    Welcome To Alameda: 63-Year-Old Jeep Used As Grocery Getter

    Some of the Down On The Street cars never move (the '82 280ZX is a good example), while others are photographed during a brief moment caught outside of the garage (such as was the case with the 1939 Chevrolet). But most of them drive regularly, and what better way to prove my point than this blurry cellphone-camera shot of the 1945 Ford GPW Jeep parked in front of the island's Trader Joe's store? And if you look really, really hard, you can just barely make out the snout of a silver Peugeot 505 in the background.
