Not the first Pao here but this one has more character. It's the chipped paint, missing hubcaps, and loose right headlight. Owner was very enthusiastic, telling me about and working on the car as I took photos.

1988 Volkswagen Fox

1962 Mercury Monterey Custom

1981 DeLorean DMC-12

Yes yes - I know -- Back to the Future Day was 3 days ago. This was not what I was thinking about when I had the good fortune to find this car a few weeks ago.

Ignore the lawsuits, the scandal, the eventual failure of the company, even the appearances in the movies.

1985 Ford Bronco II

1968 Volkswagen Squareback

A neighbour of the owner says it was only recently restored, and that the small dents in the front chrome strip happened just that day. That is perhaps what the paper under the wiper is about.
