Here is a sample of the stuff I see everyday on route
here lol
amazing!
Interesting; fastback, your reply to that Checker posted by Michael is exactly to the day one year later. Coincidence?
Spotted this base model “Oldsmobile sucking on a Lemon” on the way home from my golf club.
Of course there are many similarities between the futility of my golf and the poor sales of the Edsel. (’58 Ranger 4dr)
lol
I saw this on the link with all the rusting piles of junk,. I don’t know what kind of car this is. Maybe some kind of Mopar?
The trunk badge and general shape of the back end look like a 1962 full-sized Plymouth, but the tail lights don’t look like any I’ve ever seen. Maybe a Canadian-market Plymouth or Dodge?
I have several pictures of this perfectly rusted 1950 Chevy that lives up the street from me. If you’d like feature them, or just see them, let me know. Also let me know what size in pixels you’d like them. Here is a sample:
You can post them to our CC Cohort Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1648121@N23/pool/ or if you’d like to write something about this truck, send the text and pictures (800 pixels max. width) to me at the contact form above. PN
Hi Paul,
I don’t know a lot about the truck or owner, but it lives just up the block from me. It is gone a lot so I know it is a daily driver. I rarely see anything so perfectly rusted without being rusted through (and is that lichen, mold, some kind of deep sea encrustation?) .
I know several guys who would like to achieve this effect on their rat-rods but I guess it’s difficult or expensive to do. I’m not a paint and body guy so I don’t know.
Anyway, since it kind of unique (and I love the business name) I wanted to share it with you and the gang.

PS Do you have an email where I can send more than one photo at a time? I don’t want post seven times here in the contact form … unless that’s ok with you.
On the CC Flickr page; I gave you the link above. It’s also on our menu bar. That’s the place to post found CCs, not here. Nobody except me will see it here.
What a tremendous pain in the ass to try to share a few photos. So many steps … I did it anyway.
Feng
Sorry. I didn’t mean to complain, I’m just having a rough day health-wise and every little thing is an effort and puts me in a foul mood. I do apologize. I added 7 photos of the 1950 rustbucket to the CC pool. It will be much easier next time as all the google, to yahoo, to flicker, to posting, to sharing account setting up is done.
Found a 34 Terraplane today its up on the cohort page
Optional Wheels
Shot an Aussie Falcon for ya Paul and a nice driveway collection you might like Im now Bryce 1980 my account evaporated from flikka keep up the great work.
The Targa Tour road rally of NZ finished in Hawkes bay today Ive shot some cars for the cohort page sorry about the lack of new Lamborghinis and Ferraris I dont have enough camera memory and I had to delete the modern stuff to fit the little Fiat Abarth and a nice Dodge Monaco parked outside
Another good day for the cohort page ,found 2 HQ Kingswoodwagons and a tidy MGA. Wikipedia has asked for access to those Camira pics I uploaded ,we are being monitored, did you know?
Hallo!
Maybe someone knows, what’s the model of the car I added here?
It’s supposed to be some coupe from the mid- late 70s, thanx
Looks like a 1976 Chevy Impala to me!
Definitely a 1976 LeSabre Buick.
From the brochure …

Howdy, i love old cars and i love your blog! Hey, i heard Charles De Lint playing music in Seattle the other night, and really liked this song about his old, family truck… thought you might like it too! http://www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/music-oldbluetruck01.htm
Thanks, I added a link to it in my Ford truck post!
Put some shots from the art deco weekend up. Its hard to get good shots amongst the people.
Oops… I tried submitting this at the top by accident..
I’m not sure if I like this or not, I’m leaning toward like.

Im going to Paraparaumu again this weekend for their open day free entry to people who turn up in a classic car so Im hoping for a well stocked carpark for the Cohort
Got some photos for the cohort Paul from Southwards open day first time Ive seen a Cord in pieces or heard a supercharged Mercedes revved out or for that matter a 1896 Benz running and revved up my tired little Briggs and Statton sounds smooth compared and less smoke but talking with the guy who gets to play with the collection and drive them all worth the trip alone. Hope yall enjoy my photographic efforts.
Shot some cars again today told the owners if they were there where to find the photos most seemed quite interested in the site Paul so you may see more hits from NZ Met the owners of the yellow Cresta they were very happy to know about CC and asked if you allow comments
The owner of the XL Falcon is going to visit the site and there should be a couple of cars there to intrigue you I hope and get you thinking Paul.
Since y’all ripped on the ’67 Thunderbird, why don’t you take a poke at my other classic car! My ’75 Pontiac Grand Am! Let’s see what JP can conjure up here! I am sure you will diss this one every bit as much as my other car! At least I can say I DON”T own “Belly Button Cars” ie. a Camara, A Chevelle, a Mustang a Corvette ad nauseum! Go for it my friend and I will see you in the reply section!
Well, John, if I come across one I would be delighted to write something on it. When I was in high school, my mother owned a 74 Luxury LeMans sedan. I have always considered it the best looking of all of the colonade sedans. Although the Pontiac 350 with the 2 barrel carb was better at sucking gas than it was at motivating the car, the car was actually a very good handling package. Don’t ask me how I know.
The great thing about CC is that all of the authors and contributors here call them how they see them. Any given car will hit different people different ways. A car that gives one guy nostalgic warm fuzzies will get another guy’s dander up. It looks like you have a really nice Pontiac there. Maybe you could even submit a “My Curbside Classic” for the rest of us to enjoy. Anyhow, we are glad to hear from you.
