1966 Buick Electra 225

What a remarkable car. Those knife edge fins, that extreme length, especially in the rear overhang. All of this exaggerated by the moderate lowering. The extravagant fender skirt which melds with the door and the fender, continuing the chrome strip all the way to the rear bumper seam. The full width tailights. The sharp edge between the roof and the rear window.

All just as practical as the non-functional "ventiports", but still a work of art.

1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Wedged between a Yaris and a Bolar, another tight situation allowing no profile shot.

Particularly like the "fetlocks" -- the lower fins projecting from behind the front wheels, through the great fender skirts to the bumper. They look positively dangerous. And the grille-like panel between the bumper and trunk lid.

1961 Ford Thunderbird

This is clearly an imitation of the idealized rockets found in movies of the time. Who wouldn't want to drive a rocket sled with a gimmicky swing away steering wheel?

1969 Citroën DS21

A remarkable car which I'd been hoping to find parked for a while.

Of note
- The massive single spoke of the eroded chrome steering wheel visible through dirt on the window in #5, as well as the unusual positioning of the semi-automatic transmission lever, in #5 & #6.
- Ribbed aluminum in the C pillar (also in the skinny B pillar) supporting the curious elevated rear turn indicators
- Beautiful aerodynamic shape, accentuated by it's lowered body when parked. So far ahead of it's time.
- That emblematic shape of the headlight glass -- unlike any of it's contemporaries.
