I saw this driving through Claresholm on my way to Calgary on the weekend, but missed getting a picture of it. I found it on Streetview parked the other direction in the same spot. All the feels for this old Swede. Ghia.

Corrected, it looked like an early 60's Volvo from the front as I quickly drove by. From this view its a Ghia for sure though.

You may have just started the affordable car version of "I think it's a Lambo, dude"

I know. It is a nice change of pace from the typical whites, blacks, and beiges most vehicles primarily seen in.

2nd and 3rd most abundant colors seem to be Victory Red and Summit White, respectively.

Agree, and dealers sell Summit White like it is special feature!

I know.

I mean, attention dealers, just because Summit White is white, doesn't make it as special as White Diamond Tricoat.

I like White Diamond Tricoat. Saw an Equinox on a lot in that color this weekend, and I liked it, although I'd prefer Silver Topaz Metallic.
