Seen in the carpark of the museum. Old Holden, has "Special" on the front fender. Can anyone ID it? Looking your way Paulie (jokes, and I have a photo you may like, will post it in the DYSAGTES thread in a few days).
I looked it up. It's a Holde EH, made from 1963 to 1965. There were three versions, the "Standard," "Special," and S4. Most were the special. 250,000 were sold in 18 months, so it holds the record for the fastest selling Australian car ever. The S4 was raced at Bathurst, but was beaten by the Ford Cortina.

We all want to kill you for not carrying the camera that day. Esprits are a pretty rare sight round here, especially an S2.
With you low-light snapping skills, you need to go to Gloucester Rd at around 6-7pm with your camera. I was stuck in traffic there for twenty minutes last night and saw, amongst other things, two white Elises literally passing by at the same time on opposite sides of the road, a 599 GTB, an immaculate Jensen Interceptor, a couple of DB9's, the usual hat-full of Porkers, an R33 GT-R and a bunch of other stuff. The great thing is that the traffic is moving so slowly I reckon you can get some good results.
Here's a shot of a Lotus in an unusual colour. My girlfriend took the photo yesterday. She needs a couple of lessons in composition I think, bless her.

Lincoln Continental 1947
A few months ago, I posted this as a "Packard". Thankfully, someone corrected me but even more thankfully, it showed up again. I got better pictures this time.
Ford Thunderbird 1955
Looks original, needs only a little work, but it might just be a poorly-kept restoration. The continental kit reminds me of a giant, frosted, donut.
Chevrolet Camaro convertible 1967
Matte black. What else needs to be said?
Mercedes-Benz 300TD ~1980
Not exactly posted for it's rarity of specialness, but for the fact that this is the first time I've seen a wooden bumper in real life. Knowing what I do about Mercedes TD's of that time, the car should outlast the replacement bumper.
Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante
The gas station pictured here is always 10-15% more expensive than any other place around. This is because the dealership next door brings their loaner and rental cars here to be filled up, then charges the client the exorbitant prices. Not that this DB7 is a loaner or anything....
Ferrari 575M
I can't figure out what the other cars are in front of the 575, but they look a bit unusual to me (not special, just unusual). I'm open to ideas, as usual.
Audi S4 2010
It's good to see that Audi has retained the mostly-anonymous look for the S4, but more importantly it's good to know that it's finally better than it looks.
Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG 2003
The earlier, rarer S65, and the only Mercedes I can remember with two-tone wheels.
Porsche Cayenne GTS
I thought the GTS, with it's actually-sporty-for-a-SUV ride, would be less common, but it seems that since everything Cayenne is selling, this one goes with it. Given that, this will probably be the last Cayenne I post for some time.
Porsche 550 Spyder
It has to be a replica. Either that, or those kids will soon be showing up on milk cartons thanks to the father of the driver.

What I done gone saw in the US, fish/barrel shots aside (we went into two exotic car showrooms...):
Now apparently Las Vegans like Corvettes...
(ZR1... oof)
And it's not just Corvettes. Apparently they also like Vipers. In yellow...
(yep, three different body style/generation Vipers, all in yellow. Nice)
There's a penchant for updated muscle too...
And ugliness.
And New York was just a giant collage of unusual cars...
And for light relief:
Interceptor, RARR!

They're a rare sight anywhere, even back here in the UK. But I did see this one recently in the car park our firm uses:
It was absolutely immaculate. Also saw this KTM Xbow:
And an Aston Martin DB7 Zagato, one of 99 sold.
And now for something completely different. A modded VW Passat Estate with a super-low ride height and bright orange Porsche rims. Something tells me it shouldn't work, but it does:

Trans Am with an LS1
Honda Crosstour, I know how everybody loves these.
Firebird? With some horrible decorations, and possibly fake blower
I felt bad for this beetle, but it had the color changing paint
Evo
Little Suzuki, I don't see these that often
Another Beetle
Lancer Wagon
That 550i BMW GT, Evo, and Cayman
Suzuki Kizashi
Mercedes Werkwagen

I noticed that too when I was posting these. We only went from Brighton to Ann Arbor, but I guess snow didn't go everywhere.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure I found the Sultan of Michigan's car collection too. Now I just need to get in.
