How glorious is this 1932 Buick Country Club? Every detail is beautiful. Wish I would have gotten more photos.

When your car’s interior matched your living room. 1978 Bronco Ranger, entirely original. Check out the wood-print vinyl! This was such a fun one to see.

When I was growing up, there was someone in my neighborhood with one of these. I thought those seats in the back with the handles were the absolute coolest thing. The one in my neighborhood was bright green, and had the obligatory “Brat” graphics cascading down the sides. 

1973 Ford Pinto at this year's Coast Guard car show. There were hundreds of cars there, but this one got so much attention: everyone, it seems, had one or at least had memories of riding in one. The dull, work-a-day vehicles of the past deserve preservation too.

Air-cooled forever!

1957 Chevy Impala convertible in near-original condition. Original upholstery!

Always a common sight at car shows in these parts...I’ll post the rest of the vehicle separately.

Happy New Year! Here’s to all the enthusiasts who will spend it sharing their vintage vehicles at car shows. 

1963 Buick...inexplicably failed to record anything beyond this.

Now that's a toothy grin. 1970s(?) Mercury. Sorry, no more details on this guy...

It's hard enough to find a wagon these days, much less a sport wagon. Pity, isn't it?

Enjoy your beautiful bird, even if it isn't this 1938 Packard Twelve.

These two beauties can be seen at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum, although as this photo shows, their siting in the museum unfortunately makes them difficult to appreciate fully.

Update: Myyadventures and averageloser have dated this to a 1979. Thanks!

1970-something Camaro lights.

The door handle of a 1970-something Camaro...why don't they do stuff like this anymore? Such a nice little detail.
