Lite mint green (not really bad looking). Of all odd place, on the Schuykill expressway.
also some old cheys. A 65ish 4 door Chevelle or Malibu, and a '67 full size 2 door. Tha looked pretty nice.
And yesterday, a '64ish Ford fairlan rumbled by my house. Old guy driving, but it burbled nice. Def. hopped up. Also seemed to have a bit of extra tire and suspension in the back.
And finally, in my town, a '71-73 Mustang fastback (looked brand new). Maybe a spirit of america? was that the white one with blue stripes (and a big baby blue band around the rocker panels)?

The early 2 seat Birds are great looking cars.

Unlike a fintail, when a V-8 SL is neglected, it STOPS.
I only see one other than mine very rarely too, and most of them are the lower line models.

And the oldest taxi in Berlin - a 190D fintail:

Older sedans do keep soldiering on, so long as they are a 4, 6, or diesel, they will slowly decay, rather than randomly die like a V8. I think the sedans are just like the SLs you mention - when the time comes, they simply stop.

It's nice to great cars get saved.

Recently I needed a new car insurance and due to this I did a little research in the internet. Due to this I found a page on which you can compare car insurances between USA and Germany. It is actually good to see what other countries have.
When I rent a car, I usually decline the insurance sold by the rental company, but this time I bought it, as it will be an expensive car.
The differences in licensing standards are interesting there, too - a bit more demanding than in NA.

The car is probably the part of the trip I am looking forward to the most. I estimated my driving and I will probably drive over 3000km in those 9 days, so it will be worth it. I will have more than a week before I get the car to hang out and look around...then I get to drive around. A few days I will be driving a lot, maybe 8 hours...but I will enjoy it.
This is a German forum devoted to discussing rental cars...no English version, but it can be translated online, or if one has a moderate understanding, it shouldn't be a problem
Most surprising deal I have seen - Sixt has a promotion for the new M3, 99 Euro/day. Could make a fun weekend.

$1K for a replica? Insane. I would rather rent a Corvette from a mainstream agency for like $100/day. There are a few highline rental agencies here too that charge several hundred per day for an S or 7er.
What would be a good price for a halfway decent 1960 Dodge 4-door hardtop these days? I like 'em, although I told my mechanic that I'd want a "real" Dodge...either a Matador or Polara. He said that 4-door hardtops are starting to become a hot item, as prices for the convertibles and hardtop coupes get cost prohibitive. But I still can't see the nicest '60 Matador or Polara 4-door hardtop as being worth much more than $10-12K. Or am I off-base here?
As for being a "hot item", I've yet to see the 4DHTs even threaten to become "hot". Some are "warm" but they aren't likely to sizzle as long as their 2D counterparts are competing with them in the marketplace at reasonable competitive prices. A 2DHT shouldn't cost much than $12K and even a top notch convertible isn't much more than a $20K car right now. You could probably find a decent convertible with a few needs for the same price as a top priced 4DHT--and you know which one will sell first.
It's another case where rarity does not equal greater value.
Problem with the vast majority of 4DHTs is that they are awkward-looking and emulate their lowly 4-door sedan brethren, whereas the 2DHTs emulate the convertibles with the top up. People notice this I think and it's reflected in their buying choices.

the silver one i saw today looked like it only comes out on those beautiful days like today.
also a 69/70 firebird convertible.

Spotted in a locked mechanic's lot: I'm 'pretty sure' it was a 1965 Dodge Polara or Custom 880 four-door sedan (it was a 'six-window' variety, didn't know they still made those in '65), in decent condition, kinda light beige w/matching interior
Also saw a Mercury Capri XR2 (the turbo variety) for sale, in that awful period aqua/green, for $1000. Looked in decent shape for the $, I guess. I know nothing about these....anyone?

What is that clunker? Looks like a Lt. Columbo Peugeut

Eventually, I think he settled on something he really liked...a 1972 Corvette. Red, 350 small block, and IIRC, it had the targa roof. So it was kinda like having 2/3 of a convertible, I guess.
The last time I saw him, 1999 I guess, he still had the Corvette, but I can't remember if he had the Capri or not. I never did get a chance to ride in it.
I missed it while it was in action, but later that evening, this 5th Ave was parked next to mine. I was pulling the wire hubcaps off my car in preparation for leaving, as I'm sure it would lose them, when a couple guys came up to me and asked me if this was the car from the burnout competition. I didn't know what they were talking about, but then said maybe it was the one next to me? Well, we went over to it, and while he had his good tires back on by that point, you could smell the burnt rubber. And looking at the pic, it looks like he lost a trim piece when the rear tire blew.
Too bad I didn't actually see this in action, but I was eating dinner at the time. And ironically, I had always joked about putting my 5th Ave in the burnout competition, but I'm just afraid that I'd shred the transmission! Once the show is over, I still depend on that car to get me the 130 miles back home!
Never could understand burnouts, doughnuts by presumably "adults". Can understand mentality (or lack of) teen-age guys laying rubber on streets, rural roads late Friday, Saturday nights. What's with the nascar guys.
I'm not into those events either. One that bothers me is taking a good old big-engined car and putting spark plugs in the tailpipes and running rich somehow and igniting the gasoline for backfires. They had a competition for that at a small church cruise-in nearby a couple years ago. I was watching and just thought, "Why?"
I'm always most impressed by a car that is really stock down to the hubcaps/beauty rings/ Rally II wheels that the cars came with. Or at most the typical Cragar type aftermarket wheel put on that type of car when it was young.

It's an interesting survivor, but Shifty's price sounds right to me. A Supra should bring a little more.
I think this was a granny car. Brown colors, low mileage, perfect condition, and an automatic.

At least the granny car has the period wheels, those are amusing.
Oh yeah, and even here where the weather is relatively gentle, the lower part of the rear hatch will almost always rust out if the car is not garaged. I remember a couple kids had those cars when I was in high school, and they were rusting then.
I'm influenced so much in my old car tastes by the Matchbox cars I or my friends had when I was little.

I'm still not sure what influenced my tastes in cars.
