I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!

Bad sign-driver's window rolled down, rain comes in, floor rots.

Early one, I wonder if the rear windows roll down. It's like a beater from 30 years ago.

This is just down the street from me. Might be abandoned in this lot, as the office building there is almost totally empty. Hard to believe this is over 40 years old.

Good eye, I didn’t recognize the window is open. Not good.

I swear those k-cars came standard with a sagging rear. I noticed the open window too.. I’d wager that car is toast.

That Aries has roll-down rear windows. The models with roll-down window (mid-1982 and newer) had a smaller main window, and correspondingly larger rear quarter window, than the fixed-window models. This one just looks a little bit different, because it has those louvers or whatever, which make the quarter window look smaller. I think that might have denoted a more upscale trim level, but not sure. It's been ages since, but I have seen those louvers before.

Went out for lunch earlier, when I got back to my car a Horizon had parked behind me:

Oh, my gosh. That's hilarious! Back in the day, those cars were everywhere. Now, it is like winning the lottery!

Spokane/PNW, if they are going to still be on the road somewhere it will be here. It looked to be in decent condition for an old economy car, so someone must like it.

Your wagon is just classically beautiful. I never see one of those here in North Texas.
