1965 Cadillac convertible

Saw it up at Fresh Pond, Cambridge. We've posted a '64 Cadillac convertible, same color, also from Cambridge last year.

 

Acura TSX Wagon

Never owned a car that wasn't a wagon. Detroit doesn't seem interested in stationwagons anymore. Wagons are sleeker and less hulking than SUVS. Eurowagons have always been a popular body style, Over There. In Maine, the Subaru Outback wagon is ubiquitous though it's getting lumpier and more SUV- like in every edition. Hadn't know much about this Acura, and they didn't sell many, and stopped selling them in 2014. 

 

1966 Thunderbird

 

1966 was a good year from Dearborn and in our opinion hatched one of the best of the 'Birds. AL caught this car at Motorland in Arundel, Maine. Here's a 1963 Thunderbird from the Bay Area. And Chip Lord with the exalted 1962 Thunderbird.

Citroën Traction-avant

 

These were made from 1934 to 1957. Maybe not during WWII. The classic French New Wave gangsta car. "Traction-avant"--traction forward, i.e. front-wheel drive. Keeping a low profile, too. In the Netherlands we lived down the road from a garage that specialized in these cars. This car was at Motorland in Arundel, Maine. We saw a 1954 traction-avant there a while ago.
