1991 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
When I shot this one I thought... well the light is crappy, the car is too new, it's just not, um, something. It probably won't work out. But I played with the images a bit, reconsidered them, and now this seems OK.
Dirty, dusty and somewhat rusty. GM was desperately trying to turn a Cavalier (!) into a muscle car. You know they are trying too hard when they have to add all kinds of junk like the red/purple/blue badge, the aero bits all around the base of the body. And naming it "Z24", as if a front drive car could be somehow related to a Z28. Silly, really, but that's what makes it interesting.

1966 Morgan +4
The owner said the reason this car was found in this particular spot is because this is where it dropped the clutch, and also where it was awaiting a flatbed lift to a specialist.
Ahh that rounded nose/grille leading into the classic hood (or should I say "bonnet") flanked by the dramatic fenders, which lead all the way back to the similar back fenders That remarkable real wood dash & steering wheel. The sticker on the windshield. A design unchanged and still in production today.

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.
