From the "Holy shit, somebody actually bought one?" files, a Saab 9-7X (AKA rebadged Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rainier)

Lincoln MKT Hearse. Haven't see one of these before.

 

 

 

 

BMW M5. Not shite but I couldn't resist snapping it.

 

[michiel]

Someone snapped one of those Lincolns over here, odd choice for a hearse in Holland (although we are all getting heavier and heavier):

Classic MG T-Series.

Nice. I particularly like the Walmart wheel trim on the Rolls Royce.

1977 Mercedes Benz 300D I spotted for sale.  Apart from a couple of rust holes, it looks pretty good.

11 September 2013 A-Team Van update!

 

 

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...The A-Team!

 

.

[cort16]

At least that A-Team van's the real deal. Here they're usually lashed up out of old Day Vans with the stripe going over the window on the side or shagged out smiley faced Ford Transits.

Mercury Comet

 

 

 

 

The world's last running (Well, I think it still runs, anyway?) Chevrolet Chevette.

 

 

 

 

A pair of Alfas.

 

 

 

 

Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.

 

 

 

 

Chevy Luv pickup (a rebranded 1970s Isuzu).  I thought they had all rusted away by the mid-'80s.

Sweet-ass Cadillac!

Right-hand-drive UK-spec Fiat 500.

The world's last running (Well, I think it still runs, anyway?) Chevrolet Chevette.

 

 

 

There's a beige one not far from here that's just had its' engine out, they've pumped the tires up and given it a wash. I think we might be in for a Chevette Resurruection.

 

It even has the appropriate red-lead primer daubed on with a paintbrush around the arches.

That Volvo is sweet. Great colour too!

[Madman Of The People]

I saw this thing pulling out of a gas station and had no idea what it was.  Turns out it's a Phantom Pharaoh, an ersatz Rolls Royce built around a Lincoln Town Car.  According to Jalopnik, it's one of only 20 made before the fibreglass moulds were destroyed.  Should have destroyed them sooner, it you ask me!

[rml2345]

That Phantom Pharaoh looks like they've tried to copy a Mitsuoka of some sort but failed miserably. It's God awful.

[spike60]

Good stuff, particularly like the Corvair. Good to see the 164, I used to have one which was probably the thirstiest car I've owned and I've had a few shockers!

[Madman Of The People]

A couple of German classics for your viewing pleasure.

 

Crusty looking E21 with MASSIVE Yankee-spec bumpers for sale.  Body looks much better in photos than it did up close.

 

.

.

.

 

 

Clean looking Beetle.

 

.

.

 

[brickwall]

Loving the beemer. looks odd with the extra added rubbery no kill ppl bumper

[cort16]

If I was BMW I'd have rather have not sold them all than let them leave the dealership looking like that.

If you removed them and fitted euro spec ones would you get your fingers wrapped?

No, nobody will care.  A few enthusiasts have retrofitted Euro-spec bumpers to their E21s and early E30s, which had similarly hideous bumperage.

[brickwall]

But what happens if you hit a pregnant women carrying a pile of puppies?

[Vin]

That UK spec Fiat 500 came from Belfast. A chap called Jim Magill took it over for Fiat Freakout 2008. They drove it from New York to San Francisco. It's now in Lane's motor museum.

 

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/29/fiat-500-makes-trek-across-america/

 

Another resident of the museum is the Panda 4x4 (E505 JPY known as Juppy) that Jim also drove across America.  He first did the America thing in a 1991 Panda 1000S and has also taken over a Fiat Multipla. All for the Fiat Freakouts.

DeLorean.

Last of the Saab 9-5 saloons.  A rare beast, indeed!

 

[vulgalour]

Shame the back end of that Datsun is all stoved in really.  This is a quality tat spotting thread with real quality tat of the interestingly interesting and puddingy McBland sorts of things that appeal to me.
