Vintage drivers. See one post it up.
Looking to see vintage cars being used. Not interested in car show shots. But vehicles out and about town (or country)
Here's some I've seen.

Keith, I like the 78-79 Monza wagon parked next to your truck!
I just happened to take this picture yesterday In North Buffalo NY, 70? GP & 63-64 Impala, both have been there on and off for the last 2 weeks I have been here. Also earlier this week there was a beat up Diesel Chevette in the Tonawanda engine plants parking lot. If it shows up again I will snap a picture.

Wow, diesel Chevette, that is a blast from the past. A friend bought one new in the early 80's. He said it was the slowest accelerating vehicle GM ever made.

Jerry, as I was leaving the plant yesterday there was no Chevette, but there was this very nice looking if slightly pimped Duece & a Quarter 4-door. The colors didn't come out well in the drive by picture, it is a pale yellow with a white top.
But as I was walking in this morning there was the D Chevette. The driver must work night shift.

Ah yes, the Electra 225. I remember a guy back in the day always talking about getting a Duece and a quarter in white on white on white.

If you're looking for cars in original condition this doesn't fit, but it is a 1969. Seen parked at the local Arby's restaurant today. Don't know what it had for an engine but there was a six speed transmission, along with houndstooth upholstery.

Heres some of my 71 and 77 that I daily from about April to December. Nothing feels better than jumping in a classic and just going about your day like you were driving a regular car.

I was out around town. Stopped in on our alignment buddy. He had just finished up the '65 Vette with the 396 in the background. He's a wizard on the alignment. Always perfect.

A couple more from Tonawanda NY, the Ford Elite looks like a time machine from the early 1980"s.

Last Friday when I was back in Michigan for a couple of days, I saw this 55 Chevy 4-Door running 75mph down the highway. I almost got the passenger side.
I passed me so quick I didn't notice the modern wheels and tires until I looked at the pictures.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
