Slight correction

Sorry, Dave, but that's a Dart. A Dadge Dart.

All kidding aside, these lesser-known cars of Frisco are super interesting, with unexpected cool elements. That one a few cars back with the horn going through the bodywork is an example of what I mean.

I realize there were darn good cost/hassle reasons why car makers stopped using nitrocellulose lacquers, but they sure made for a beautiful finish when new. Can't imagine trying to maintain it. But I wait for you to find a nifty sunburst finished suto to match my old Mosrite guitars!

The Gray ones

were built about 30 miles from my home.

No Where Else

Is the Golden Gate park the only place in SF to take automobile photos?
