but today I saw a lime green DAF 33 2 door, putting around town under its own power. About all Google could tell me about DAF is that they were Dutch. Who knew the Dutch ever built cars? -Jason

This car is an example of why I've always preferred '56 over '57 Chevies, it's the perfect color combo. http://hemmings.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/dealers.detail/hmn_vehic- le_id/217376 |

is a sweet car. Bronze was always one of those colors that I considered really risky. Some cars can pull it off, but other cars look horrible in that color. This '56 looks perfect in it. And just for comparison, that auto museum does have a couple of '57 Chevies for sale too. It's interesting to look at the pics and see just how much they changed between the two years. There's no way the auto makers could afford to differentiate the cars that much every year nowadays! They also have a '56 Ford, and it looks downright tacky compared to the '56 Chevy. Interestinly, I always thought the '56 Chevy looked a little Ford-ish up front, but it still looks better than any F-word of the era!

| ...spotted yesterday - a rather rough 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle and a silver VW Phaeton. | |

In surprisingly good condition, not an SS, in an unfortunate color -- tan. I don't know how to tell the '63 from the '64. |

Subaru Justy... not in too bad of shape.. I think it rides on 12" tires... From behind, they look incredibly tiny... |

I was called in to appraise a 1965 Dodge 270 Dart 2-door post sedan w/ 273 V8. Car has 67,000 original miles on it, not started since 1988! Body was pretty good (one dent in rear quarter, dented up grill), interior pretty much original and clean (one bad armrest), engine a bit dirty, ditto chassis===typical road dirt. "old lady" car. Four flat tires, dead battery natch. I figured $1,800-$2,500 as is, where it sits.
