Down on the Street

It's come to mind a couple times while I ride to work that I should bring a camera with me to take pictures of the eclectic cars that are along Alameda de las Pulgas. Today I realized I could have my own version of the Jalop's "Down on the Street" with the number of obscure classic (read: early malaise) cars I bike past. To start, though, I'll just try to do a brief summary until I get more info and pictures.

Datsun 510 Wagon
This baby's lowered, front duckbill spoiler, and in really good shape. 510s are rare enough, but a wagon? Tasty.

Opel 1900 Wagon
I think my parents used to have an Opel before I was born. Certainly don't see too many of them except Astras. Oh wait, that's a "Saturn."

Some small MG under a cover
I'll need to research more as to which random assembly of letters follow MG on this one, but it looks smaller and older than an MGB. Project car hell indeed.

Yugo GV
This thing is CLEAN. Like the Opel, just not a marque you see around very often. The first time I rode past it my brain signaled "Rabbit" but there are subtle differences. It's in incredible shape, nice white paint with lines, clean wheels. Looks taller than a Rabbit. Who do you get to work on a Yugo these days?

Then, approaching work in SF:
Chevy Nomad
White with green front/lines into the doors. Reminds me of the old one my Uncle Pat, Chevyphile extraordinaire, had, except his was all black and silver for the Raiders (natch). I should do a post all on his cars. They are worthy. I'm still trying to convince him to donate his '56 Bel Air "Fire Chief" sedan to me.
