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!

To be honest, I'm disappointed with how the first two pictures came out. Which is why I include the next two more dynamic pictures. And them I found myself just ignoring how crooked any picture was and just keeping the car straight. For the most part.
There were loads of people on the street doing some sort of scavenger hunt, and I couldn't keep them out of the frame.

I guess Cadillacs of the 70s just don't have their headlights firmly mounted. Love the vast expanse of the hood, with the large elevated section -- shrunken compared to predecessors but still present, like some inherited glandular condition. And it still has vestigial fins, 15 years after they went out of style.

Nice eroded paint on the hood and grille surround. Turn indicators actually do look elegant, as do the shapes of the wheel wells. Unlike many full sized GM vehicles of the era, the wheels & tires don't look too small for the car.

Another vehicle missing passenger side hubcaps.
