Found this on my way home tonight. It’s the third night in a row I’ve seen it at the park and ride, so I decided to stop. Sorry for the terrible photos, it was illuminated with my headlights, taken with my iPotato in the dark, in the rain.

Now that’s a hen’s tooth. I think this is 1971-72. And to top it off, outside at night in the damp with Maine plates - it didn’t survive so long by being treated that way. I hope it isn’t usually treated that way, as these things don’t like such conditions.

We’ll see if it’s there again tomorrow. It’s high salt season up here, so I’m genuinely surprised it’s out and about.

Thanks for the year(s). It’s before my time, so I wasn’t sure.

I hope it is just a fluke rather than someone being gifted an old car from a relative and blindly putting it into service. I don’t know if the “combination” plates have any significance. It’d be a shame to destroy this thing, survivors on the road might be able to be counted on no more than two hands.

Wow - I haven’t seen one of those in years. My folks actually bought one new nearly half a century ago. This was when such things were known as ‘Japanese crap’, and as I recall it was an unreliable piece of garbage, built at a time when Japanese cars weren’t known for reliability, something that changed just a couple of years later.

Then again, my folks made a number of bad car decisions back in the ‘60s and’70s, but to be completely honest that wasn’t too difficult to do. Bugeye Sprite that was in such bad condition we had to pay the dealer to take it off our hands. Plymouth Satellite that puked it’s transmission multiple times. Mustang II. Fiat 124 Sport Spyder. MGC GT. VW Dasher. Two cars I wanted them to purchase were the BMW Bavaria and an Alfa sedan of some sort. Things got better in the ‘80s, but before that you could really buy some garbage.

A 124, an MGC GT (which happens to be my dream car) and a bug eye? Your parents sound like cool people.
