I always enjoy seeing the old iron when I go out west to British California. We have relatives around Seattle and our kid works in Vancouver B.C.
The late, lamented Don Earnshaw lived on Vancouver Island and had a '67 Beaumont SD396 coupe since new.

While in Vancouver just while having lunch at a restaurant I'd see an original paint '69 Fairlane, then a '64 Parisienne Custom Sport convertible, then maybe a Datsun 510.
A bunch of years back when in Seattle to visit relatives, as we drove around I would see different El Caminos every day, literally dozens. Some were worn out, some were being restored. One town had a pair of '67 El Caminos with 396s, then a '66 Caprice a 1/4 mile up, and as I parked I saw a MINT all stock '67 Chevelle 300 post for sale. As I walked over to take a look as the rest of the troupe moved on, a mint '67 Mercury Comet Villager wagon drives by. To me that is heaven.

The coolest was in Atlanta back in 1984. We exited the highway beside a mint, unrestored 1965 Pontiac 2+2 with a 421, gleaming white with bright red buckets, whitewalls & wheel covers. An elderly gentleman in a suit was driving. We asked if he wanted to sell and he just smiled.

Living in /around this city (Victoria) and being a truck driver gives you the best perspective!. Being in a commercial truck gives you a 3 foot height advantage! You can see over fences that normal motorists can't. I have a log {in my brain} of vehicles that I seen over the years driving around the Island. Some...I have knocked on doors, other's I waited to go back and gone. Most...will fix it one day...
