Coincidental proximity of two Neons the factory painted the same color, and then owners gave them different looks



It may be more than coincidence that they were a vehicle apart in a parking lot, but I have no info on that.

An AH HA! moment. I did correctly identify a neglected 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider that I found while out and about


this last one is from the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours

Seen while out and about

Best on top, a tri 5 trifecta, a convertable, a Nomad, a hardtop... all neglected in the same yard


Yup, a damn big Unit

Olds? Buick?
Looks like a convertable Alfa from the late 50's early 60's? These Italian sports cars are not my area of expertise

Bello is well represented by his truck on the street calling attention to his 3 in the driveway


Looks better in person, when the top is down, and the 4 speed is shifting around 4ooo rpm. Sounds great, but what will just floor you? Looks the divorcing wife is going to make it go away for her half of its value





Check out the utility boxes on the back! This was a shop truck, or construction, or something similar... way cool if someone gave it a second life.

He's enthusiastic about driving it to work, wouldn't you too?






Found while out and about in Pt Loma, taken with the camera phone so the quality isn't as good as usual

Sad that the GTO is looking real bad, worse that the hood is resting on a beer bottle.


One of the best pinstripe jobs I've seen

63 Split window
Looks similar to the Corvair, so I'm guessing that GM stylists borrowed from this look a little bit

230 SL, nice little sports car is my take.

When karma works in my favor, I find all sorts of cool neglected stuff!



Take a look at the bricks and blocks holding the truck up... they are leaning over badly. Not good.



1956 Studebaker Sky Hawk
1969 Mustang Mach 1










It might be funny to say that the truck was speeding so fast they bent the needle when it hit the peg, but it sure is a striking photo that seems to infer time passing since the last time this truck was a daily worker earning it's way in the world.
"Lead Dray Transfer 50" I don't know what that is about more than the actual definition of the words. However, the woman who brought the truck West from it's origin of the South Dakota Black Hills told me that it used to belong to the guy who delivered coal to her, and when she was married, the guy and his wife stood at her wedding. I infer that the newlyweds bought the coal truck sometime after the wedding, and used it to move their household goods to their new home in California
That milk crate was left in place after it's last use as a makeshift seat.. funny, but I've heard of several people using a milk crate that way.
