Sweeeeet!

There are TWO of those in Fox Lake, IL. One I see in a garage a few times a week in the summer. The other I’ve seen on the road, also a few times a summer.

I know they’re not the same car because two years ago I saw them just a few minutes apart.

I don’t think I’d want to own one, and be perpetually battling rust, but I’m happy others  are up for the challenge!

Honestly I didn’t know what it was at first. I had to look it up. This was probably the only one I have ever seen.

I know a guy in Canada who has had one for decades and swears one day he’ll restore.

This one looked to be in very good condition.

I sent these photos to my dad and he freaked out. I guess this is a car the old man loves. He couldn’t believe I saw one just out driving around.

Ive actually ridden in one of these!

Late 80s high school rich kid  My Chevelle at the time would kill it but very nice cruiser .

Have you? That’s rad!

It sure does look cool.

I love car spotting.

Haven't seen one in person in decades.  Nice find!

I don’t think I’ve seen one of these since I was a freshman in college in 1979.  I was looking at apartments and there was one outside one that we ultimately didn’t choose.  I didn’t (and still don’t) know much about them, but it had a Trans Am style shaker hood and similar automatic shifter.

If that’s the one with the primered shaker, I’ve seen it a lot. Usually parked outside the Wired Right car stereo shop in Fairview. Always liked the Can Am, disco stripes  rule.

I didn’t get a look at the shaker or front end. These pics were taken in Lebanon.

My Grandfather has a soft spot for these old things.  Whilst it’s not my thing (Elise, MR2, various Italians owner), it makes me happy to see one in the wild.  :)
