More recent spots.

Yesterday, I saw in the parking lot an EF Honda Civic Wagon and it turned out to be a 4WD model.

Today though, I was about to walk to class in the same parking lot when I caught a glimpse of something and yeah; I saw a C2 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible.

and last, I stopped by the High School I always pass by on my way home to finally take a closer look at a Mercedes I happen to see everyday. It turned out to be a 300SD Turbo Diesel, which I was told that it's kinda rare.

There's also vehicles that I forgot to post a while ago that I'll leave in the spoilers here:
Chevrolet 3100 with primer on it.

And I wish I had money for the 3100.

The Malibu. :bowdown: Back in '82, dad had a '77 in green with green landau top, green interior, column shift and a 400cid from a parted out Monte Carlo. Got stolen. :(

Dear God Goddin. Here we go.The Chopped sedan is a 33-34 Ford tudor, the blue roadster with the 60 GNRS plate is a 33-34 Ford (and it's license plate aludes to the Grand National Roadster Show, tought I'd find it hard to belive that it's been done since the 60s; also notice it has a Halibrand Quickchange-based independen rear suspension. Really clean), the black one with wire wheels is yet anothger 33-34 Ford, the two-toned car is indeed a 5-window Model A, the red roadster is a 32 along with it's partner, the "old Ford coupe" os a 1940 (clean!), the "something different" is a 54 Ford, the weird black car is a 38 Willys (awesome btw), "Hot Rods on the move" seem to be a black 32 and a T-Bucket, the red "hot rod roadster" confuses me as it's clearly a 32 Coupe, that is, a closed car, not a roadster, the red Model A is indeed one, the ragtop Mopar is a 1965 Valiant I think, altough I might be off because iirc, that car had different names here and there, so bear with me, the "69 Nova" is actually a 1971 Chevelle, the "Nomad of sorts" is an awesome and very very very rare 57 Buick Caballero, a hardtop (no B post) wagon. And the Nomad is indeed a Nomad and indeed a 56. Quite a collection, amazoing to think you just randomply stumbled upon them. I would have cried a little with some of those.

EDIT: I just read that you were in Bakersfield. Of course you would see hot rods everywhere, the California Hot Rod Reunion was taking place right there! Tell mw you went there because of that!


47 Chevy.

Thanks! And no, sorry, just passing through on my way to San Francisco, no time to swing by the track and check it out, sadly...
 
I saw lots of nice stuff.


Then, on the way out of that lot...
