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

Get the emblem off the 70! You can make a killing.

 

Saw this one on the way home from work one morning.

 

Pulled up to a stop light, looked to my right and saw this Olds.

This was at the gas station. I asked him what it was, he said it was a Renault. He seemed a bit angry at the time, so I just told him "cool car", snapped a pic and drove off.

Pulled up to a stop light while I was waiting.

I don't know what this is, but it doesn't look that safe.

Ive seen those here. Each front wheel has its own suspension so as you corner and lean the inside wheel is pushed up and t he outside wheel extends. The reviews Ive seen say it corners much better than a regular motorcycle with 2 front wheels on the ground.

Safer? maybe
Cool? not at all.

 

Thought I'd add some italian

 

Last week I was traveling home (to SW Fla) from Charleston, SC. On the way here are some of the sights I saw:






Here are 2 or 3 shots of Dan Dvorak's shop near Starke FL. Those of you who know Mopars, will know who Dan is.

 

Saw some cool cars yesterday I bet Jeff?????

 

Yeah, but I forgot my camera. ou: I'm hoping that you would post some that you took. If not now, when you get home. I'm going to have to return another time to see all that I wanted to.

Thanks for the invitation. It was great meeting you and your friends, and seeing all those beautiful cars. They do need more Buicks, however. We were noticably under represented.

Thanks again Mike.:TU: :TU: :TU:

 

I'll get those posted soon Jeff, but in the meantime, here's a few I found with Bryan (freak6264) in Georgia on my recent vacation..........
Front looks good

Rear, not so good....

Came across this yesterday, never seen one here, SUV or pickup. Didn't even know Cadillac built one, let alone released any here. 4 door, RHD as well.

 

Here in Texas, they are pretty popular!

 

It's been over a year since the last post in this thread. Anybody seen anymore cool, strange, or unusual cars in their area? Buicks are worth bonus points. :TU:

Here's a few I have come across.

Not in town, but was headed to the farm when I spotted this rig hooking up. Pulled off to get this pic

 

Interesting bumper and wheels. These trucks originally came with 6-lugs per wheel.

this car sits in the street in a pretty rough neighbor hood in Ft. Worth. I drive past it on my route. They also have a silver Ford short wide 4X4 but I didn;t think to get it in its entirety. Those are chrome SS/t super tricks. Just an 01 and a stars and bars roof treatment away from being famous.



I saw this Triumph on the way into one of the restaurants the wife and I like to eat at so I snapped a pic.







I went hunting for a big suv project but decided to fix the suburban I have before embarking on a bigger project.

 

Why is it that those suburbans only have 1 rear door, but door panels for 2?

 

I'm going with the blue burb is what you are asking about. The 67-72 Suburban are commonly know as three doors. There are two doors(a front and back) on the passenger side but the Drivers side only had a driver door. The window in the passenger area behind the driver rolls down.

 

I don't think this one is all that "Cool", but evidently someone does. :laugh:

 

Yeah, sorry. I meant the Suburbans, not the Internationals. What was the reasoning behind this design? Why not just make it a full on 4-door?
