    This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Key West, Florida, gave us the excellent Trusty Justy, and now has photographed a pair of VW Transporter competitors that still work for a living. Jump away to see all the photos and read his description.

    Hey man,

    Down in Key West I found two classic, American forward-control vans still rolling daily and parked on the street. You can find the photos attached.It's a GMC Handivan and a Corvair Greenbrier, two classic examples of America combating the Volkwagen Type 2. I saw the Greenbrier cruise past me the next day, driven by a woman no less. Cool!

    P.S: I also included a pic of the very...interesting...Key West Bible Class official van, which is very, very professional.

    Maybe it didn't make financial sense for GM to have each division design its own engines- a policy that continued into, and sometimes beyond, the Malaise Era- but the results were some excellent pushrod V8s! Say what you will about Detroit's primitive suspensions and iffy build quality during the... More »
