A 1973 Cutlass Supreme Coupe followed me part of the way to work today. I always liked the 1973 Salon.

What year was the original "Gone In Sixty Seconds" filmed?

Shortly thereafter, on the freeway, a mid-late '60s VW bus with pop up camper roof. Guy driving it looked old enough to be the original owner.
Then, on the way home, an MG Midget in rough condition on a trailer behind a U-Haul.

late '80s Chevy Suburban
Was that the new style ('88 pickup style)? I think that was the first time the Suburban wasn't redesigned at the same time as the pickups.
I always liked the '88 pickup styling from Chevy--the four small square headlights.
I swear I remember seeing the new '88-model-year pickup in Dec. '86 at our local dealer's.
Squarebodies are a cult item now, people appreciate that design.
As usual, I'm out-of-step with what's mainstream, but I think the new Silverados are the best-looking ones in a while, but supposedly they're not selling as well as even Rams.
Image pulldown non-responsive so I had to copy a quote from another post and patch my link into it.

He called it "Big Red" and he owned it quite awhile.
FWIW, GM kept that '73-87 style around a few more years, with full-sized Blazers, Suburbans, and the 3/4 ton and up trucks. Those were the ones that got the grille and headlights that tried to mimic the '88 1/2-ton trucks. I think the Blazer, Suburban, and crew cab trucks held on to that old style through 1991, but the heavier-duty regular cab and extended cabs probably transitioned earlier. Now that I think about it, GM never offered an extended cab version of that '73-87 style. Kinda odd, since Ford and Dodge offered it for years.
Now, when they went to the flush headlights, where the headlight was about the same size as the turn signal, I didn't care for it as much. It made me think of Chevy's answer to the Wagon Queen Family Truckster! I thought the '99 redesign was pretty nice though...although they messed it up a bit with the "Angry Appliance" look a few years later...
Not sure how much of a grand tourer it is, but it has to be rare. I used to not pay much attention to old trucks, but lately I have been kind of "getting it". Squarebodies are just nice pieces of industrial design, and period Fords and even Dodges aren't far behind. For 2019 models though, I'd probably go Ram/Ford/GM.
This morning while jogging through a commercial area, I saw an 88-89 Accord coupe parked on one side of the street, and a 92-93 Accord coupe on the other side. Both white, both appeared to be in reasonably good condition (but the newer car had a ricer-era bodykit). Not many areas you'll still see these things plying the road daily. Also saw a gold 450SL on the road.

I agree with your pecking order for current trucks on offer.

I am sure you have seen this, retro paint packages applied to GM trucks starting a few years ago. For some of them, it kind of works:
At the time, the interiors were a big luxury upgrade over the earlier pickups. Nice instrument panel.
About the first half of the '73 model year, the trucks had no rain gutters. A lot of folks must've squawked as they started coming in with them and from that point forward.
Editing profiles seems difficult or perhaps broken as well. @Fezo was trying to edit his yesterday and gave up. You are supposed to be able to click on your user name and then use a pulldown in the upper right of the ensuing screen to get at it, but it seems balky.

I guess I was into R-bodies before they were really a "thing". Not that they're really THAT much of a "thing" these days
Google also has some OCR functions in its search, so if you search by plate, you might also find your car, if it was at a show or parked on the street and someone noticed it.
For obscure cars, last night I saw a 78 Nova and a 78 Monza - on a 1978 episode of The Price Is Right. I've been watching/listening to these on Youtube now and then, as had a thing for the show and game shows in general when I was a little kid (I took afternoon preschool so I could see TPiR in the morning, no joke), and the cars are amusing. That Nova and Monza weren't bad at all compared to some of the stuff in later years.

Photobucket was where I used to have pics hosted. Does anyone have other free places that will host pictures and are easily usable for uploading and linking?
I have jpg's I want to put up and can't.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
For the same reason as you I opened an account at Imgbb.com and it seems to work OK. Ridiculous that we’re forced to do that, but whatever.

The old tires were Les Schwab specials (I want to say "Dean Alpha") that cost ~$40 apiece in the late 90s. I ran them until early 2013, when they finally wore enough to justify replacement. The fintail has 13" wheels, which limits tire selection, especially these days.
I took this pic a couple weeks ago, at my old place (which I still need to get off my butt and sell), when I swapped my Catalina for the NYer. Just noticed, you can sort of make out my Park Ave at my grandmother's place across the street. Which, we also need to unload. The car and the house.
