1967 AMC Rambler American Convertible

Seats seem to be from a later Pacer.

1963 Austin-Healy 3000 Mark III

Another remarkable shape from England, this one more sensuous than many.

Ah that finely sculpted countenance leading back into the sweeping fenders and doors, the rear fenders looking just a little too compressed above the wheel. The side chrome accents -- door handle, window sill, strip set into the fender. Wonderful wire wheels. All somewhat marred by the excessively tall roof.

1975 MG MGB

Appears to have been parked where it is for some time, and cleared of debris occasionally. Sad about the damage, but of course that's makes it more interesting.

The shape of that heavy front bumper actually works well in preserving the profile and sporty looks. The rear bumper is good too. That sloping front profile is so classic, and over all the car really was designed beautifully.

1971 Mercedes Benz 280SL

Elegant and functional. Owner says it has not been restored (aside from paint), and it shows in minor dings plus wear on the interior (which is still excellent, particularly for white). The nicely domed hood, clapping wipers and chromed air intake, the excellent colour, separate left & right rear bumpers, the narrow shut lines which do not interrupt the flow of fine lines leading from the headlights to the tail. And those wheel arches!

Oh sure there are a few excesses -- the bits of chrome everywhere, including the chrome exhaust extension, but even that has a durable look to it. A car fit for a playboy.

1966 Morgan +4

The owner said the reason this car was found in this particular spot is because this is where it dropped the clutch, and also where it was awaiting a flatbed lift to a specialist.

Ahh that rounded nose/grille leading into the classic hood (or should I say "bonnet") flanked by the dramatic fenders, which lead all the way back to the similar back fenders That remarkable real wood dash & steering wheel. The sticker on the windshield. A design unchanged and still in production today.

1968 Dodge Dart GT Convertible

Owner is a nice guy -- the practical sort. Said most of the damage on the passenger side is from an attempt to steal the car. He bought it from a relative who already had it painted pink.

Ah that leather wrapped steering wheel! And all that shiny black leather and chrome inside, particularly the transmission tunnel. Just the right amount of chrome for a sporty car of the era. That pugnacious appearance -- sharp edges front and rear, fenders and hood extending forward just beyond the headlights & mostly blacked out grille. Style cues from larger Dodges, but still stands well on it's own.
