Northeast old cars

There are a lot of very old clean cars here. I have seen some really nice 123s. I noticed a 300d for sale with like 50K miles on it for sale for $7K I believe.

I have seen a lot of old American cars too. I saw a ford falcon station wagon yesterday. A 64 Valient. A whole lot of old Air cooled vws.....I must have seen a dozen or more air cooled transporters with fresh looking paint. I also saw yesterday a transporter pickup. Cool!

As a matter of fact I am parked in a really sweet looking Sab 96 station wagon with those funky looking tailfins! Baby blue and white.

Too cool!

Of course a whole butt load of old american pickumuptrucks.

I'm sure you meant Northwest. One advantage they have is no salt used on most of the roads, so less corrosion. Are you enjoying having gas station attendants pumping your gas?

Yes, northwest!

I have been having a problem lately confusing east and west. It is very tricky to get anywhere without getting lost.

I'm ok if I really focus on it but if casual about it can get it wrong too often.

This Saab is really a treat.

I wish I had brought my download cord so I could post pics daily.
