1985 Buick LeSabre Limited Collectors Edition

Yes, GM actually named a car "Collectors Edition", apparently because this was last year of the rear wheel drive version. It just adds to the the absurd charm of this anachronism on wheels. The car looked old school when it was new.

Lens distortion and fog c/o my cell phone.

1989 Jeep Wagoneer Limited

What really draws my attention is the striking resemblance to the mid 60s AMC Ambassador. It's the stacked chrome headlight surround, and that strong horizontal bar across the grille.

That groovy fake wood-grain is a great feature.

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Cabriolet

So good to see such an old Rabbit. It's unclear to me whether it has just been very gently used, or restored and driven normally.

While it may be of uncertain colour, I'm calling it red. It's definitely not the standard VW orange. Regardless, I love that paint, the glossy "eggshell" grain visible in the close-ups, the contrast with the black trim, and patch in front of the rear wheel-well. Wheels may be original -- would look great with the simple original chrome hubcaps. Aside from the few dents, looks incredibly straight.

1990 Toyota HiAce Super Custom

JDM vans are somewhat common in Vancouver, however I've only seen few of these Toyotas.

Love the sloping, aerodynamic shape of the front door windows, and the interesting shut lines. Plus the extended step in front of the front wheel, and all those seemingly random sunroofs.
