1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible

I got to speak to the owner, who says it's all original. It was a beautiful day, and he regretted not having removed the top, which is also original. When I looked up some info about the car I hadn't realized that the windsheild wipers are under vacuum powered doors.

There's something about Corvettes... they were the most desirable car when I was a kid. The early C3 represents a pinnacle of GM car design, and this example is beautiful. But... how is it that most people did not recognize the (now) obvious phallic symbol that this car literally embodies (particularly in #11). I realise that this statement will annoy some people. To me there is no ignoring it. And in later years it got so. much. worse. The car became it's own parody. To me it now looks pretty arrogant and on the nose.

Please don't misunderstand. It's both beautiful and dreadful at the same time, and I see it both ways. My dream car turned into a guilty pleaure. Well I guess we change, and so do our dreams.

A Halloween Treat: 1969 Chevrolet ChevyVan 90


Awesome in so many ways! When I first saw it I immediately thought this was some sort of ex-military vehicle, But I recognized it as a Chev quickly enough. Such a scary look! Strange and menacing. There is no bad angle on this monster. The texture, the character. Formerly orange, like a Halloween candy that's gone bad.

It's too bad I couldn't get a proper picture of the back, what with the 10 foot drop behind it. It's probably not related to the restaurants of the same name.

1967 Chevrolet C10 Pickup


That loose hood makes me wonder what is underneath it. I should have asked the owner for a peek when I briefly chatted with him.

1953 Chevrolet Bel Air


Merry Chrismas to all!

Although this looks like it might be a 2 door, it is actually a 4 door missing the rear door handles.
The grille on this car is also a bit toothier than your regular Bel Air.
