Seen last week, and apparently used as a daily driver, a 1972-75 Citroën SM:

Not a vintage one yet but just couldn't remember the last time i saw one...

Now hybrids/electric vehicles have a green writing on the license plate instead of the blue one but it came out after the 1st gen Insight went out of production.

There is also a 1st gen Toyota Prius that pops up in my sight from time to time but i did not succeed to get a pic yet

good thing i had my camera this time, forgot it yesterday and missed a Tesla Model X and a nearly showroom condition early 1990's Chevy Corsica.... :ohwell:

^ Still a small handful of them down here, although I rarely see them either. And hats off to you and eLMeR for ID'ing that Chevy truck, I'm always bad with trucks.

Mmmmmmm...... snow-less pics.... :grin:

the first pick-up seems to be 1947-1948 only due to the lack of fuel cap behind the passenger door but our old truck expert ( more known as eLMeR .... ) surely can tell better than me :smile:

the BMW no.8 is a old 3-Series , colored bumpers came a little bit later in that generation's life.
the number 7 makes me think of a mid 80's 5-Series but not fully sure of that

El Camino could be 1970 as well but once again, not fully sure....
nice little Sentra :wink:


About the Insight, a few minutes later, the owner arrived . He told me that there was only about 700 of them sold all over Canada...


Just curious : is the mountain on the last pic the one made famous for its other side ?

The hill in the last pic is just an ordinary little hill, not Mount Hollywood :grin: I'm in a region called the "Inland Empire", just east of Los Angeles proper.

I wouldn't normally post 90s cars but as the years go on, and more species of 90s cars become endangered, I might as well ID them before they go extinct in the wild. :grin:

[...] the first pick-up seems to be 1947-1948 only due to the lack of fuel cap behind the passenger door [...]

1947-53 front face for sure, but the fuel filler pipe should be visible between the cab and the rear wheel arch, on a 1947-48 model.

The right door is a 1947-50 one (visible lock under the door handle) with a 1950+ vent window, so most probably a 1950 only door?

To add further confusion, the hood side badge looks a lot like a 1955 model (here's a 1953-54 one for comparison), while the hood end emblem is a 1947-53 version...

⇒ another Frankenstein's creature, with this broken/zombie bed? :grin:

Sounds indeed like a 1982-88 E28 for me too.

6. you must be kidding, right ? :wink:
The iconic Chevy Corvette .. seems to be 1965-1966 with those fender vents...

7. Makes me think of Happy Gilmore's Duster ( or related friend ) but i'm not totally sure

11. looks like an early one to me ( around 1983-1986 )
12. Could be a rare BMW M3 .. saw only 2 of those in my life, both in a vintage car exposition. saying could because it look genuine to me ( sadly with some..alterations ) but tuning can change a car...
18. 2-door Camry appeared in 1994, since this one still has the prefacelift face, would be a 1994 only
19. with those tail lights, you can say 1992 too :smile:
22. i suppose unknown is for the coupe on the left : 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am.. or is it for the Volks Beetle Convertible... ( sedan is 2013-2015 Honda Accord )
25. Those little things are scaring me...... since i nearly knocked one out of its spot as i thought the parking place was available and was between a Honda Odyssey and a Chevy Tahoe ( or GMC Yukon ) and had to slam the brakes to avoid an embarassing hit... :whistle:

6. I'm more familiar with the 1970s+ Corvettes :huit:
12. Yep, sadly it has been molested
18. There's a rare Toyota Camry Wagon of that same generation I keep seeing in my area too, but I haven't caught it on dashcam yet
19. Ah, I thought it may have still been called the 323 then
22. Yes, the coupe. I forgot about Pontiac's later products (90s+).

#7 is a Duster

#8 is a 280ZX 2+2


Thanks, I always forget about the 2+2... :ddr555:

nice collection of 5-Series.. no.7 & no.11 are members of that series
4 is a Mercedes S-Class
5 is right, it is a 1985+ Camaro
9 i don't know for the GLE part but it is a 1990-1992 740 ( but not Turbo )
10 rare thing, 1st time i see one from the point of view of someone who saw it... wasn't sold in Canada, still wonder why as Québec is a hatchback-buying province..
15/16 i think they are 1992-1996/1997 ( blue one might be a F-150 )
21 is just like you said, 1991-1992 ( and a Z28 )
22 what are they carrying ? thanks for the pic but snow-less is way more fun to watch than the Sentra.. :grin:
30 the Integra is a 1998-2001 , one of my uncles had one ( a red one ..he also had a 1994 green one )
34 is a 1991-1995 Toyota MR2
21/02/2017 @ 17:29:22: night cub: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
#7 is actually a 7-Series [E23] :ohwell:
#10 it's Corolla FX, DX was a sedan/wagon trim level
#20 is a Buick Century
#26 you have no idea what a rare sight it is to see the original Sephia. The first Kias here have all disappeared. Never see them on eBay or Cars.com or Craigslist.

#22 - Yeah I couldn't tell if they had simply lowered it in the back (I've seen people do that because they think it's cool :grin: ) or if they had some serious weight back there.

#7 is actually a 7-Series [E23] :ohwell:
#10 it's Corolla FX, DX was a sedan/wagon trim level

#26 you have no idea what a rare sight it is to see the original Sephia. The first Kias here have all disappeared. Never see them on eBay or Cars.com or Craigslist.


#10 - I knew it was something-X, I just forgot which one. :grin:
#20 - Oldsmobile and Buick made very similar-looking cars for a few decades that it's hard for me to tell apart the twins (like Century and Ciera)
#26 - Yeah even I had not seen such an old Kia, even more suprising that it was actually running and not billowing smoke out the back. :lol: I did see a mint-condition late-80s Hyundai Sonata sedan in South L.A. a few years ago. It looked like it was fresh off the dealer lot.
