[...] Volvo PV, the PV 444 I believe [...]

It seems indeed to have the 2-piece windshield of a PV444, all the more as the blinkers are between the headlamps and the grille, not in the corner of the body. Most certainly a late model, due to the shape of the grille.

saw a Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet today with a Québec licence plate and it had DRL too. Sadly i don't have a pic of it since i was driving and i don't own a cell phone ( and wouldn't took the risk of getting a 100+ $ ticket and 4 demerit points anyway ) but i had it in front of me for a few minutes

found some in sale in Quebec to prove that i'm not :crazy: ( at least, not yet )

The linked pic was taken same day already in place, I mentioned in my previous post and the grey Żuk from my 1st pic is also visible in the backgrond.

Taillights on the side of the car and one-piece rear window make it a 1954-58 model, according to this site and the comment of this picture. Which confirms the "late model" of my previous comment :wink:

That is 1963 model year only due to small rear door.
27/05/2015 @ 15:00:18: eLMeR: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
... or 1962 only, as the "wide" blinkers were present apparently from 1962 onwards on some markets, and as Wikipedia says 1963 model year for the large rear door. Like for the T2a/T2b switch, the T1b/T1c one seems to be flexible :grin:

A good companion for this VW can be an also accidentally met 1973+ Estafette:

It slowly ends its life or waits for 2nd (3rd?) one.

I like the door locking system :grin:

Or it is "suicide doors" conversion. :wink:

Walking the dog makes me discover some strange vehicles, sometimes. Seen yesterday in the early evening:
http://photos.elmer.re/_data/i/upload/2015/06/01/20150601031746-92951d9a-sm.jpg

I first thought about a Jeep of some kind, but it appears to have a full plastic body, and the small valve in front of the grille doesn't really look like a standard automotive one...
The plate number indicates a registration made in December 2010. Was it a new registration, or just the switch from the former system?

Related with premiere of the new Mad Max movie? :grin:
Grille (and part below it) is very similar to old Land Cruiser: http://www.toyota-global.com/showroom/vehicle_heritage/landcruiser/collection/model_40_1.html
but seems a bit more squared...



Same color :sol:
01/06/2015 @ 17:31:52: eLMeR: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
There is indeed an old Land Cruiser in the neighborhood, but the plate number is different and it's still unchanged...
I'll try to meet the person who does that job, it could be the same one who was restoring this Unic Daily in the same street.

The interior space was shortened to fit the engine.

I found a good example of 2015 Chevrolet City Express LS at the local Chevrolet dealer while I had my car checked out:
