1981 Honda Prelude. Another old car happily lowering property values in the garden district, which to be fair is weirder than I thought it would be - the neighbors like the truck. (Click through for more.)

Cars for sale - This 1954 Packard is at Bridge House. We were there recently to pick up a used washer and dryer and apparently she does run. When not quite so dusty the top is navy blue.

Time for more cars! 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe (styleside?) sedan. This one makes me happy. It looks so classic and correct, not over-restored, with a waxed undercarriage and some ridiculous color of pearl paint.     This one is also apparently not a garage queen, I’ve seen it several times since these were taken. It even manages to have a current brake tag. (The truck does not, but we did manage to get a temp neighborhood parking pass!)

rear window vent glass fender skirts and chrome!

Citroen 2CV on ebay
For only $650. I have a feeling that the entire weird car brigade is going to be bidding on this one.

Paincourtville Fire Truck - looks to be early sixties (gm) was sitting at the entrance to No Problem Raceway. I’m sure someone else has better pictures…

Porsche 356, down on the beach street. Was wandering back to the little beach apartment one day and got a present from the car fairies. Someone uses this to carry a child around! So cool.

Hello little Alfa! Late seventies/early eighties Alfa Romeo Spyder.   Wants my soul, just like all of the rest of them do.   Found this in Grayton Beach a few weeks ago. There was a black one for sale on the drive down from I-10 to the beach in front of some old guy’s junk shop. So tempting.

Sixties Rambler Classic. Have I mentioned that I really love wheels painted to match body colors?    This is a long-delayed jazzfest car post. I have some more beach cars in the pipeline, too.
