Local Cars for Local People

One of the pleasures of walking around the neighbourhood is checking out the exotic (and not so exotic) machinery on display. Everything from immaculately-prepared hotrods, through to European rust-buckets.

Gorgeous slices of Detroit iron are all over the place. I find it funny that although I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about cars, I could not name most of them at a glance.
'Patina' is what I think it is called.
Except for the questionable alloys, there are quite a few older European classics as well. Inexplicably, there are Alfa Romeos everywhere; how they have not rusted into a pile of oxides by now I will never know.
Whether it is the authentic colour or not matters not a jot (if that colour is bright orange, at least).
There is a line of modified mid-90s luxe-barges over here, but that does not explain why you would want a graffiti mural on your Caddy.
… and every so often you come across something utterly cute.

    Absolutely awesome. I always love that in the US. The licence plates can be amusing too
