Well, today gave me a huge smile on my face on my drive home from town this morning! :D
I was coming past one of the local independent garages and this was parked out front. I recognized it as I passed it and actually took a side road to loop back and take this picture....couldn’t get a better shot as a tree was in the way, but...
IT’S A FRICKIN’ SKODA FELICIA!
...A SKODA!
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
I think they were imported and sold in North America in VERY small numbers way back when.
Many happys were had. It’s in great shape and has classic Euro plates on it (no Canadian plates), so no idea if it’s a recent import or a restoration...? I had actually seen this car for sale on Kijiji years ago...at least, pretty sure it’s the same car. It was the same shade of teal, though in a little worse shape, if I remember right.
Very pretty little roadster! I’d gladly have it if they didn’t want it anymore! :P
...also saw this little fella in Mahone Bay! It’s the Suzuki Carry kei truck I’ve posted a few times! :)

Sorry, I was pretty psyched to see it considering my love for quirky Eastern Bloc stuff :P
It’s actually the third time I’ve ever seen any sort of Skoda in person, weirdly! The first was back in 2008 when I was in university - the IIHF World Hockey Championships were held in Halifax, Nova Scotia (where my alma mater, Mount St. Vincent University is)...Skoda was a sponsor, so specially temporarily imported several Superbs to use as team transport/advertising as the events were televised...can’t find any pictures, but there are models of what they looked like!
The second time was this Skoda Yeti and caravan that somebody from Germany
temporarily imported here to Nova Scotia to do some travel with...
And this Felicia was the third! :D

I saw what I think was a Nash Metropolitan in that color this morning …

Also VW Vento with Mexico plates in suburban Chicago. Must be a Mex market model?
