The black and white unknown is a Plymouth valiant.

The black caddy is at least a 1980+. The 1977-79 had sloped roof.

The Delta 88 is a 1984-85 model with red and amber taillights

The "GMC Value Van" is a Hivco Uni-Van on a GMC chassis. We have some on the site, including at least one with the same GMC badge: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Hivco&model=

The Chrysler TC by Maserati sold 7300 cars in 1989-1991 and is widely considered a failure. This used car dealership in northeast North Carolina has 2 of them.

A few snapshot from the last days. Due stressy times in job, family and about our house, I've failed to visit classic car events in the last weeks :sad:
Hopefully the times for that become better.


It's always good to have camera with you, even when you just go to the grocery. Not a real good pic, but when the Scirocco, drive by a lady of the generation 80+, I had to drop my shopping bags and fumble the camera(mobile phone) out of the pocket.

Spotted in my village at a shot sunday-walk with my wife. The Coupé-version was always rare here.

Was in front of me yesterday when i left a car event ( every friday there is some cars in a mall parking lot not so far from home ) . I went twice ( last friday and yesterday ) and went to another one also last sunday... working hard to get the pics online ASAP ( choosing pics, ID the cars, etc... )

1939 Chevrolet ( unlike the sunday's one , there is no paper identifying the cars in the friday events ) . Wish i could got the Model T leaving the event on a pic too....

While a short boat trip during a K 70-meeting ....


DURING the meeting!!! Are they really so boring that even you need to escape??

DURING the meeting!!! Are they really so boring that even you need to escape??


Well - yes. Indeed. We know each other since many, often for more than twenty years and our cars, too. We have helped each other to keep them running, so there's nothing spectacular any more at all. So the sociability among friends is more important.

Plus the fact, that many of our spouses -at least all- really hate it, when we are all standing around open bonnets and are talking about the bits inside.

Something, which is sometimes not even really helpful :grin:

Here you see 250 years of K 70-experience (really, I've just counted it again)

https://imageshack.com/i/c9img1960xj

at one place - and the problem of the kansasbeige K 70 in the middle could not be solved :kiki:
There was even a large disagreement about the reason of the problem in general.

#2 is definitely something late 60ies Japanese.

The Camrys are looking like they were placed there for the truck, which deliver them to the next ship to Africa.

P.S. I think, you mean Google Street View, not Google Earth :wink:
