I thought I would see more classics while in Seattle, the Pacific NW is usually great for those but nothing really noteworthy except a late 80's Vovlo 740, which really isn't that noteworthy.
Weather lately is miserable, that keeps some of the older stuff inside.

For this latest generation SIA only builds Outbacks, no Legacy wagons. The manual turbo is long gone.
Subaru builds Legacy wagons in Japan, but they are not imported for this market, so every Legacy and Outback you see is made in Indiana.

Thankfully Subaru redesigned the heads entirely on the F series engines (FA, FB) so that coolant isn't even routed through the gaskets any more, putting that issue to bed for good.

I had thought it was back in 2004 or so, based on CR problem charts. So we got a used 2007 Forester. Now the dreaded 'black dots' are showing up in 2007! So maybe it's NOW been fixed...but I remain skeptical. Seems like it takes 5 years to show itself, so it'll be 2017 before we *know* the problem's been solved.
Then they phased out the EJ25 engines and started to use the FB25 (2011 Forester first, then 2012 Outback) and FB20 (2012 Impreza, when it was redone), and the DI version joint venture with Toyota, FA20.
Impossible for coolant to leak through a head gasket when it no longer flows through the head gasket!
at the Toyota dealer, with a rope around it. I didn't ask to sit in it.

I had a goot spotting day today:
Mercedes 220 gas, circa 1971---very clean. This would be a nice car to own and use as a daily driver.
Ford Panel truck, maybe 1949/50 ??---driving down the road, a bit rough
Avanti (the REAL one), in a driveway in Sonoma nr. real estate office...kinda shabby, with spray-can-painted door, one flat tire. Don't know what's up with it.

Didn't see anything of note today, other than the weird ratty 67 Galaxie with a spoiler that I know isellhondas has spotted too. Oh, and a Ford Courier, those are thin on the ground anymore.
"only" 142,000 miles?
Well it took $28,000 in receipts to get that far, so figure .20 cents a mile for repairs + .33 a mile for gas...okay .50 cents a mile to drive it.
Not toooooo bad if you go only 3,000 miles a year.
I think I know which car you are referring to. I have seen one near Sonoma town square with black plates outside of a business. I will be up there next weekend, maybe I can get a picture of it...
I wonder if those cats can just be removed?
Speaking of 107s and period pieces, I still like this SLC - brought $6K at auction
Yes I think you can remove the cats and make up an exhaust system that would work. Just don't bring it to California.
When are cars exempt there? Is 75 the cutoff?
So YES you could bring that de-catted 1975 Mercedes to California in theory---but if it's coming from out of state, it would have to be inspected by the highway patrol, and I guess there's an odd chance they'd spot the missing cats (nah, would they?)...so, small risk. But you wouldn't need a smog certificate.
If I remember correctly, it's never legal to remove emissions equipment, even on exempt cars. Not sure i"m right but I think that's true.
As with virtually all rules, it is only illegal if you get caught :shades:
Odd sighting today, US spec C126 500SEC (so only 1984-85, IIRC), kind of neglected, parked horribly in a crowded lot taking up two spaces, with a window down on a cold evening.
The truck registrations show how moribund Stude's truck business was by '59. The trucks were advanced in '49 (inside door step, instrumentation serviced from under the hood instead of under the dash), but were old-hat by '59 with only some fairly minor changes made in that time. Pickup sales were up in the early '60's with the Champ, but not for long.
Interesting numbers and comparisons with a year earlier.

Americans did not want small cars until 1958. Why should they buy a small car when they could get a full size Chevy, Ford or Plymouth for approximately the same price?
Yeah, the Fiskar is simply stunning in person. I saw plenty of exotics on Saturday around the "Mag Mile". It was a strange day. Left the house in a short sleeve shirt with 60 degree temps and by 7 O'clock I was walking out of Water Tower Place mall with sleet falling down and wishing I didn't leave my coat at the hotel. Saw an Aston DB (couldn't get a good enough look to see which number, a few Maseratis, a Bentley Continental convertible among others.
