    What are the odds of this? And really, those body panels look amazingly intact. Even the damn trim pieces and logos. The Falcon logo is especially nice because it was actually cooler and faster looking than the actual car itself.

    I wonder whether this will be recycled into a Prius or an Escalade?

    Agh, it doesn't bare thinking about...I just hope it gets turned into Coke cans or something else completely unrelated.

    Neither. It'll become a Geely.

    Actually, based on the amount of metal in this vs. a Geely, it will likely become half-a-dozen Geelys.

    Yeah, this is into Even A Left-Wing Greenie Can Tell It's A Classic territory. Come on, this is ridiculous.

    Pull the tailgate and Sawzall the C-pillars and the front of the bed. Section both sides as needed. Ridgelinise your Civic. El coche mas fina!

    @FromaBuick6:

    Or at least put them on craigslist in the Northeast where it is utterly inconceivable to find a classic this rust-free in a junkyard. So unfair.

    @Muscles Marinara: The state of California could probably make more money shipping these cars to the Rust Belt than they do sending 'em to junkyards.

    Depending on your point of view, these are either an homage or a rip off of Robert Bechtle's realist oil paintings. Minus any soul.

    AFAIC, Murilee does just as well, with more interesting sujects.

    @flyingstitch: Agreed. Starting around this year (73 or so) Chevy just didn't seem to know what to do with the Nova--they tarted it up quite a bit, which really didn't suit it, and then by 75 turned it into a generic looking sedan. But don't tell Beercheck I said that. 75 was still recognizable as a Nova but it was fading fast.

    Great shots. What is that gold drop top, a 71 Torino or thereabouts? Very rare. The stealth Buick Deuce-and-a-quarter is well done indeed as is, of course, the Nova.

    It looks like I can do that easily with my iPhone.

    @Theimbellis: If you've got an eye for composition, framing, color and catching the narrative of a scene, then I agree, using an iPhone is no impediment, and the technical limitations of the format you're using (ex: Lomography) can be part of the work's charm.

    So if you have these things, start shooting cars and I'm sure Murilee will be happy to run your pics.

    :p

    Man, I was right about the color and wagonish origin today. What a great trucklet.


    We gonna have DOTSBE instead? I'm sure there's a backlog of those, merely from what little I've sent in...!

    Wait, Murilee said it was a DOTS vacation, and yet there are no additional Murilee posts today.

    Surely not...

    Other than maybe lowering it an inch in front and in back, I wouldn't change a single thing about this vehicle.


    Enjoy the vacation, M-Squared! Hopefully some of my DOTSBE photos will be close to the front of the line when you start up again.

    Rancheros are great. Though I prefer the early '60s version, which we use as our LeMons tow car....
