Vehicle Spotting: Red, White and Blue
We got to the beach yesterday after all the big crowds had left, the city employees were picking up barricades, and the sunburnt (red) tourists/wives/car collectors were stumbling back to their cars.
Here's what we found:
Late Fifities Corvette

That one was red with wide whitewall tires. In front of a white picket fence. The next Vette was white in front of the old Hotel del Corononado's red and white profile.
I didn't know Red and White would be the theme until today when I inspected all the photos!
Willys Station Wagon with big block motor
57 Chevy Nomad wagon

Footsore owner who said it wasn't running as good as it looks, and hoping he'd make it home ...

I think this car is as widely-recognized as any American car ever made

Oops.


Here's the blue part of the post title. A suicide door Lincoln Continental convertible
This is NOT a macro lens shot. The car is BIG! Rocker panels look rust free too.

Now to take care of the Hot Rod Lovers, like Bill

Very clean and still driveable.

Here's a big cruiser. Perhaps it belongs to that group of girls in the earlier photo. I'd be heading to Montana if I'd bought this car,

No front plate, but it does have a rear one.

Just the average Spring Break day in Southern California (not really, this is one in a hundred). See the car over at the far right, next to the street lamp?

It's a car with NO color, wrapped in Chrome.

The following car makes up for the previous one. I have never seen such red! I spotted it 100 yards away through a gap in the parking lot wall.

This looks like a '64 Ford Galaxie drag racing special.

This white Cadillac was featured in a previous episode so I just took a quick snap from the Lotus (yes, sometimes I photo and drive)
AND finally this was too good to leave out -- and too GREEN! Ford Bronco early '70s.
SORRY, no EL Caminos!
