Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon
Sunnyvale, California
My family owned an earlier example of this second generation of the model, a 1977 model that my parents purchased new in the fall of 1976.
It was the car in which I learned to drive. To this day I believe that my learning to parallel-park a barge like this prepared me well for parallel parking all of the smaller cars that I've driven since then.
The Oldsmobile division of General Motors no longer exists, having been shut down in 2004.

Another of several "custom" vans used to transport skydivers and other personnel around the grounds of Skydive Arizona
The upper bodywork was removed with a power saw, and plywood benches around the interior replace all original seating other than the driver's seat. And no, this vehicle is *not* "street legal!" But that's not a problem, as it never leaves the airport.

While stopped at a traffic light in San Jose, California, I used my phone to photograph this Porsche 356 Speedster on a trailer.
Decades ago I had the good fortune to drive a 1964 Porsche 356C coupe on a number of occasions, including a round trip that was about 100 miles in each direction, and it was a wonderful car.
