Toyota Land Cruiser
from Greg Philipps: "Fernandina Beach. FL. Has that, 'I don't hike with walking sticks and a hydration backpack' look about it, doesn't it?"

1992 Chevrolet Impala
All I know about these cars was that the Mounties in Fort MacLeod, Alberta were excited about getting the first generation (1990) which had wheel skirts in back and looked very Robocop.
This car was in Cambridge, MA where someone likes those wheels.

1959 Dodge D100 Raton Pass
There's just something about the Raton. Maybe because I'm usually crossing it early in Spring, a season that always feels like an opening, things getting wider and more interesting.

Soggy Dodge (1953?)
Tough times in the underwater Midwest. Thanks to Stephen Hendrickson for heads-up on the photo, pic de jour on Axios AM
1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V
Saw the car in West Cambridge, Mass. Snow's gone and a rain cleaned the streets so the old metal is out there. Nice weird car, but I don't care for the flash wheels. Hemmings blog has a piece on these land yachts.

Cluny, Alberta
from Alex Emond: For a couple of years I would pass by this sign and tell myself to stop and take a picture . I finally did and shortly thereafter the sign was gone . Maybe blown away . Anyway , it was quite the piece of work and would have sold for big bucks in a NYC gallery , for sure , as a work of outsider genius . Cheers , Alex

1972 Chevrolet Impala convertible
Spotted the car in North Cambridge, MA. With the warmer, drier weather old cars and robins are showing up at last.

Update on the Border Brothers
We posted on the story here. Thanks to Capt. Tom Morris for this update from the Bangor Daily News:
The blue 1967 Buick Skylark would have been perfect for an all-American road trip.
But Damien Roy, 22, and Bailey Roy, 21, never got that far. Before the two brothers could even cross the Canadian border, drones, helicopters, police dogs and a SWAT team surrounded their car. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 26, 2018, the checkpoint between Houlton, Maine, and Woodstock, New Brunswick, remained closed amid a bizarre standoff, frustrating thousands of travelers....
Speaking to CTV News in October after his sons were arrested at the border, Roy said that he was just grateful they hadn’t been shot. Damien and Bailey had been getting into trouble since elementary school, when they had to be separated because their teacher couldn’t handle both at once, he said. Both were smart when they wanted to be, he said, and read constantly, preferring each other’s company to being around anyone else. He couldn’t explain what had motivated their bizarre behavior, and added that he wished that he had spent more time monitoring what they were looking at on the internet.

1968 Plymouth Fury
The car looked furious at the indignity of being ass-backwards on a flatdeck. Tight fit. Off to a better future, we hope. Caught it in Colorado Springs.
