Where It All Started (and where it's going?)

The Ford Model T, the Tesla Model X. Both in Brooklin, Maine. Most of the gull wings you see around here belong to birds dropping mussel shells on your head.)

Carcassonne Car

 Sam Harper caught the car in Carcassonne. Any idea what it is? I though Panhard, peut-etre, but it's really not weird enough.

Matt Dallet, esq. caught the car in Newburyport, Mass.

Plus de Poncho

from Alex Emond, in Banff. "Pierre , Ici nous avons une auto très elegant et groovy , n'est ce pas? Love the fact it hasn't been messed with...almost like somebody just drove it out of his grandmother's garage after she lost her license, or died. Leave alone ,'cause you can't improve on it. Quite a long machine. Love it . Cheers , Alex" p.s. It's a Banff car.
Autoliterate has posted a '63 Pontiac Bonneville from Blue Hill, Maine.
Another in Sedgwick, Maine.
A '63 Catalina and '64 Bonneville from Marfa, Texas. 

And how about this '62 Pontiac Catalina for sale at Owl's Head, Mane a while back?
