This is magnificent. Why does no-one make cars this cool anymore?

A Hornet turned up at the American car meet at the Cheshire Lounge recently - it was a good two feet longer than my Amazon. Probably the same difference in width.

 

I wonder if that CARS film has pushed values up at all?

[AnthonyG]

Not a fan of the wheels on that 64 Ford Galaxie, totally out of proportion, although the rest is still good. Quite like the 'paid for' no plate though...

[fordpoplier]

Had a couple of trips up state and one to Vermont so lots of these shots were out in the sticks.

 

Some fine Barried up examples

Pimp with caravan

interesting hoods

this was tucked in an underground car park

10/10 as ever!

 

What's this?

he middle bit looks suspiciously like a Mk1 cavalier....

[fiatdaft]

buick skyhawk,called the j body one of the american versions of the mark 2 cavi.

[Ratdat]

Quality pics Don't suppose you checked out how much this Falcon was up for did you?

 

[VWPowered]

 

thats cool, like the 181 too

[fordpoplier]

Sorry Ratdat, was the only pic I took of it and even zooming in on the original the price is a bit blurry.

[AnthonyG]

Love the 1950s Buicks, 50+ years old and still going strong. Somehow I doubt crap like the 80s Skyhawk will still be mobile in 2029.

[Gompo]

What's the American version of 'Barry' or 'Barried' then? Just 'ricers' or is there something else?Great pics as always.. Cheers.

[Heep]

Don't see four-door pillarless hardtops anymore. Shame.

 

Love these, notorious hunks of junk. One of my earliest memories from when I was 4 years old involved one dead in our driveway. I'd love to have one, ha.

 

Whoa! Haven't seen one of these in years. When I was wee my neighbours had the possibly even rarer Oldsmobile Firenza variant, and in estate form too.

 

Great shots sir!

[fordpoplier]

No real phrase for 'Barried up' or even 'Chav' over here although we can certainly fit inappropriate spoilers to shagged Hondas with the best of them. I've heard people refer to shite old cars as 'a bit of a Hoopty' but generally people just call them 'clunkers' hence our version of 'Scrappage' is called 'cash for clunkers'

[fordpoplier]

Sorry for the enormous dump but they just keep on coming.

 

Booted one of these, don't think I've seen one before:

Another nice old Toyota

Total giffer wagon but with window tints, boy racer wheels and no sills

Only noticed this was streched as was taking the shot

just add paint for taxi

Some good and bad Buicks, you decide

Jolly!

Defo some WTF going on with this

Car show convoy

not so Jolly

paint job probably seemed like a good idea at the time

[AnthonyG]

Interesting - a stretched Pontiac (blue 70s barge), rare I should think particularly as it wasn't the poshest of GM brands. Maybe it was more of a stretched taxi than a limo, like those Checker 'airport run' things with 6 doors. I have a Dinky model of a Superior ambulance based on a 62 Pontiac, so possibly they did Pontiac limos and hearses as well.

[pogweasel]

THIS:

 

 

Is the coolest thing EVAR.

FACT.

[michiel]

Hell yeah!

 

This is nice:

 

[Gompo]

This is cool, some parts make it look quite old; possibly the door handles.

 

 

As is this for some reason:

 

 

I like the fake chrome on many of these cars, just seems to add to their atmosphere. Over here cars seemed to stop with all this during the late 80's and 90's

[fordpoplier]

Hello all, been a little while since I dumped the camera, these were from over the summer, there's a couple of repeat spots here, just better views

 

spotted this in the Bronx during the cash for clunkers fiasco

 

I absolutley do not know what this is

 

this was a beauty

this mini snuck by while I was pushing the kids on the swings

always something in Home Depot car park

my father in law had two of these, they are horrible

don't see many of these VWs at all

this appeared at a local garage a few months back, was still there last week

[seth]

I absolutley do not know what this is

Its a '49-'51 Ford. The lenses probably differ year to year but I'm not sure which it is.

 

The '49 Merc front sheet metal must surely be worth something!

[michiel]

Nice update - love that last one, Dodge Wayfarer pops to mind?

[fordpoplier]

An update from the 'burbs, clearing off the camera to makes space for xmas shots I can see there's stuff here from the summer so this is over a couple of months:

 

When did you last see a minivan with a toilet on the roof?

 

Visited a local car show a while back, was lots of show queens but there was a little shite:

 

And the rest are basically on the street...

This was a pretty in an understated way

A burned out shite carier

still haven't managed to get a proper shot of this

[barrett]

I had forgotten how handsome these facelift Corvairs were in 4dr form, so understated.

 

Just been through this whole thread and it's making me very excited about my trip to the states next year! Top spots sir!

[brammy777]

Hey Justys look really weird and naked without that AWD symbol down the sides....Cars still rust quite a bit in the states then?

[bigstraight6]

Cars still rust quite a bit in the states then?

I'm always amazed at how rusty some of the stuff is in Fordpops pics, still I suppose NY winters are quite harsh! still lots of old gear about though which is always nice to see

[Milford Cubicle]

Hey Justys look really weird and naked without that AWD symbol down the sides....

It's a 4WD symbol to signify part-time 4WD - not gr8 4 dry tarmac, etc. AWD signifies full-time 4WD.The Justy was offered in 2WD form in the US and much of the rest of the world I think.

[VWPowered]

 

mitsi colt maybe

[Milford Cubicle]

It's an Isuzu Gemini

Ah yes youre right, got confused with our old Subaru there.

[Milford Cubicle]

To be fair, the design does look like it reads AWD from a distance, but if you look closely there is no bottom left line on the 'A'

[Gompo]

That early grey Porsche is lovely. Is it a 912?

 

What's this:

 

 

Cant decide if I like them or not, obviously the wheels dont suit it. I'm sure I've seen them before but at that angle it's confusing me a bit.

 

..Cheers for spots!
