Mitsubishi Delica 2800. Cambridge, Massachusetts.

RWD+ 4wd Japanese import. We saw another--or maybe the same one-- in Cambridge a while back. There are a lot of these rugged little imports in Western Canada..here's one in Banff, Alberta, and others in Vancouver.

Volkswagen SUVs and station wagons.

 

By the mid-90s, the VW bus was just another 'minivans', and no longer the unique creature it had been in the 1960s and 1970s, when ads in Life magazine were selling the VW Type 2 of the era as a 'station wagon'.  We caught a mid-60's VW bus in Colorado Springs a while back.

Volvo 940 wagon & Anne Carson. Stockholm.

Five days in Stockholm, Volvos everywhere, and only caught one of these.  It was nice to see an old friend the day we arrived in Stockholm... Anne Carson won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

..and kept turning up everywhere.

Rolls Royce Cullinan & Rolls Royce Ghost. Stockholm.


They are priced so that only difficult people, or more likely, their corporations, can own them. Kinda ordinary-looking, too. The Cullinan is an SUV! named after the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered in-where else-South Africa.

Citroën Type H. Stockholm.

 
Spotted selling baked goods in Stockholm: This looks like an update on the Citroën HY vans that were produced in France and Belgium from the late forties until  1981. But it's an electric update, according to Regit. cars
"The legendary Citroën Type H van is back, but not quite how you remember it. Thanks to a collaboration between UK-based Citroën 2CV experts, The 2CV Shop, and Italian design firm Caselani, the retro icon has been reborn for modern roads.
"Built on the bones of a Citroën Relay, the new Type H keeps the vintage, corrugated look of the original while adding today’s tech and usability. It is a van that turns heads without sacrificing everyday practicality."
