For me, it would be a Eunos Cosmo. I saw one of these at a local cars show when I lived in Alabama about 6-7 years ago. It was in a town with less than 5k people, in a show with under 1000 cars, almost all of which were muscle cars.

What cars have you seen where you least expect it? This car show is in the summer by the way, just to change the subject of winter.

Years ago I saw a group of Nissan Patrols (IIRC) with Chinese plates and some Chinese TV company logos in Finland.

I saw a older 70 Series Land cruiser is a more upscale neighbourhood.

Raptor in London. Sadly I never got a pic, but it was overflowing its parking space like an American overflows their mobility scooter.

Cortina Mk2 in rural California. The owner had two or three of them at one point. Can’t find the picture at the moment but here’s a running one:

They were never sold in the States or Canada.

They weren’t sold here and it wasn’t in pristine condition. I think someone used it as a work truck/ vehicle.

Oh, that makes more sense. Because otherwise the thing with rich people and Land Cruisers, right?

Cortina ( I think) in the middle of Brooklyn

That reminds me of the time I saw a Panoz roadster in a grocery store parking lot. I guess people with wacky roadsters still need food and tools...

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies 01/23/2016 at 21:20

All these in Nebraska.

Isn’t there a crap ton of money in Omaha though?

Yeah but flaunting it is (or was) frowned upon. Plus most people still think corn fields. But yeah for those in the know it’s not that surprising.

Ford GT parked outside in a snowstorm.

A few come to mind:

-A R32 Skyline sedan in a not - so - great part of a small North Carolina town a year or two before they were legal to import.

-A Mercedes L319 bus, also in NC.

-A mint, and I mean mint, AE86 Corolla in a Disney hotel parking lot.

-A Citroen 2cv on a country NC backroad.

-Riding shotgun into a swimming pool parking lot, where there is usually nothing, and the lot is usually empty. I look up, and, on the last row, in the back, is a gorgeous, burgundy, early frogeye Citroen DS. It was absolutely stunning.

-The entire Lane Motor Museum is a little unexpected. When you think of cars you might see in Nashville, a Matra Simca Bahgerra isn’t what comes to mind.

I’ve seen an A31 Cefiro here in Salt Lake City... Oh, and an Impul-tuned R32 GTS-T Sedan!
