1983 Hyundai Pony
Ah yeah a classy econobox you just don't see any more. Good to see someone is still putting it to good use. It fits right in with it's surroundings. Don't think they used the same paint on the concrete though.

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup
I knew there must be something interesting in the area when I saw three motorcycles in the front yard in various states of assembly. Given it's current environment in deepest darkest Commercial Drive, this rare car is in pretty good shape.
One must wonder what Volkswagen executives were thinking when they decided to build a truck based on the Rabbit. Probably decided to build cars in the US at the same meeting. Seeing that long loadbed behind the econobox front is now a treat.
BTW 1778 is the address, not the year.

1986 Plymouth Reliant Wagon
Note the Chrysler pentagon but Plymouth labelling (held on by metal fasteners), with all other badges completely missing, the wipers wrapped in newspaper.
Also the banal hubcaps, egg crate grille, the vast glass area / narrow pillars. I took a shot of the "Buckle Up For Safety" sticker in the window, but exactly this shot appears on "The Street Peep".

1988 Toyota 4Runner SR5
What makes this truck particularly interesting is the removable roof. With the roof off (which I have almost never seen) the entire area behind the front seats is uncovered, which is probably a blast for anyone in the back seat.
Also turns it into a sort of pickup if the rear seats are removed. However one might be concerned that the load could crash into the people in the front seats on a sudden stop.
Toyotas were the among prototypical modern SUVs. A sleek appearance blended with those (unnecessarily) large & aggressive fenders. This truck has few luxuries, maximum utility and reliability.

1984 Ford EXP
Another "sporty" car that never was. Lots of sharp angles, smooth looking surfaces, but the taillights look like they were stolen from a Chrysler Laser. Somehow the stylist couldn't see how ugly the headlight treatment was. Which makes it all the more delightful. Ah the foibles of car company executives.
Still, they did a nice job of integrating the front side marker into the dent strip. The shape of the light blue paint on the front fenders suggests a sleek aerodynamic profile buried under the clunky design.

1993 Subaru Sambar
Since I first became aware of "kei" trucks, I've found them fascinating. And four wheel drive? Almost more than you need!
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.
