Confused. No more topless cars? Convertibles have to have their tops up?

I think he was cracking a joke about one of the billboards.

Somewhere in the snow in what looks like the early 60s, zooms fine:

stickguy · April 15

60 Ford in the center!

Lostwrench3 · April 15

1960 Oldsmobile.

tmart · April 16

58 Ford wagon in front of the 60 Ford Kinda looks like another 60 Ford in front of the wagon but the taillights don’t seem right.

Picture is familiar. Maybe from Nashville?

sda · April 16

Those don't appear to be factory wheel covers on the 60 Olds.

I think it may have been posted here not long ago.

Yes, Nashville.
See page 1402.

@Lostwrench3,
My memory isn't totally shot, yet.

D'oh. To make up for the rerun, here's Vancouver around 1970 again with some diversity, zooms well:

stickguy · April 16

67 Cougar with the formal roof. and a ways back Citroen DS.

roadburner · April 16

1967 Cougar, DS 19, pre '67 Beetle

kyfdx · April 17

Coupe De Ville.. about 1970?

explorerx4 · April 17

A couple of Plumouths, a 70 lower line Fury somewhat obscured by the Cadillac and a 59 on the left at the Texaco station.

fintail · April 18

The Beetle in Vancouver isn't just pre-67, it's a pre-58, oval window. Very desirable car now. Looks like a 63 Impala 4 door HT parked beside it.

fintail · April 18

Station cars somewhere maybe around 1980, zooms fine:

bhill2 · April 18

I think that the silver number with a black hood (near the back) is a late 70's Buick Regal.

explorerx4 · April 18

2nd to last car in the line, a Saab 900.

stickguy · April 18

Fairmont wagon up front, next to a mid-70s Monza hatchback. I looked at one like that somewhere around 1980 (used). was the baby V8, 4 speed. Considering at the time I was driving something like a Gremlin it was hot stuff for sure. All I remember was some rust on the rockers (maybe lower door) which was not a good sign. That, and the mechanic that looked it over for us said don't bring it to him if it needed plugs changed because that was the model that needed the engine jacked up to get to the rear plugs. I did not end up buying it, but that was probably because the price (something like a whopping $1,500) stretched the budget too far!

stickguy · April 18

White Hornet 2 door hiding in between the 2 land yacht Chevys.

Lostwrench3 · April 18

Plymouth Fury wagon.

laurasdada · April 19

Love the "Targa" band on the Monzarati, really Euroclasses it up!
"Is that a Monza or 911 Targa? There's really no way to tell!"

My best friend had a Vega, his mom an Olds Starfire GT (which we nicknamed the Garbage Truck. Teenage boys can be so unkind). They both lived to regret 'em.

fintail · April 19

At the station, far end next to the Saab looks like a Civic sedan of the 1980+ style.

texases · April 19

Green car far right some brand of the Mitsubishi Colt?

I was thinking Datsun 210 similar age to the Civic.

texases · April 19

Pretty sure it’s a ‘77-ish Colt sedan.

ab348 · April 20

Geez, you not only got the car ID right, you nailed the paint color too! Two thumbs up!

fintail · April 20

There it is, unique bumper strips are a giveaway.

For some reason pre-2000 Mitsubishis just stuck with me, I remember the various models well. They seemed a good alternative to the big brands, some with cutting edge technology for the time.

sda · April 20

I was thinking the silver Monza was actually a Buick Skyhawk. A zoomed in pic is fuzzy.

fintail · April 20

The Colt made me think of a local streetview sighting, as I have mapped out my neighborhood in past and current images. A 2013 view from a couple blocks away had this one parked on the street - the oddities hanging around in a place where cars age off the road slower than in most places in the world:

fintail · April 20

Not sure if this is a rerun - apparently August 1962 somewhere in the Canadian Rockies, zooms well enough:

explorerx4 · April 20

Apparently bears like 56 Chevies.

bhill2 · April 20

I'll grab the white 62 Rambler on the right.

ab348 · April 20

‘57 Ford Country Sedan, ‘56 Chevy and Olds, early Karmann Ghia.

stickguy · April 20

tmart · April 20

Not a clue but I like it!

stickguy · April 20

I know where there is one for sale!

tmart · April 21

Where?

stickguy · April 21

no guesses? Bueller?

stickguy · April 21

that oddball was a Spira, probably from the early 2010s (though still made today supposedly). Originally came as a 3 wheeler with a tiller, later added a 4 wheel model with a steering wheel. Body "structure" is non-reinforced plastic, and the "body" is foam blocks. Electric power.

Robert from aging wheels has 2 of them, and willing to sell to anyone adventurous!

Something of an atmospheric pic - not the highest resolution but zooms fine enough:

Lostwrench3 · April 22

1961 Imperial.

bhill2 · April 22

1962 Cadillac.

Lostwrench3 · April 23

And, let's not forget the 1957 Plymouth Plaza.

tmart · April 23

This is funny. Hope it works

Barkerville BC maybe around 1960, zooms well enough:

tmart · April 24

54 Ford, 57 Chevy, 55(?) Chevy, Oldsmobile year unknown.
