1968 Chevrolet Impala wagon, Santa Barbara.
Virginia McCracken caught this one. With a few tweaks it could have been AL's 1969 Brookwood. Regret selling that car. Last seen it was in Ventura. If you spot it, let me know.

1946 GMC EC152
From Michael Moore. in the East Bay: "I got to talking to Mark the machinist about his milspec ’46 GMC for so long I didn’t get any really good pics but found out [in addition to a whole lot of other stuff] he pulled it out of the marshes near Suisun around 1979 for $25.00 and has had it since…along the way he replaced the original 216 six with a 235 as well as several transmissions due to the inherent vice [at least after sixty or eighty years] of water leaking from the windshield, down the dash and gear shift lever and into the tranny which rusts the gears. Who knew?"
AL: '48 GMC-with-a-tree in this post from eastern Alberta.
