Took my truck in for service this morning and this old Standard Vanguard was sitting on the lot. Odd looking thing for sure, and had to use Google to find out what it was. Can't be too many of these around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Vanguard

The Vanguard was the first car my dad owned when he first came to Canada in the mid fifties.

Quote from: Blueprint on November 02, 2020, 01:24:32 pm^^ Saw a same-gen Pontiac Parisienne this morning, white sedan with burgundy vinyl top. Drove to the actual, physical office this morning for my first sit-down-at-the-cube day since March. IT finally decided to upgrade my dead work-provided laptop While downtown I caught a glimpse of another big Pontiac, this time something from the mid-sixties, long and low.I bet the back of that wagon has a row of seats that face backward. There’s also a guy who lives close to my girls’ school who drives around in a Nissan Figaro. my girls thought it was really cute & were surprised that the driver was on the wrong side of the car. Ha
