Looking to see vintage vehicles being driven about the planet. Parked along the curb is fine, just rather not have photos from car shows. I see them all the time do you too?

Some to start off with. The first one I've saw 3 times around the Providence hospital in SE Portland before I caught it in the Providence parking lot. And the Corvette was a regular at my old banks parking garage.

Re: Vintage vehicles driving around. See one post it up.
 
Great theme for a thread. One thing I love about living where I do is I get the coolest vehicles rolling past here. There are a few pro-streeters I'll hear them idle thumping along, hitting stall speed once and I while to keep rolling long before rounding the bend. I'm in the middle of a straight stretch and when they see me out they'll give it a tap. Love it! And they know I do. The hyped out modern speedy cars flashing by get a finger and big fat "SLOW DOWN". The coolheaded badass cars get a thumbs up. Motorcycle clubs, groups of 10-20-50 roll past. A Model A couple, spittin' and popping as he rolls into the bend, putting by in the early morning. All kinds of classics from '40s-'70s.

In town I see them doing their errands or just cruising around. I followed a '69 Camaro Pace Car with top down down Main St yesterday. My camera needs a battery or charger I have yet to order. I really need to do that. I'm funny, but I use camera/laptop together with using the forum/e-mail and only internet on phone is Facebook and Google results. I 'm taking pictures with the phone as much as I was with my camera. So I could save to my laptop off of FB I guess

Funny. I had my '63 GP out yesterday and saw two other vintage cars (an old Ford LTD and a MOPAR). Neither of those guys waved back.

Kinda awkward (like extending your hand for a handshake and getting rejected).

This is, indeed, gonna be a cool thread. There are several older 80s and older that I see in my town fairly regularly. I’ll try to snap some pics and post em.

When I drive one of my classics, I wave anyway. My Grandpa died when I was 10. I rode with him alot as a kid. Back then, most people waved at each other. When he would encounter one that didn't he would mutter the words
"Non waving son of a b$@%#". I smile and think of Poppy every time it happens to me. Bring it on, I say.

That's unfortunate Keith....the Elitist Enthusiasts just don't appreciate the history and cool like the majority of us.

I find I get a wave on old county roads these days. Not so much in town. I thought I was getting a wave at me up town just a while ago, turned out the guy was giving someone the finger. I hope it wasn't me? ;)

Lately without my old 71 Automatic that I sold I do not get to take photos of another older car or truck becasuse I have so much to do to drive my own .. mine is my (Avatar Photo) and it's a 4 speed and has a hard clutch .. Lots of shifting up and down... plus I plainly do not go much of anywhere any more.. I will keep a look out for a classic stopped where I can stop and grab a photo ..

I'm pretty sure this military jeep pick up is a late 60's. Saw it parked in downtown Vancouver.

Re: Vintage vehicles driving around. See one post it up.
 
Went to an in-town vehicle meetup. I'm a lazy old goat, I didn't take any pics. HOT. When I got in my econobox, it showed 102 in the shade. Wasn't supposed to be this hot today. People came and were splitting early, even though the afternoon breeze off the ocean (15+ miles away) was kicking in. Didn't take the truck, because I was visiting member Richard earlier in the day and saw that I had coolant puddling in the street, across from this house. I'll look at that tomorrow. I'm hoping that it's something simple like the water pump. Got a freebie grille insert from Richard, and got that installed between our visit and the meetup. Thank you very much, Richard! It'll be nice to have a correct grille in this truck after all these years.

I was bad. There was a beautifully restored Lincoln Zephyr with the flathead V-12 in it. I told the owner that it needed two more carburetors. It had some puny 1-BBL downdraft carburetor on it.

Saw these two in my neighborhood this week. I know the Saab gets driven all the time but I've never seen the Chevelle being driven but it must as it's not always parked in the same place in front of the house.

I don’t understand why people park like this . It’s not going to stop someone from parking next to them . I think it actually invites a butthole to park next to it

Me either. If you don't have to follow the lines then neither do I. If I am in a beater and have a bad attitude it might just make it more likely to park right next to you.

I agree that he might as well put it in a proper space, but when you go out deep in the lot and aren't taking up extra spaces near the store, not really a big deal.

I got out on the state road yesterday morning on my way to a car show and up ahead I spy an old Ford. I caught up to it (wasn't hard) and hung back so I could watch it going up the road, and act as a guard against dangerous drivers. He was rolling at 43-45 pretty steady. It was really neat, like I was driving along in the late-30s or '40s. No cars caught up with us the first 10 miles to the next town. The show was at the next town Ruritan Club grounds. It's a '37 Tudor and the guy may have been as old as the car. I caught up with him at the show and he thanked me for following

Saw this truck last Saturday at a pizza joint. We were pulling out one side of the parking lot and he was pulling in the other. Made my wife block around so I could get a photo. Have since found out who the owner is and going to try to meet up at next months cars and coffee.

Nice one.

This one's sitting at the Street Rod Roundup last weekend. But I got to follow it down the road to the fairgrounds about 5 miles. I love that thing. Sounded badass, too. Probably 4.10s in it

Spied this nice convertible on I-5. It was on hydraulic suspension and bouncing around as that kind of suspension does. He was only doing 50 mph and he was working hard to keep it in one lane. Amazing what people will put up with to look cool. Nice guy though smiled and waved when I passed him.
