Cruising California

Bentley spotted in Natomas at a dim sum place. I know it's not a classic car, but it's the first time I've seen a Bentley in person. And here it was parked in a perfectly ordinary place in Sacramento. And frankly parked too close to my Mazda.

Red convertible out for a drive on a beautiful day. My default guess is a Chevy Impala. My dad would know.

Red car spotted on the freeway by a guest photographer. I could make a stab at this one, but I'm probably wrong. My dad might know.

Edit: Uncle says it's a Buick Riviera.

Blue and white Ford Mustang, spotted on the freeway by a guest photographer in Sacramento.

Green 1969 Buick Riviera, spotted by a guest photographer in Roseville.

Edit from my father: "It's a '49 or '50 Chevrolet. Pretty sure it's a '50."

Beautiful turquoise Studebaker Lark seen in Point Reyes Station.

Red and white Chevy Camaro. 1969, according to my dad. Just gorgeous. Spotted in downtown Sacramento by a guest photographer.

Yellow Chevy Impala seen in Woodland. My father says it's a 1961. Clearly needs some work. Part of the front end is missing. Don't have a picture because it was getting dark and it turned out fuzzy.

Lovely blue convertible Corvair from the 1960s, courtesy of a guest photographer. Seen in West Sacramento. Comments from Dad: "It is a Corvair. Not sure of the year, but it is an early one. Between a '61 to '64, I'd say."

Red Ford Thunderbird on a trailer, courtesy of a guest photographer. My dad says it's mid-to-late 1960s, with "some wrong wrong wrong tail lights." Don't ask him about the frankenlights on his own car, though.

Old red truck, Toyota 1900 early 1960s, according to the guest photographer who let me borrow this photo.

1967 Chevelle wagon seen on Broadway in Sacramento. According to my dad, the SS hood never came on the wagon.
