool, but I bet the driver does.

 

Maybach

$400,000 cars being hauled on a rusty, dirty, open trailer.
The indignity.

:laugh:

 

I love that Toyolet. A fitting name for the unmodified version in my book

 

Passed this in a parking lot:


Seen this '57 in someones driveway along a side street. This picture was taken soon after Ike, so I am assuming something smashed the window during the hurricane. Tree branch maybe?


This '66 Satelite hasn't moved in years.


Found this one in front of someones shop off of a side road.

 

My phone is from 1980 so it doesn't take pictures worth looking at. I bet it was one of the early phones to have a camera though.

Rockstarr, what camera do you use?

 

Real fast.

 

My everyday carry-along camera is a Kodak C875 8mp point and shoot.

For car shows and such, I use:
Samsung Pro-815
Canon Digital Rebel - Soon to be replaced with a Pentax K20D.

 

Nice find.

 

I saw this one yesterday:

 

This is Bianchina I saw at Univeral Studios one day.


And at OldTown one evening, a 72 like mine went though. The guy didn't stay afterwards so I didn't get a chance to talk with him.



An employee at Carmax owned this beauty.


It was driving by pretty quick but I managed to get a couple shots of this piggy back



And here is a Beatle I saw at OldTown too. Converted to front engine.



And how do you drive 2 big rigs at once and still take the vehicle you used to get there? I went to heavy equipment auction and this guy was picking up to trucks. The towing equipment was towed in by the Ford pickup, hooked to one rig, then he drove the pick up onto it, then hooked up the second rig. The towing equipment is chained to the second rig and hydraulics lift it.

 

Not a big fan of the Pinto, but this thing is Rad. I would love it as a daily driver. There is a similar one around town that is green as well.

 

I know a guy that had one of those when they first came out. His was green and didn't fare well during an encounter with a deer.

 

Looks like most people won't even park near it. :laugh: :laugh:

 

I was browsing through my phone pics and forgot I took this of a Maserati, (on 290 as well):

 

did not take pictures of it but we inspected the same type of maserati last week. I love the paddle shifters on a 4 door.
