Better Late Than Never: Best of 2021 - 2022 - 2023, Part 1

The "Best Of" returns! It was a great pleasure to capture these cars, good, bad and absurd. Totally subjective as always.
The slideshow works as usual. Click/tap in the middle of a picture to go to it's post.

The white paint is apparently original, and gives it a completely different look from the typical black or dark blue. The owner says it has 300,000 km on the odometer.

Many -- including me -- thought this a dumpy little car when it was new. Hey, where's the fastback? the big engine? the swoopy design?  Of course we all know how that worked out.

Love the three segment circular tailights, hood and trunk shutlines that merge with the chrome strip, simple and purposeful controls, classic grille & headlights, the over all "box leaning forward" shape. Features which were basically unchanged for more than a decade.

The badge on the grille says "Automóvil Club Argentino".

1986 BMW 635CSi

Love the protruding front turn signals (which actually serve a useful function), the only slightly bent kidney grill, and the general stance of purposefulness. And the ribbed black B pillar too.

Contrast with previous car.
