1985 Porsche 944 Turbo

1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne 20 Custom Camper

Fenders are new and thus missing the "Cheyenne" badge. The GMC tailgate was added as a matter of expediency over authenticity. The owner says that this truck is still in use, often transporting volleyball equipment.

1969 Ford Econoline SuperVan Camper

The spare tire hides the "Supervan" badge.

Ian's Two Chevys: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible + 1965 Chevrolet Sportvan Deluxe

I saw this great car, took pictures, then the owner came out and we had a chance to talk. He is justifiable proud of his 'Vette, but also excited about his latest acquisition, and invited me around back to see it:

Unfortunately I could not get most of the shots I normally want. The bench seat was a separate purchase. Amazing to think that both of these vehicles were designed by the same company and produced in the same year. Love the tiny windows behind the front doors. And oh that flat windshield!

I ran into the tag limit again on this post.

1985 Maserati Biturbo E

The owners says it is all original aside from replacing the American bumpers with euro style.

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.
