1975 MG MGB
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.

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.

1972 Porsche 911T
Besides the beautiful shape, the colour is still striking even though on close inspection the paint is slightly peeling. Love those bold chrome wheels, an unconventional choice at the time. Clearly the 911 owes a great deal of it's design to the original VW Beetle. The vent under each headlight gives the impression of a moustache. The manner in which the sealed beams were mounted into the chrome housings give it a slightly surprised look.
My apologies for the cropping of the rear 3/4 shot. Photographer error -- not in computer error.

1971 Ford Maverick 4 Door
I was severely tempted to tag this "malaise", it would completely fit but this car pre-dates the era.
Oh that yellow! Has to be original (though repainted). Note also the lock mechanism hanging out of the door, the oddly sharp ridge running the length of the side, those dark/bright hubcaps. And the profile is so like a Challenger/Barracuda, though a Maverick is as similar to those as it is to the cars that surround this example.
