Pony Cars

 

1968 and 1966 Mustangs. Becky Jean Smith caught the cars in LA.

1949 Dodge B1B half-ton

 

Clean machine in Dodge red-and-black,  up on the block at BaT.   Kinda reminds me of the Mercury M3 we found in Nova Scotia a while back.

1939 Ford COE

 Alex Emond saw the truck for sale at Hemmings with only 26000 miles.  "Here's a funky machine. Give it a makeover with a new chassis /engine and meld a vintage Airstream onto it , et voila. Don't paint it."

Chevrolet COE Utah

 

Becky Smith caught the beast rolling east in Utah.AL posted some more Chevrolet COE's in New Mexico a while back.

Caught a Corvette

Heading west on MA 2. Thought it was something Italian, but no.

 

Pontiac Aztek, Montclair N.J.

 

The shape of crossovers (and takeovers) to come.

from Jonathan Welsh, in Montclair NJ:

While many consider it among history's homeliest autos, Pontiac's Aztek from the 2001 to 2005 model years foreshadowed the rise of crossovers, which have taken over the family-car market. As manufacturers try to attract buyers with increasingly extreme styling, Aztek doppelgangers proliferate. How about that Lamborghini Urus? Pretty close.

Monster Trucks

 

Thanks to Matt Dallet for the heads-up on this piece in Citylab :
"To get a handle on what’s happened to pickup trucks, it really helps to use a human body for scale. In some nerdy Internet circles — specifically, bike and pedestrian advocacy — it has become trendy to take a selfie in front of the bumper of random neighborhood Silverados. Among the increasingly popular heavy-duty models, the height of the truck’s front end may reach a grown man’s shoulders or neck. When you involve children in this exercise it starts to become really disturbing. My four-year-old son, for example, barely cleared the bumper on a lifted F-250 we came across in a parking lot last summer..."
