Speaking of old cars in California, my brother sent these to me this weekend. Yesterday his son drove his Chevelle north on the PCH up to Carpinteria. The truck he spotted in a grocery store parking lot in Santa Clarita today.

It's cool that old AD is still moving about the planet but, man oh man it needs some love. I'd bet that's a "Do you want to sell this?" note under the wiper.

I spied this sweet GMC earlier this week over in the Hollywood district.

Nice truck. Ochre, D29's, and hooks just the way I would have ordered it in 71.

A couple of Fords I spotted last month. The pickup in Hollywood and the wagon was rolling down the Banfield doing about 60 mph.

Cool to see the wagon..not a common sight.

I watched the owner park and leave his lights on as he ran into a fast food place a couple days ago...

Default Spotted in Hayes, Va.

I parked near this Ford truck a few mornings ago, while visiting in Virginia. The owner was sitting with a group of guys having breakfast, so I didn't intervene with questions. They appeared to be in their 70's-80's, and having a great time. I think it's a '63.

To go along with the beast in the previous post and b-mans bus, here's a couple Fords crossing bridges, and a mobile mural on a microbus.
