Cadillac hearses from that era always make think of Merton's car in Big Wolf on Campus... but i can't find any pic of it..... :ohwell:

I've seen my share of 1990's Roadmasters in Florida. A few people have tried to sell them. If I had the $$$, I'd consider snagging one.
24/04/2017 @ 07:26:28: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
do you mean decently trying to sell them ? a few years ago i read in the classified ads in my newspaper a Buick Roadmaster ( don't remember the year but from that gen ) with nearly 175,000 miles and the guy was asking 10,000 $ for it :kiki:

Another one i remember was in the late 90' , a DeLorean at 33,000 $ . At least for this one you have a collectible car.......

Just too lazy to put an extra thread for this. But i just want to share this with you.

Ever interested in checking a chinese car prospect?

I was intrigued about the part when they explained the safety stuff (a bugger on all chinese cars) and how they called the ABS: "Four-wheel opposite-angle electronics". Oh yes, hide a good and cool system behind a gibberish name that no mortal man can understand.

Saw another weird car but could not make a screen of it because the battery of my dashcam was empty.

It was not the type of car which shocked me. No, it was how it was looking!

The car (a silver sedan) had no front fender, no rear fender, no trunk lid :eek: and no number plate. And it was driving on the street like the driver was saying "Hey look at me! I need no trunk lid to drive!".

Would be curious to let you guys ID it. I could not identify it. But no screen. :kiki:

Update 3 May 2017: Saw it again and now it revealed itself to be a silver E36 Convertible. Trunk lid and rear fender were added now. But still no number plates and front fender on this car. And no photo from my dashcam.

And to cap off this batch, a Ford shuttle bus rear-ended by a Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana (that light was yellow when I entered the intersection, I swear). I'm not sure why the giant tow truck is necessary, the bus still looks drivable.

I also received a cordial invitation to the Giulia launch event at the local Alfa Romeo-Fiat dealership. Way out of my price range, but I won't turn down the invitation to pretend. No Quadrifgoglios present; the only one they received in their initial shipment sold immediately.

Nice pics.. i was once invited by my local Mazda dealer for a similar event involving the 2012 Mazda 5 . I didn't went because .. well, what a single guy with no kids is gonna do with a minivan ? . I kind of regret it now.. not that Mazda 5 did interested me but just for the fun of being there

If i believe what i see, the 164 in your pic might be a Quadrifoglio so even if the Giulia's version wasn't there, you got to see one :smile:

Festiva wearing a mask ! :lol:

serious, i think i saw one ( Festiva, of course ) in the last 5 years...

Awesome time machine.... and funny look on the little red one, if it wasn't for headlights and exhaust pipe, we wouldn't know if it comes or go away...

Not fully sure.. i might be :crazy: ...
but i think i saw a Ghost...

And a big mention for the most stupid photographer award to me for not taking a pic of the rear, the only time i got this close to a Rolls-Royce ( as said before , in Montréal Auto Show they are behind fences and Rolls-Royce representants are looking at us like we're a bunch of half-dead rats... )


2nd one in fact, there was one last year in a car expo, a late 1980's one
Did got close to a few Bentley over the years, almost too close for one... :sweat:

nice pics guys.. for some reason i can't explain i like the 1962 Opel ..

I parked in front of this yesterday. i usually don't take pics of RVs but with its Acadian/Aspen/Spirit- inspired tail lights and the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang sidemarker ( or really inspired by it ) made me thought it was older but i found out it is 1987-1992 ( older ones i found have a different grille and vertical tail lights ) . i remember seeing those tail lights on a RV but i didn't remember ever seeing the front of it
