^^ Nice looking car! Interesting color combination. Looks familiar too. I had the same year and model except it was a 4-door hardtop, two-tone pink. 318 cid and 3-speed Torqueflight transmission. Getting out of the USAF in South Dakota, I packed everything I owned into that Dodge for the trip to Seattle. Very good power and handling, better than the '59 Chev 4-door hardtop (283 cid 2-speed auto) my dad had at the time.

You don't see many Dodges, Plymonths, or Desotos of that era. They seemed to rust out fast.
My dad had a 1961 Chevrolet. I couldn't believe how poorly it handled.

Datsun Fairlady Z
A fleeting moment, as the car passed through the intersection I snapped this picture thinking I would never see it again.​

A few minutes later I stopped at a 7-11 to buy a cold drink (hot day at the beach) and there it was in the parking lot.​

Now that they can be registered and legally driven on public roads, 20+ year old JDM vehicles have become a more common sight in Hawaii. This appears to be a late 1990s Honda Street. Me, I might prefer to hold out for an Autozam AZ1, but a tiny van would be mighty useful sometimes.

Featured "Mercedes-Benz SL-500"
The Spider and SL-500 owner's were sitting on the bench. I asked permission to photograph and they happily agreed.​

They don't make roof racks like they used to.​

It's been awhile since I've seen a Camaro SS of this era.
Zenit 412, 50/2 Zenitar, Ferrania P30 (a distinctive film to be sure).
No political statement here, but I'm not going to deface the camera by removing the "Z"!

My high school auto shop teacher had one like this only it was a two door model, same color.

No, the classic car wasn't painted that silly pink, it was a rich red.
I don't know why RFF changed the original color, which is shown correctly on all my screens.
So for RFF I'd better convert all images to B&W to avoid such errors?

This shows as a rich red on my screen, too.

And I like it a lot better in color. Nice photo.
