An old panel delivery truck. Not familiar with the make though.

Sweet.

I don't know what that is, but it's sure a beauty.

Nice '71' Caddy

They had unique seats too. I put them in my '55' chevy because when you trip the side lever, the front seats would fold all the way back to match the height of the rear seat, so the whole car became a bed (You know, in case I got sleepy or something).

Yeah, had a couple of 66 chargers where the buckets lay over and created a bed. Because I got sleepy occasionally too. (cough cough)

I think the Little Blue Panel Van was an Austin Morris 1000 from about '68

This is a Royale Sabre... a component car which was built by a British Guy some time in the 80's.. for the European market

Yeah, I could see you in a '57' chevy cruisin around. It needs to be a convertible though with the long hair and all.

Yes, How did you know? A black and white convertible!
You must be psychic!

The 1965 Volkswagen Beetle was my first car.
And today, I still own a Volkswagen (besides my Jeep) ... guess I just won't learn
This one is a 2012 Passat 3.6L Direct Injection with 108K on the clock. 0-60 in 6.4seconds and up to 160 on the speedometer.
The '65 Beetle got 25mpg and in 1969, gas was thirty two cents a gallon. Served me well as a teenager that liked to drive around a lot.
This 2012 Passat gets up to 28mpg ... better than the old Beetle ... and is plenty fast for an old guy.

'69' Buick Riviera

Ha ha. No, just couldn't see you in anything other than a drop top. You're a free spirit. A sedan would be much too confining.

Nice ride. VW has come a long way from the old days.

Wife has had a love affair with drop tops forever. Must be a lady thing... ehhhh?
Now if only I'd kept them all.

Ha ha. You are a dog. But you know, a guy needs to get comfortable when you have to stretch out a little.
