One of those cars that came and went and has now been forgotten about.

A couple of old timers, one pre-war, one post-war.

I can hear the power steering pump squeal on that one. ;o)

Had a ride in one of those vans in 1968, in the front seat and realised all you got for protection in case of a crash is a thin sheet of metal.

I kept turning the crank but it wouldn't start. Even though this is California, the back country folk can be a little touchy, in between these two shots I had to calm the owner of the property. I was on a fire road and not on his property but he was very...... "concerned".

Few of these look like daily drivers. Folks don't seem to drive cars 10 years anymore.
The average new car costs $48,000. No wonder people complain about being broke.

Yeah, you do look kind of suspicious. He may have been raising weed which would make him jumpy. Between the cops and the criminals it is a dicey business.

I can see how a guy standing out in the street with a camera shooting facing his yard might have been concerning, as there's lots of the weed in them thar hills too.

I like old Kaisers too, but this one got an "Earl Shieb" paint job.
