Brooklyn Car Spotting

After inhaling several of those boozy Arnold Palmer slushes that you all seemed to appreciate, the lady and I took a walk through Williamsburg, which is a surprisingly good place for car spotting. Starting with this 560SL!

You gotta love the most powerful version of any car, let alone the timeless R107 (second only to the follow-up R129 in the pantheon of MB roadsters in my book).

I can't decide whether I like or dislike these wheels. They're a little stancey, but the gold helps a lot. So I edited to photo to make it harder to figure out.

It's always nice to see a car on the street that was manufactured almost 60 years ago, even if it is a plastidipped Belvedere.

I think we can all agree that the E-Body stopped being cool when it switched to FWD in 79; however, I do have a soft spot for well-preserved examples of sixth generation Rivieras. Idk, it just makes me want to go rob a bank and lose one of those wheel covers in the ensuing chase.

Wicked downforce, bro.

Remember kids, always peek through fences plastered with PRIVATE PROPERTY signs! You never know what's back there. I'm not responsible if you get shot though.

First-gen Crown Vics (yes I know it was a Farlaine variant in the 50s but that doesn't count) are getting rarer and rarer, and it's even less common to see them still sporting the dog dish hubcaps. So, bravo, fellow Panther enthusiast. Bravo.
