Chevy Fleetwood next door to my work yesterday.

Jeep Cherokee Chief spotted on my morning commute today. Yes it’s a Jeep. Yes it’s still cool as hell.

From last week, this is a 60 I see downtown pretty frequently. Rusty but still being used, just as the Cruiser gods intended.

I have good memories of riding in those old, original Cherokees on the way to Boy Scout camping trips back in prehistoric times. They were always owned by other dads in the troop and I always thought they were super cool. There might have been some Scouts and Travelalls in the mix as well -- I was too young to pay attention to what they were.

There's an incredible early 60s Travelall in my neighborhood that I need to get a picture of. Lots of patina and no rust, very lifted, and it sits on 37s or 40s. It's huge without being gimmicky.

Okay 40 gurus, were 40’s used as airport tugs? That’s what this one looks like:

Good looking 40 but a crappy Pic. BUT it was the first cruiser that my girlfriend's 11 year old spotted by himself. 😁

Aston Martin at Sprouts on Colfax last night. Just a simple grocery getter.

Saw another AM commuting this morning but didn’t get a photo. Always thought they had better lines than most “luxury sports cars”.

That Travelall has been around for years! I have never seen the back window up. Even in the dead of winter.

Definitely not a tug. Just an oddball thing someone like one of us built. Those classic plates are even a classic now. That plate hasn't been available since the late 90's

It used to be on 35th & Williams for a long time. Then I saw it at a shop across from mine and finally met the dude. He’s got some old Alfas, that’s kind of his thing.

No better place to run into another Rising Sun member than the In-N-Out drive through!

Thanks for the photos. Hope you guys had a great night!!
Chase! Two days ago I “discovered” your tailgate panel in a stack of other stuff at my house. I remember saying I was gonna drop it off and instead just dropped the ball. Let me get that to you this week!
