Farmer matt Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Little bit of a cruise here last night, mainly US stuff. Light wasnt great but I managed a few pics which you might enjoy. I will not embarass myself trying to caption them as I havent really looked at this scene for years so rather than be wrong I will write nowt. I do know this first one though, a stray Brit, Mk2 Escort.

IMG_7726 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr IMG_7738 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr IMG_7734 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr I'm not sure what this is, but I like it. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7736 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr I think this might be a 1956 Ford Fairlane convertible. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7739 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr My initial thought was Pontiac GTO, but I think it's actually a Chevrolet Chevelle. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7741 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr A Plymouth Satellite from about 1966. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7744 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr An Oldsmobile Cutlass, again I think from 1966. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7773 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr Zooming in, the licence plate reads "1956 Oldsmobile" and the boot (trunk) script states, "Ninety Eight", so I'm going to state that this is a 1956 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7786 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr No idea, but I'm not a fan of those wheels. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7779 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr I'm going to guess that it's a Ford Model A of some kind. IMG_7812 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr No idea, not my thing but looks quite nicely done. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7837 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr 1968 Dodge Charger, I think round tail lights were '68 only. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7858 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr Someone said Mercury and I'm not going to contradict them. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: IMG_7874 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr IMG_7882 by Matt Farmer, on Flickr 1958 Cadillac. 19 hours ago, Farmer matt said: There were many more, especially later on, Dixie horns and V8 burbling long into the night. Thankyou for looking, Matt I hope that helps, I've captioned to the best of my ability. I won't be offended if someone wants to mark my work 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The Chevelle is a '66, the Olds Cutlass is a '67, the black & white thing with horrible wheels is a 1939 Chrysler and the all over orange one is a '37 Ford that desperately needs rescuing from its '90s street rod treatment. '49 Merc and '68 Charger for me. 😍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer matt Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Thankyou guys, I'm glad you liked these. Thanks @johnlambert and @Six97s for the ids, I just looked up the reg for the cream open wheeler and it is a 1934 Sunbeam Dawn. Not sure if now that vintage cars are exempt from most camera monitered charges perhaps the laws on reg display have been relaxed. The Mercury struck a chord with me, there was a primered one parked up too. The first ever toy/ model I ever resprayed was the Dinky Toys Mercury, which ended up a fetching shade of midnight blue when I was about ten.
