Tat from NY suburbs Aug 13th 2014 update

Hey hey etc, that is a great spot!

[fordpoplier]

Yikes, camera's full again. A couple of wedges to start

some slightly less compact vehicles

plain old grim

this was in the same car park as the X19

Be Good!

[michiel]

If 'Being Good' includes jumping up and down in my seat at the sight of that black not-a-Lincoln but a Continental then yes, I'll Be Good!

[face]

Hot-Dang! I love this!

 

[AnthonyG]

That black Continental Mk11 is a real thing of beauty.

 

These were never offically a Lincoln - the Continental divison was a short lived attempt at a very high end luxury marque for Ford, it only survived from 1955 to 1958.

 

They were $10,000 in 1955 dollars, more than twice as much as the most expensive Cadillac. Ford lost money on each one and only a few thousand were made.

 

Superb build and almost instant classic status means a good survival rate.

[Mr Lobster]

Some superb stuff there. Your photos always make me want to go to America and just drive around.

[Gompo]

Pics very much appeciated

 

Cheers.

[Rusty Pelican]

Love these pics from over the pond , no idea what half of them are but the one behind the crisscross fence reminds me of that possesed red one

haha, you mean Christine? The was a '58 Plymouth Fury, the one behind the fence is a '58 Dodge. So yeh, they look similar because they are essentially the same.

Cheers , could i remember the name , could i hell , good film , wish my car would fix itself the same way .

[VWPowered]

one of the best films of all time, really got me when i was a nipper, always liked the Christine shape Fury after that

[fordpoplier]

I took a different route visiting the outlaws upstate recently and stumbled across a pretty run down area in Ulster Country called Malden. Most of these were on a 10 mile strip of road.

These were from a dealership in The Bronx

And assorted shite from the burbs

[Mr_Bo11ox]

GR16 snaps!!! That Hyundai looks ideal for a nerd-type comedy loser character from a US college sitcom.

[michiel]

Excel-lent pics!

[eddyramrod]

I can see I'm going to have to instigate a thread, aren't I? I spend my US vacations driving around snapping random cars at the roadside, or soemtimes even oncoming. Mrs Ramrod doesn't seem to enjoy these trips a whole lot...

 

Mind I do the same wherever I am, you want to see the file I have of Cyprus photos, and I've only lived here a bit over a year! Never go out without the camera.

 

Meanwhile, some great spots, fordpoplier, keep 'em coming!

[FredTransit]

Bump for a real thread.....

[fordpoplier]

Hello all, camera requires a dump pre 'holiday season' so here we go. Most are very local

 

Tired of snow wolves?

Wife photographed this during a trip through CT back from Boston

more local stuff at the back of a dealership

but what is this doing there

Brit boy racers on I95

and the rest a bit slower

[fordpoplier]

i missed these

[Lukas]

 

Toyota Paseo? Honda Integra?

[seth]

Wow, that TVR must be mega unusual in the US.

[face]

 

Diesel 332.9?

[fordpoplier]

Lukas, that's a Barried up Honda Accord.

Seth, indeed not a common sight, not sure I've seen another TVR of that age here ever.

Face, I have to confess - F knows what what's under the bonnet of that Merc, it's just been sat at the side of a garage too long.

[michiel]

I think Face means the advertised price of diesel?

 

Great update!

[Heep]

Great spots!

 

Particularly like the 405 Estate and Renault Alliance...that Iveco is neat too, never seen one here.

[face]

Great update!

 

 

I do indeed

[Split_Pin]

I like those 80's Mustangs .

[barrett]

Cool Beans Bro! (wot?)

 

Sorry to be a typical 'car guy' but that SuperBee would get it, repeatedly, in every position. So would the big white Buick (?) coupe.

The Renner Alliance thing is cool though, obvs

I'd love a Mercedes-Benz 332.9SL though.

Er, Renault Alliance, you can keep! The "big white Buick" is just that, a 68 Riviera which was the top of the range. I'd be going for the grey Cadillac behind it, or the two-blue 56 Oldsmobile out on the street. Or the Super Bee, natch.

[fordpoplier]

Hello all. Most of these were taken over the holiday period when visiting friends/relatives and of course the most shite route was always taken.

 

We start with the dream VW garage.

 

And I’ve been to this place in Connecticut before but there’s always something to see.

 

This had a hand painted rear end and stick on gold trim everywhere. CLASS!

 

These were 10 miles from my inlaws house, discovered whilst out ‘shopping’

 

and more local treats

 

Keep ‘em peeled!
