Very cool, but maybe splash some paint on that front bumper? I like the pumpkin orange, you don't see that anywhere.

This is pretty interesting.....a 59 Caddy Camino......
Quite a few Caddys were built for flower cars for funerals. it would be interesting to own one and use it as a truck.



.....or put a hot tub in the back with some bikini girls.

Hard to see in this pic, but the original paint (Yuma Yellow, aka School Bus Yellow) is fairly weathered. The bumper fits the overall look.

My favorite in this topic. Throw the wipers back on & I'd daily drive that.

I learned to drive on a '65 GMC. My father also had a '64 Chevy that was his DD. I'd still like to find one with the big back window.

I saw one similar to that in Macon last Friday night at the parking garage meet. It sounded like it was running a diesel. There was also a REO Speedwagon there that was awesome too. I forgot my camera, so no pics of some of the cool stuff. I will try and do better next time.

I really like the "utes" that were made here and sent to Austrailia over the years. Too bad they didn't market them on this side of the world....pretty cool vehicles in my mind....

Most of these are Holdens......aka Chevrolet of Australia....
They've been available since the 30s down unda....




...and a Ford

Or a rancher's Bentley.

....38 Auzzie Ford

...and Dodge's as well...
