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!

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