1982 Dodge Rampage

1982 Plymouth Caravelle

1982 Chevrolet Chevette Scooter

1982 Honda Prelude Convertible

I had an opportunity to talk to the lucky owner. She says it was specially ordered from Honda as a convertible. A very rare and special car, one which has not been hidden away in some collection but is still being driven regularly, though mostly in the summer.

After some checking, this car looks like something from 1979 to 1981. But the owner said it was an '82. So I'll let it stand.

1982 Toyota Cressida

Points of interest: Odd diagonal grille, single wheel cap still present on those stock mesh wheels despite being on the curb side, pleasant patina scattered about. It has a practical appearance despite it's luxury pretensions. This car really lives in Honda Accord territory.

1982 Pontiac J2000

1982 Mercedes Benz 407D Firetruck

1982 Honda Civic Hatchback

This seems to be a project car. It has been sitting in this alley for at least two summers. There was a sibling, an older Civic "Wag-O-Van" in the garage, which seems to have departed. Love the patina, the moss, but most of all the honesty of the car. No pretensions, just honest, straightforward transportation. Many had problems with Civics of this generation, but this one seems in excellent shape.

UPDATE Mar 30/2015: Spoke with the owner and discovered I had the year wrong.
