One for Firm's late '80s/early '90s GM collection...

As stupid as it sounds, I think owing a W41 (190HP) Olds manual would be a blast. I think they are classic looking clean shape cars. They are rare as hens teeth, and would definitely be a draw a local cruise nights. I do not think the W41 was ever offered with auto trans.

You and I have very different definitions of what would be a draw on cruise nights based on the pic above...  :rofl2:

For you folks in the GTA - cute little Midget at No Reserve in Etobicoke:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-mg-midget-12/



Could be an interesting little play toy, but being a suspicious guy, was purchased in March 2020, and is being listed for sale 5 months later? A flipper, or does this car hold deeper secrets.  ???

That is almost identical to my first car, mine was a '71 IIRC, but with similar tiny backdated bumpers.   Mine was light bluish-gray

Extremely rare. And if it were close to me it would be in danger of winding up in my collection of misfit cars.

My dad's first Toyota was an '86 Camry sedan.  He's bought Toyotas ever since.  Nice to see a liftback in great condition.

That looks pretty decent. thanks for the heads up. My boy has actually been driving his on a daily basis for the last couple of weeks but we need to get through the dreaded safety inspection pretty soon.

Another K car for Bubba. Dodge 600 for $2500. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/bridgewater/84-dodge-600-mint/1518290243?undefined

Looks like it's lived a charmed life.  I'd be tempted to offer $1,500.

Wow! I'd most definitely own that if it were closer. I had a 84 600ES (the sporty version) years ago. Those are rare cars!

Dad bought a new E-Class in '84, the year I got my license. Base no-frills model, but with the digital gauge cluster and vocal notices (in French!). Same red as this, wide whitewall Michelin X tires but silver wheel covers.
