    Thanks Jason....Not super common, but I've seen probably 20-30 in my lifetime. Was a Canadian thing mostly, they were called M's instead of F's....as in M1, M100, M250. I'd really like to have one, they're pretty cool and parts would still be easy to get for the most part as they're mostly just trim changes from the Fords.

    This vette in Fort Lauderdale normally sits under a cover. All I can figure is the owner removed the cover as some small means of hurricane prep.

    Seems odd given the situation with the t-tops. 20190903_082756.jpg

    Visited one of my customers today and he had this in his storage building. His Father bought it new and it has had one repaint.

    My neighbor two houses down. He’s into Buicks and Cadillacs. He hauls home a “new” one every year. Haven’t seen him work on any though.

    Couple things I've seen in the last week. Guy drives the Caddy all the time. Dig the 90s time warp Blazer.

    Both vehicles are cool, the Blazer is being driven and enjoyed till it falls apart.
    Same with the Caddy, getting the full experience of driving an older car in ALL weather, THATS COOL:cool:

    Discovered this parked next to me as I came out of the restaurant we were eating at. Good looking ride.

    I rarely see any muscle running around but this year I saw a 1970 gs 350 cruising through a green light right in front of me in all it's patina glory.
    Two days ago I got passed by a really nice 71 cuda convertible, likely a local guy from my graduating class. I have seen pictures of his shop and seventeen roadrunners, chargers, challengers and cuda's.
