We were in Lorain County for our second COVID-19 vaccine shots. I spotted this old Mercedes in a handicapped spot near the entrance. The body is starting to show 40 years of Ohio weather, but this is still a well loved car by the looks. Mercedes was different in those days. They were rarely seen. Now the sport utes are everywhere.
We stopped at Young's Custard Stand just outside Zelienople and returned to parking to spot this clean 64 T-Bird near us in the parking lot. It looks like a super weekend ride for a couple at the stand enjoying ice cream. Young's was not offering their super pistachio soft serve when we visited, but Ladybug enjoyed a banana cone. This place has the perfect space for cruise evenings.
I've been seeing this car in front of an old diner on and off for months. I've wanted to stop for images, but the time was never right. I drove by in the late afternoon and knew the light was terrible, but I had time to stop. It's developed a flat tire since I last saw it, but it is still worth a look.
The images are not what I wanted, but this is one bad*ss looking Karmann Giha. It's not perfect by any measure, but it captured my eye.
Ever wonder about those old cars sitting in the woods and slowly returing to nature? We spotted this Buick Century in the far corner of a city park. What happened to put them there and who left them. This one probably goes back to the days when Westlake was still farmland.
