1966 Morgan +4

The owner said the reason this car was found in this particular spot is because this is where it dropped the clutch, and also where it was awaiting a flatbed lift to a specialist.

Ahh that rounded nose/grille leading into the classic hood (or should I say "bonnet") flanked by the dramatic fenders, which lead all the way back to the similar back fenders That remarkable real wood dash & steering wheel. The sticker on the windshield. A design unchanged and still in production today.

1972 BMW 2002

Many -- including me -- thought this a dumpy little car when it was new. Hey, where's the fastback? the big engine? the swoopy design?  Of course we all know how that worked out.

Love the three segment circular tailights, hood and trunk shutlines that merge with the chrome strip, simple and purposeful controls, classic grille & headlights, the over all "box leaning forward" shape. Features which were basically unchanged for more than a decade.

The badge on the grille says "Automóvil Club Argentino".

1971 Datsun 510 Wagon

Had a chat with the owner, who is a part of a local club dedicated to the 510. Wheels are from a newer Nissan, which certainly give it an aggressive look. He also did a lot of repair/replacement to the suspension. Is particularly proud that this car has a rare original tachometer.

Love the slightly arched chrome over the headlights, giving it that slightly angry look, the simple chrome doors handles, the way the outside mirror hooks back in the profile shot, the little chrome strip below the doors, the flat glass everywhere except the windshield.

1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Nice work done on this car to make it look so great. Sure, a little missing trim, but in excellent shape for an ancient but formerly very common car. There doesn't seem to be a dent in it.

This is not my favourite year for the Monte Carlo -- I think the first generation was the best (especially with fender skirts).

Still, it has those (totally useless but) dramatically sculpted fenders, that steeply raked windshield and formal roofline. The wheels are not original, but they have the correct feel. The ridges on either side of the hood leading to the turn signal enclosures, embracing the enormous looking headlights. The designers did an excellent job working within the limits of the then new laws about 5 mph bumpers etc. Only the taillights and trunk shutline between them let me down.

1964 International Harvester Travelall

Another rare beauty from the 60s. Yes, yes I know it looks somehow poorly manufactured, with uneven shut lines that were there from the start, and an un-stylish design that could not compete with the likes of the bigger auto makers.

But this was/is pure honest functionality. with only a few nods to style, and even those being outdated at the time. Interesting features: gas cap just behind the passenger side front wheel, ultra basic dash and controls, deeply curved windshield in contrast to every other pane being entirely flat, "clapping" wipers, and "barn door" style rear doors. And that long rear overhang, in such contrast to the front.

I've seen the owner out and about in this car, it is definitely fully operational.
