previous post. All in all a remarkable find.
The Corvette looks great, its just that it tries too hard. Earlier generations of the 'Vette never needed front and rear spoilers to look amazing. This is more like marketing than engineering. Of the three, this vehicle seems closest to roadworthy.
Love the Ford's cockeyed headlight, oddly wide rear tires, earnest look, plus the all important fuzzy dice. And how can you not like a vehicle that calls itself "super". There will be more super vehicles here.
Once again, working in a cramped space, so profile shots are nearly impossible. Also I ran up against the 200 character tag limit on this post.
As promised, the other two vehicles of interest visible in the background of the Contact

1976 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Cadillac has had such fine examples of excess, repeated in endless variation. The condition of this car only heightens its monstrosity. Such amazing trim pieces above and beyond what one would find on it's less gaudy but still impressive Cadillac siblings. I particularly enjoy the third picture for its crazed look. Although the Cadillac insignia is everywhere, the most prominent marking is "E L D O R A D O".
Sadly, due to cramped conditions no profile shot was possible.
Photographing the main attraction inevitably got other interesting cars into the background. These will be in the next post.

1967 Dodge Tradesman Van (A108)
Another silent witness to the past, glowing against a dull rainy day. So glad it can have a new life.
Love the way the owner has exaggerated the front features with black paint. And then there's the "Y", of course.
I think it's a A108 -- looks long enough.

1986 GMC Sierra Classic Camper Special
Despite the moss and damp and damage, this truck is still useful. The dents and debris just give it added texture. Missing hubcaps on the passenger side suggest close contact with curbs. Found in the same neighbourhood as this car.
