Nice Ride

 

This is not what I think of when I think of a Jaguar but it certainly has nice sleek lines. I couldn't resist stopping for a pic.

Mural On A Vehicle

 

When I went to see Cirque Du Soleil a couple of weeks ago Nissan was one of the sponsors and they had this vehicle on display. They were projecting images related to the Mexican theme of the show on to it. I think this counts as a mural.

Little Red Fiat

 

I showed you a tiny old green Fiat a few weeks ago and came upon this nice red one so I had to show it. It is a lot bigger than the old one but still small. A tall friend of mine has one and he together with his 6ft 7in son manage to squeeze into it. I love the colour.

Fiat Again

 

Yesterday I couldn't decide whether to show the front or back of the Fiat 500L so I am showing the back view today. I love the lines of the back view.

Green Beauty

 

I was in a parking lot and just walking over to take a pic of this car when the owner came out and started to jump in. I quickly ran over and asked if I could take some shots and he was pleased to step away. It is a 1971 Fiat 500L and in perfect condition. He only drives it for 6 months of the year. I'll show you a shot of the back tomorrow.

Muscle Car

 

I went by the hand car wash place again and saw this shiny Corvette out front. Pretty impressive but I still like the old ones better.

Black Beauty

 

I was walking past a shop that does hand wash car washes when I spotted this beauty parked out front so of course had to stop. It is an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk111 and was in perfect condition inside and out. They were only made from 1964 to 1967 and so are quite collectible. I loved it.

After The Storm

 

This pic was taken a week after the big snow storm and many cars are still covered in a lot of snow. It is going to take a lot of digging to get these two out onto the road. Most people in the downtown parts of the city park on the street.

On Patrol

 

This old police car, a 1957 Chevy, often comes out for special events like the Santa Claus parade which was the case here. The car sat on Bloor St and led off the start of the parade. Quite a difference from the police vehicles that we see today.

A Car In The Doorway

 

I never did figure out the story behind this Fiat parked in what looks to be the entrance to a cafe or gallery. I only saw the doorway opened once so never got the story. It makes for a great shot though.

An Oldie

 

I was walking along on a beautiful day when I spotted this beauty parked in a driveway. It is a 1954 Pontiac and was in mint condition.

Cafe

It was the 1958 Impala up above this cafe in Merida Mexico that caught my attention. That was the first year that the Impala was built and I don't think I have ever seen one before. This was a morning pic but by evening this place was packed and the sign was highlighted with neon.

Protecting Your Ride

 

I have heard of these wheel locks but had never seen them in use before passing by this vehicle the other day. There have been a lot of vehicles stolen in this city and this is one way to stop the thieves.

From The 1960s

 

I was wandering along after a long walk and came across this old Dodge Dart. I am not sure about its age other than probably from the mid 60s when cars still had individual styles unlike today when so many of them look alike. It looked to be in great condition.

Mini

 

I spotted this Mini Cooper just before the owner came along and had just crossed the street for a side view when he went over to the door. It actually had right-hand drive. They are such cute little cars. I gave him a thumbs up as he drove off.

T'Bird

 

I loved the 2-seater Thunderbirds from the 50s and the models from 2002 to 2005 weren't bad either. Red would be nice.

Elegance

 

The hood ornament from a Jaguar is so elegant.

Surprise

 

I first noticed the sleek car and then the surprise was the passenger in the back seat. Mickey rides in style. The car is a Jaquar XK8 and very nice indeed.

Blue

 

I was walking along when suddenly this blue treasure appeared. It is a 1965 Ford Falcon and looked to be in mint condition. Times have certainly changed in vehicle design.

A Strange Sight

 I'm not sure why but this Batmobile was actually in the St Patrick's Day parade. I have no idea what the connection would be to Ireland but maybe some of you may have an idea.  I didn't think of posting it with the rest of the parade pics.
