The First Neighborhood Search

My son and I went out for the first time today to look for subclassics out in the neighborhood. I know that there's a Toyota Supra and a Volkswagen Fox back in my neighborhood but I decided to save those for later. Today we went searching in the Deaconess area. And it was disappointing. Good subclassics are hard to come by. And I didn't have the courage to get out and take a good series of an individual car so I just got passing snapshots.

What we mainly saw that qualified were small pickups and a few Dodge Aries. But they didn't thrill me. The first reasonable find was this Chevy Nova. This last generation of Nova (actually a Toyota Corolla or Sprinter) ran from 1985-1988 so it qualifies, but blah.

We also saw a Pontiac Fiero, which was a treat, but still not really the "it" I was looking for.


Ready to give up, I headed back towards home but decided to turn down Oakley St thinking that there has got to be something there. There's a used appliance store on the corner of Oakley and Louisiana and used appliance stores and subclassic cars kind of go hand in hand, don't they?

And there it was...



UPDATE: I can't stop looking at this truck. It is beautiful.
