Back, oh, maybe 30 some odd years ago, a couple of little old ladies with white gloves in a Mustang II broke down on a bridge coming out of a town east of me.
Me and one other stopped to help....and we realized the interior probably used to be blue, but everything inside, carpets, headliner, door panels, seats, console, shifter, steering wheel, dashboard, half the gauge faces, sun visors....were brush painted with flat white house paint.
Amazing.

Driving along Rt 6 in Windham Connecticut this morning. A late 1950s Saab 93. Needed some TLC - but still running.

Something like this:


By the way, the "automatic transmission" referred to was the SaxoMat (automatic clutch). Actually a clever device when the engine didn't have enough power for a true automatic.

Possibly the rarest is the Pinto.
 
That Pinto is rare,...but that 356 in that body style is pretty rare
Anybody notice what is in front of the Porsche

Saw a K car a few weeks ago, made me do a double-take.

I had one with a bench seat and a floor shifted four speed. (K) I saw a really nice X-11 for sale and I actually thought about it. I don't know why I did, but it did. It's kinda like a 47 pound cow pie, you certainly don't see one everyday and can appreciate it's rarity...but would you really want to own it?
 
Volare Coupe - possibly an R/T - had lots of stripes!
