1993 Subaru Sambar
So small, but remarkably robust looking. You get a sense of how small it is when you see how high the curb comes up on the wheels in #4. Silver seems an unusual colour for these. Much like the Mazda Bongo, the sides of the load bed fold down.
Love the "big truck" style windows, the little latch handle on the gas door, the wire & metal clips that locks the sides and tailgate in place, and the single reverse light. So much functionality in such a small package. Sooner or later I'll post an even smaller truck.

1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula
Thanks to Pat, who told me about this car, and about how he autocrosses it. It was apparently found buried under pine needles and other forest debris down in Washington State, and after much work we can see the results. As you might guess, the wheels are from a larger but contemporary Pontiac, and they look great. Rear spoiler is from a Lumina (which certainly never needed it). Pontiac didn't build the Fiero for very long, and it wasn't until this, it's final year, that the car started living up to it's sporty looks.
I seriously thought about buying a Fiero in 1985. At the time it seemed impractical, but the boy racer in me was severely tempted. Examining this car, I love the oversized looking wheels, which fit the wheel wells perfectly. Almost every surface and shape slopes forward. The nose makes me think of a marine predator. A remarkable design for GM, better than expected. Too bad they didn't have the chops (or perhaps the management) to make the car under the skin as good as it's surface.

1990 Mazda Bongo truck
What's great about these little Japanese trucks is their absolute minimalism. Small cab on the front, drive train and load bed behind. No ornamentation, little in the way of styling. Fold the sides of the load bed down and you have a flatbed. A hard working truck perfect for it's hard working operator.

1990 Toyota HiAce Super Custom
JDM vans are somewhat common in Vancouver, however I've only seen few of these Toyotas.
Love the sloping, aerodynamic shape of the front door windows, and the interesting shut lines. Plus the extended step in front of the front wheel, and all those seemingly random sunroofs.

1989 Dodge Power Ram
Another victim of damp dark weather. The tags are current, the tires are fine, so this probably a driver, despite the moss.
The black frames around the lights give it a menacing look, along with the dents and dark colour.

1986 GMC Sierra Classic Camper Special
Despite the moss and damp and damage, this truck is still useful. The dents and debris just give it added texture. Missing hubcaps on the passenger side suggest close contact with curbs. Found in the same neighbourhood as this car.

1980 GMC Caballero
It's a Nova! No its an El Camino! No! It's a Cabellero! Another delightful car that GM built to amaze us with decades later.
The owner obviously has a sense of humour. Love the cheezie script used for the name badge, the "GMC" hood ornament, the recessed and curved rear window, the way the side windows slope forwards in front of the B pillar. And that profile that is both appealing and odd at the same time. Wheels are original, and the load bed doesn't seem to leak.
