It's not like I live on the streets or troll parking lots. But in the course of running errands one must use public parking. On this day it was up north in the Pinellas Park area and spotted these interesting wheels.
What is this, a '58 Chevy hearse? Didn't even know companies used the Chevy to make hearses, so I don't know if this is just a modified car to look like one or not, but anyway it was a pretty neat thing to see, if you are into this sort of stuff. Personally I'm not a fan of modified stuff. My preference is purely stock, just as it came off the line. But, if was a younger guy, without attachments, how cool would this baby be? The beach parties, the sunsets...oh baby.
It is certainly a one of a kind job, with side pipes and mag wheels. It was in pristine condition, too. Flawless.
Nice conversation piece, and head turner. Would be a laugh at the local car shows. Nicely done mod vehicle, not particularly my taste in old car, but nicely done, anyway.
A little later in the day I spotted this beautiful jet-black old-style Corvette. I'm not up on my 'Vettes so I don't know what year it is but I would suspect late 60's early 70's. It had that old Stingray look to it.
Love it. Actually I had the use of a Vette once when I worked at the Mary one summer. My girlfriend's Dad had some wealth and he lent her a Corvette that i ended up driving.
And then you have monstrosities like this baby. It takes a ladder or the driver being half monkey to get into the cab. No problem seeing the road, however. Wouldn't this be easy to tip over on a curve?
And finally, Florida still has its share of hippies and their wheels. Look anywhere in this area and you'll see the gray long haired guys with earrings either recapturing or never moved out of their youthful flower-child days. Here is an old VW van that I'm sure has seen its share of nickel bags.
