Vehicle Spotting: ALMOST DEAD
I try to present colorful, rare, fun & beautiful vehicles in our Spotting Reports, but we have accumulated a backlog of rare, faded and curiously still attractive vehicles, which I would like to present today.
If the mole on Cindy Crawford's face makes you turn away, you might want to switch posts right now... but if you glance twice then feast your eyes on the good parts ... keep reading.
Let's start with the Mercury Bobcat. This is a twin, pimped-up version of the Ford Pinto. Built only from 1975-80, they are quite rare and I can't recall the last time I saw one. Here's a fake-wood-sided wagon we spotted:
It's funny how neighborhood seemed to be focused on a single brand (or perhaps they all belong to one guy)
This succession of Ford pickups was just seen on only two blocks around the Bobcat.
Ford Falcon Ranchero
along with a project truck cab? in the back yard
At least this last one showed some evidence of love. Notice the hood scoop in front of the windshield.
Then we rounded the corner into the SILLY FOREIGN CAR zone (you can see above in the photo) and ran across this Alfa.
Ouch! That's serious corrosion!
Once past the foreign cars, we entered the Chevrolet zone:1
These are honest working trucks
This blue one looks like it helped with the owner's remodeling project
Which was quite extensive!
Here's a Chevy front-control van. It has rare and expensive shiny truck hub caps and signs of recent body work. It's also precisely parked against the red curb edge.
What's this? A Dodge Coronet 500? 383 V8, dual exhausts, clean body, black steel rims - a sleeper or "Q" car.
Nice! I like this look.. Notice the clean duplex behind it - totally symmetrical on both sides and lots of new windows. I'll bet the Dodge owner lives there.
That fuel filler door is strangely positioned, isn't it? Very high and far back on the fender.
I have read that Subaru Outback is the vehicle most favored by lesbians. I don't know why, but whoever owns this one is either extremely butch or it's a man.

You know what I mean? "Honey, the car needs painting!" an hour passes "OK, car's painted, back to the football."
This is a more typical Subaru Outback! I wonder where she is headed ...

Wow! Fantastic report dear Cazalea!! Looks like your neighbourhood is never boring!...
... I enjoyed so much viewing your pictures. I specially loved the Dodge Coronet 500! And made me sad to view the old Alfa Spider condition! (guess Dustin Hoffman sported a red one like this in The Graduate) Thanks for sharing so many interesting pictures...
Bobcat....
My best mates car in Sr year, as i recall it was leaking exhaust fumes into the cabin....it made for a fun ride to school.....
We carpooled to work when I was in high school
in my mate's Triumph Herald convertible. That's another car which could leak exhaust fumes in all directions! We worked for a newspaper, and always thought we'd end up as a headline: "Teens asphixiated in old English car on the way home from work" The bad...
