Many of the older full-size sedans had Landaulet vinyl roofs, possibly to guard against sun-fading. The most common cars I saw were VW rabbits and Toyota Crown saloons. Sorry, I paid little attention to vans, but I assume there were quite a few 80s-style VW microbuses. As always, there were the usual Japanese-orign Nissan/Toyota/Isuzu pickups. Had I known of IMCDB then I would have taken pictures of the camp buses for moving soldiers around on base. I have a couple of shots of a coach bus, stuck in the sand, that soldiers who were passengers were asked to push out!
The other striking automotive item I found was an abundance of step-side American pickup trucks. I never knew so many were built between the 1970s-80s! I can only speculate that it was easer to attach various types of cargo to them.
I'm sure the automotive environment there is very dynamic. This is just what I witnessed more than four years ago.
What do you guys think about my 1959 Bel Air to which I linked earlier in this thread? (I wished I could have bought it and shipped it home!!
