Cars of Mexico: Geo Tracker

 This survivor hangs out in our parking lot. Teal with a manual transmission.

Paw Paw Pinto Pick-up

 We were headed for a walk through the Paw Paw Tunnel and made a stop in town for a cold refreshment.  Looking over from the parking lot I spotted a different vehicle.  It was the first Pinto pick-up conversion I had seen.  This one appears to have started life as a fake woodgrain Pinto wagon.  The rear window appears to have been salvaged from the wagon's tailgate.  This one looks to be long gone and abandoned much like the nearby Jaguar.  Pinto pick-up conversions appear to have been rare.

The Paw Paw Tunnel is a 3000 foot walk into darkness and back out.  It is an amazing place to visit if you go looking for this old Pinto conversion.

Rust Never Sleeps

 

Karmann Ghia

 The Karmann Ghia had modest roots in the VW Beetle, but it had a sleek outer skin that still looks wonderful today.  This one was with guests in Shenandoah.  It appears to be in the process of some work as shown by the missing trim ring on the passenger headlight and the missing trim pieces.  It looks like a loved machine seeing some work.  In non-COVID times, I would have looked for the owners and told them how much I appreciated their ride.  This year we were only able to enjoy spotting it as it headed south on Skyline Drive.

Waxing Time

 She recently reached her second birthday.  Sunday is the Miata's turn for waxing.  Unfortunately, it's almost time for the hardtop too.

Honda Clarity

 I spotted a rare Honda Clarity in a nearby Target.  It's the second one I have seen in the wild.  Clarity's sell lightly, but about 34,000 have been sold in the US since introduced in 2016.  They seem to be targeted on the coasts with the hydrogen fuel cell version of the model to only have sales in California and Oregon.  This one seems to have started out in Maryland and migrated to Northeast Ohio.  The car is reasonably attractive with the rear fender skirts the only design feature that sticks out.  Honda has carried that design from the first Insight.

1968 Ford Galaxie 500

 We were visiting Winchester, Virginia and taking a walk through town.  This '68 Galaxie was parked on the street.  Its rough in places, but looks like a daily driver for someone.  It was an interesting sighting on our walk.
