1977 Chevrolet Silverado Shortbox

You can just make out the spider that has built it's web by a headlight -- proof of the stationary nature of this truck. That and last year's tags.

That single new looking wheel -- perhaps sanded and re-painted, or a new replacement for a hopelessly rusted one. The dual gas doors imply dual gas tanks. The matte painted sections suggest this is a hipster type project. So do the artfully rusty doors.

What really gets me are the overall proportions due to the short load bed. There's just something about that profile.

1980 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado

1968 Mercury Pickup

Finish on the background fence matches the finish on the truck's added wood.

Keen observers will note that one of these pictures has something unusual about it. Which one and what is it?

1967 AMC Rambler American Convertible

Seats seem to be from a later Pacer.

1982 Toyota Cressida

Points of interest: Odd diagonal grille, single wheel cap still present on those stock mesh wheels despite being on the curb side, pleasant patina scattered about. It has a practical appearance despite it's luxury pretensions. This car really lives in Honda Accord territory.

1985 Ford LTD LX

I had not realized that the car you see was kind of special for technical reasons until I looked it up. The blacked out grille and faded red stripe hidden in the side strip should have tipped me off. I hope it is just awaiting restoration under it's guardian motion sensor light.

What with constrained space and steel barrel, I could not get a proper profile, or a shot of the "LTD LX" badge on the trunk lid.

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.

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.
