Cars
Yesterday., George sent me a pic of a beautifully restored '62 Impala. It was $229,900. A little steep for me.
But it got me thinkin' about cars.
Back in the day, Debbie and I took a cross country trip (DC to Grand Canyon and back) in this guy.
What is it?
Time to go fishin' again!

Re: Cars
Old?
So many cars looked the same. It would help if you gave the year you traveled. It looks like a Toyota to me, but could be wrong.
Always wishin' I was fishin'

Re: Cars
We took the trip in '76...and car not made in Japan (or any of their neighbors).
And it's not a Lada (Russian cars in Cuba).

Re: Cars
Looks like a car with a ticket on the windshield
My guess would be some French POS - Renault, Peugeot
Although to give the French credit, they did design the bullet proof inline 6 that was the star for old Jeeps

Re: Cars
It's a Fiat 131 which replaced my 124 which was made famous by Rémy Julienne who was a famous French stunt driver.

Re: Cars
I once owned a Simca that I got for 50 bucks. Needed an accelerator cable and I used a piano wire to replace it. Blew up on the Woodrow Wilson bridge. Engine case cracked. Pulled the tags and left it there.
