c. 1967 Triumph Spitfire. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond: " I was rolling around town on my bike and saw this little English sports car parked at Martin's Stables here in Banff. Glorious summer evening. Not a common sighting. Beautiful as it is, I don't think many of them are still around a half century later . Looks like a fun car to drive on a summer day .

AL: we caught a Spitfire in Blue Hill, Maine a while back. wWe've posted a bunch of different  TRs.

Saskatchewan trucks: 1966 Ford Bronco & etc.

 

From Alex Emond: "Here's an "all sorts" mix of trucks . Some, like the '66 Bronco, and that big rig, have been pampered. Others are just well-looked-after, original-paint, everyday survivors...

...and as an ornithological bonus, a turkey vulture warming itself in the early morning sun atop the cross on a convent in Ponteix Saskatchewan . If Black Sabbath ever puts out another album this would make a good cover.." 

c. 1990 Dodge Dakota wheelbarrow. Washington D.C.

 

From Matthew Sherry. From the days when Detroit (Warren, Michigan actually) built useful trucks, instead of braggadocio faux-macho monster toys.

These days the Ram Dakota is built in Brazil, and marketed only in South America. Big trucks are killing people, a New York Times investigation reported a couple weeks ago, The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks.

Meanwhile, hang in there, the Slate truck--the ultimate wheelbarrow...is coming...

The Johnston Canyon Ford 1967 Ford F-100.

 

From Alex Emond: Here's how I spent part of yesterday afternoon . Crazy to think that this truck was pretty new when I first saw it in 1968. It's great that it is still there. Cheers.

AL: We have posted before on the Johnston Canyon F-100, and on some other automotive critters up the Canyon, which is in Banff, Alberta. Oh, and by the way, your neighbo(u)r Canada has changed.

Volkswagen Passat TDi c. 1995

                                

From Matthew Sheehey, in Northern Virginia: Here's a sweet VW Passat wagon with a stick shift in a garage near thePentagon. I drove a Fox wagon and a few Jettas when I was young, but I always wanted to move up to one of these. I still like the look of them, especially as their numbers dwindle. I've enjoyed your recent photos from Maine and Colorado Springs. Thank you! 

AL: We have posted a Polizei Passat from Baden-Württemburg, Germany.
