Nomad Wagon, Safari Wagon. Bushwick, Brooklyn.

When I first saw these photos on Scouting New York I thought they were of that legendary lost car-pound. You know--the lot somewhere in the outer-outer boroughs, where trangressive cars are hauled and impounded after bad parking choices are made. The car-pound that's never been found; the pound lost in time and Brooklyn. 
          But what this really is a someone's collection of pretty good cars, stored on Myrtle Avenue, in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It's not Jay Leno's garage, but some of the machines are far more appealing than standard-issue collector auto-baubles. The owner seems to have a trope for station wagons: I see a '55 Chevrolet Nomad and a 1955 Pontiac Safari, and what look to me like two or three 1954 Pontiac or Chevrolet wagons. Also, a 1957 Ford, and a Checker sedan from the early 1970s. I am definitely making the trip to Bushwick next time in NYC and will report when I'm on location. Thank you, Scouting New York.
