1963 Valiant. Manchester, New Hampshire.

 
It was April, but Spring had not yet arrived in New Hampshire when Reid Cunningham shot these photos a few weeks ago. "This morning I awoke to snow and it is still snowing.  Walking back from the monthly prayer vigil I attend at the ICE offices in Manchester, I was surprised by this 63 Valiant (my best guess at the year).  Clearly unrestored, rust showing through in spots, I am guessing the slant six under the hood is probably good for a couple more decades with a bit of TLC.  A moment of relief as we all await what ever horror will be unleashed in the Middle East later today.  My apologies for the political comments, but I find the need to speak the truth. (By the way, I led the February prayer vigil and will be leading more in the future.)"
AL: And here's a 1965 Valiant we caught in Portland, Maine a while back. More links in that post.

1979 Datsun B-210 Wagon. Freeport, Maine.

 

Cold clear April in Maine. No leaves yet, so lots of light. The owner has done some mild customizing but the Datsun is mostly original. It's a summer car, so just out of the barn. Factory engine and 5-speed. We posted a 1979 Datsun 510 wagon a while back.

Renault 6tl, Tuscany.

Basha Burwell caught the car in Pietrasanta, and saw another 6TL one there two years ago.
