    Bonus points on the I-Mark to anyone who knows where the fuel filler door is. Hint: Take a good look at the last green coupe picture I posted. The Sedan has it in the same place.

    That I-Mark is awesome. I have some kind of an affinity for Isuzu passenger cars, mostly because there are so few of them, and because the Stylus was so damned '80s-tastic.

    I have never seen an I-Mark. Hell, there's only one Mazda pickup of that vintage anywhere around here - it never seems to move from its roadside perch, but it looks to be in good shape.

    Always liked the mazda Pickups, for some odd reason, even though they didn't have the rotary.

    Ah, the I-Mark - the Chevette's unglamorous overseas cousin. Been quite a while since I've seen one of these. Did the I-Mark use the same engine as the dreaded diesel Chevette?


    I didn't even know that Mazda sold diesel pickups. Now here's a challenge - HUGE bonus points if anyone a can turn up a mid-'70s DOTS Mazda Rotary Pickup.

    Had I been sporting my digicam, I could have bagged us Jalops some DOTS:BE Checker Marathon lovin' today en route to my cardiologist appointment. On Saticoy St. in Canoga Park, CA (west end of the San Fernando Valley just north of metro L.A. but still within the L.A. city limits).


    Aftermarket faded gold paintjob, but otherwise looking sound. Parked in front of a charming retirement/convalescent home. I saw it as I drove past (westbound), but did not take the time to stop and investigate.

    @voodoojoo: Wow, the one I spied today wasn't in any kind of taxi livery getup. As a SoCal dweller, cabs around here are all Crown Vics or (older) Caprices, although Mopar minivans are increasingly popular.


    Around my doctor's medical plaza, I see increasing numbers of Sprinters rigged up as high-roof shuttle buses, complete with wheelchair lifts, to transport the elderly and infirm to their appointments (possessing two sound legs myself, I always park in remote corners of the lots, leaving the close-in spots to those who need them but may not qualify for special parking placards).

    Gotta love the chop saw in the back of the Olds. Methinks wagons then could take more abuse, relative to their intended purpose, than most trucks can today. Hell of a lot better looking, too. Actually, let's just give up and double-park these three in the JFG, Buick hubcaps and all.


    Anyone know what that is parked across the street from the Olds, by the way? It's DOTS-eligible and looks oddly familiar.


    Looking forward to Downsized Wagon day. I've got a Fairmont in queue.
