Marfa, Texas. Ran when parked? This truck looks like it's been parked there for quite a while, but also as if it could readily be revived as a daily driver.
I went to a local car show and spotted this beauty in the parking lot. This is what I like to see, non perfect, classics being driven and enjoyed.
This is a 1962 Land Rover Series IIA 88” 2-Door, 3-Passenger 4X4 Short Wheelbase Pickup, featuring an inline-4-cylinder Diesel engine. The paint colour scheme – if original, looks to be a corroded/faded state of “Trident Green”. Period stickers and an original metal AA badge can still be seen on the front. The vehicle’s registration – “282 DLT” is on a pre-’63 six-character black plate, and is originally a London area registration, dating to January 1962.
This vehicle is owned by the neighbour of a friend of mine; this neighbour is a retired HGV driver, now farmer/mechanic who owns several classic and interesting commercial vehicles, many of which he still uses daily – including this Land Rover – I frequently see this example out-and-about on the roads, still faithfully working hard, earning its keep at nearly 60 years old!
This picture was taken up in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K., on the 12th of November 2021. A nice late-Autumn shot.
Spotted in the general parking lot of the condominium block we were staying in, during our recent visit to Palm Springs, California. Despite being a sought-after classic muscle car from the 1960's it appears to be a 'daily driver' i.e. "A personally owned automobile driven on a frequent basis for standard and mundane tasks" [Wictionary] .
The Pontiac GTO is a front-engine rear-drive 2-door mid-size car beginning with the 1964 model year, arguably the trend-setting "muscle cars" so popular in North America in the '60's and 70's. The concept was to fit a regular production car (Pontiac Tempest/LeMans) with a bigger engine (389 ci) offering improved handling and performance, although braking was dubious.
Each model year typically had improvements, and this one seems to be a 1965 model.
A retired neighbour of mine is an avid car enthusiast, who also loves to detail cars. Imagine my delight when he agreed to detail my car, from bumper to bumper, inside and out - including the engine bay.
An old Plymouth. I won't pretend to know the year or model, but I do know it was nicely restored and appeared to be in semi-daily use an a family with kids and dogs drove up, flooded out and started for the Embarcadero. Morro Bay, ca.
Just relaxing at Starbucks and this beauty pulls in...
(they just keep putting them out there for me!)
