Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

Not overly exotic, but I’d love this El Camino I spotted in Austin, TXView attachment 68552

They don’t need to be “exotic” if they look just right. And this one does: I like a tire to have a bit of sidewall to it and the wheels are perfect IMHO.

A nice looking Ford Truck in Boquete, Panama.

A Hyundai coupe that I am not familiar with, also in Boquete.

Cuba in the late 90s - interesting trip , no spices , food mostly from Canada - dived just outside the airport , traffic of tankers still overhead
Fork lift engine from memory

This is where they rust! A Mini near the Caribbean coast of Panama.


The first of hundreds of VW Savierno pickups.

They rust everywhere, even in the desert!
It's a constant battle to keep them from doing it. 10% of the weight of mine is Waxoyl.

This is a Fiat light delivery vehicle. I wonder if it has a steel or fiberglass body with all the curves where the box joins to the cab.

It wouldn't be fibre glass but some sort of "plastic".
Appears to have a lot in common with the Renault/Peugeot/ Citroen/Dacia platform.

Not exactly exotic but hopefully slightly interesting, my neighbours daughter currently home for christmas drives the modern (bloated) version. This one's a "Countryman".
Of course it is a BMW these days, but at least the BRG colour scheme looks the part!!

A first generation Ford Falcon built in Argentina in the ‘80s…. Photo taken in Montevideo l

That’s a real hybrid! Looks like a 63 with a different front and arse grafted on

An old Brit getting gas for his old car.

While having our lunch at a winery p, a car club from Montevideo stopped for a meal.

I’ll post pics of the individual vehicles in the coming days. It was quite an eclectic bunch of cars!

There are a lot of Meharis at the beaches in Uruguay, this one is at our B&B.

 

[Alzero]

This is the lunch that was waiting for them.

This is our mid morning snack earlier that day.

An old Ford Model T linesman service car, or a cute replica of one.

 

[Vince]

That looks like the original Peg and I forget house wiring.

Is that a morse transmitter? Fantastic. I presume it all packed away into a box when travelling!
