My dad and I went on a basic automotive cruise over the weekend and it obtained me pondering. What automotive are you simply sick to dying of seeing?
We weren’t on the Woodward Dream Cruise, by the best way. This cruise was a smaller affair. My dad and I piled into his 1978 MGB and made our manner down a park-like street known as Hines Drive by southeast Michigan with a parade of different automobiles, throughout 25 years outdated. You haven’t lived till you hear your 70-year-old father exclaim “No manner is that over 25 years outdated!” at each ’90s Chevy truck you go.
Classics parked haphazardly alongside the route, so we popped out of the MGB for a wander. And whereas we did see some cool stuff, like a 1951 Kaiser Deluxe with its SUV-like hatch and a completely out-of-pocket Nissan Fairlady, we noticed an entire lot of the identical vehicles I’ve seen my entire life. Row after row of brightly coloured ’57 Bel Airs and black ’70s Camaro SSes. Over and over and over.
Sure, this being Detroit, we’re gonna have a preponderance of Detroit issues like quick low cost Camaros and massive lumbering household automobiles of the bygone period, however rattling. Couldn’t we get slightly spicier with it? My very own Dad, who labored within the auto business, opted for a underpowered British roadster that’s no less than attention-grabbing if not dependable.
We solely walked just a few rows earlier than we each shrugged off the copy-paste present vehicles. It’s not simply basic exhibits, nonetheless. It’s a cliche that Automobiles & Espresso occasions are sometimes ransacked by Ford Mustangs, and no the place is that extra true than within the coronary heart and soul of Ford nation. To not point out the terrific quantity of last-gen Chargers and Challengers. Our west coasters say they’re uninterested in meetups stuffed with Porsche 911s.
What about you? What automotive have you ever seen nearly sufficient of?
