I spotted this nearly perfect Citation outside a church in Ambridge, PA. Mass was letting out and I stuck around to see an older couple walk to the car. It's obvious to see they've taken amazing care of it and it looks like it just drove off the showroom floor!

This Pininfarina designed hatchback was manufactured in the mid nineties (1993-1997).
Some people complain that all mass produced hatchbacks look the same, and that included me at one time. Only fairly recently am I able, or possibly willing, to acknowledge the subtle development of this popular type. Up to the 1980s hatchbacks were mainly plain and box shaped with basic bolt-on bumpers, grilles and headlights. By the 2000s body styling had become much more dynamic and curvilinear in appearance, partly to improve fuel efficency. Even the headlight housings became more streamlined. Their detailing and that of front and side bumpers became integral to a more literal expression of speed and power.
The styling of this Peugeot 306 Mk.1 XLd on display at the former Speke Airport sits somewhere in between the above two phases of that design transition.
Really nice to see this another base spec hatchback from the same era as the Metro, however this is a late example. A good day for spots today, also saw a H reg BX and an L reg 205 a few roads down but could not get pics as they were on the move!
This Polo has only done 43k miles.
The last spot in China. Seemingly not very special, but relatively old for Chinese standards in Shanghai, hatchback and color made it stand out.
The first time I've seen a Honda E in the metal. And with a retail price of over £30k and a range of 137 miles, I'm not likely see another too soon.
