Cars That Got Away:1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible1969 Cadillac Sedan de Ville1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon

Of recent I've had the slightly annoying experience of finding a great car, only to have the owner hop in and drive it away. I get to talk to them which is nice, but I don't get many pictures, or many good pictures. So I'm making use of what I could get. Maybe some day I will find these cars again. Enjoy!

Hardtops have a peculiar appeal. That long unsupported section of roof and the empty space beneath it says "look at me and how powerful I am".

When I saw that "ornament" on the grille I thought it had just been added in an attempt to be ironic. After only a little research, it appears original.

I'm guessing this car used to be painted red or white. At least when the matte fad is over it can be restored. I love the scratched steering wheel, and the way the transmission lever and shaft are left (dangerously?) exposed next to the steering column, the way the front wheel arch rises just a bit too close to the arrow straight trim, and is embraced by the side sculpting which flows back from the outside headlight.
