Honourary Old Parked Car: 1996 Toyota HiAce Firetruck

One of the owners told me that in Japan there are small fire stations scattered at regular intervals throughout the countryside, each equipped with a small truck like this.

This one came as a fully functioning firetruck, with hoses, clothing, tools, etc however it is now used for hauling building materials, so all that had to be removed. Apparently there are a number of these in the Lower Mainland, and I have seen a few about.

1990 Citroën 2CV6 Spécial

The owner says this 2CV was built only a few months before production ceased altogether.

I particularly enjoy the strange window behind the C pillar.

1977 Pontiac Acadian

1980 Chevrolet Corvette

The owner says that he has had the original anemic engine replaced with a more modern and powerful V8, plus assorted restoration.

I have to admit that despite my ... umm ... distaste ... for Corvettes of the late 70s / early 80s, I enjoyed seeing and taking pictures of this car. There are lots of interesting shapes which can be extracted from it, and the red is really Red. It almost made me revive the "guilty pleasure" tag.
