In the parking lot of a flea market in Hubbardston, MA, I saw a red sixties Ford with a black shaker hood scoop. The car was a little boxy and had a muscle car/sixties sedan look to it. I couldn't recognize the model. It was pretty neat. It was for sale. I am not sure why it wasn't in the flea market if it was for sale but there is probably some reason. In that same parking lot I saw what I think is a Oldsmobile 442. It was flat grey-like the color of primer and it was not for sale.

On 6/12/12 in a car mechanic garage I saw what looked like a 1949 Cadillac Series 62. The 1949 Series 62 was the first car to have high compression V8 engine and was also the first car to have tail fins. Bill Mitchell designed the tail fins. He got the idea from a airplane. The car I saw was in very good condition. On the other side of the street I saw a cream colored early '60s Chrysler. The headlights were in the classic '60s pattern with one upright oval on each side of the car and with two headlights in each of them but on this one the ovals were tilted so the tops were pointed outwards.
On 6/12/12 I saw a totally rusted-out forties tow truck outside of a car garage. I think for it to even be driveable it would take years of restoration. Next door was a house with a bunch of '90s Pontiacs. Most of them were GTOs and Trans Ams. The Trans Am lineup is the Firebird lineup but with a different name. The 1973 or 1974 Firebird was the last of the muscle cars. All of the cars in the driveway were silver.
On 6/12/12 outside what I think is a custom garage with a hard-to-pronounce name I saw a whole lot of cars from the '60s or the '70s. Most of them were muscle cars but two or three of them were sixties sedans. I liked the muscle cars best, mostly because I don't like sixties sedans that much except for the Chevy Impala. One of the muscle cars was a Ford Mustang Mach I. That is one of my favorite Mustangs except for the fastbacks and Shelbys.
Today I saw a black car parked on the side of Rt. 122 in Worchester, MA. It looked like it was from the '40s. It said Packard on the back and it had lots of crome on the bumpers. I think that it was heavily restored. I also saw it yesterday in the same spot. It might belong to one of the people who live in the houses along that street.
On 6/12/12 outside a car garage that said Custom Services Garage on it I saw a blue Ford Mustang that looked like it was from the 1965 or 1966. It was in very good condition and it had no rust on it. It did not have a fastback roof line. I liked it a lot, even though Mustangs are not my favorite kind of car.
I am sorry that I couldn't post anything new for a while but the computer wouldn't let me sign in. During the time that I didn't write anything I saw many cool cars. There was a 1978 Corvette Grand Prix Edition that was often parked in a drive way somewhere in Brookfield, MA or North Brookfield, MA. I think that they are one of the best Corvettes ever, along with the Snakeskinner Corvette, the 1969 Corvette Stingray, and the Corvette CREV I. I also saw one driving out of a Walmart parking lot in Ware, MA. I also saw a 1960 Ford Thunderbird Squarebird pulled over facing south on a downhill stretch of Rt. 89 near Ithaca, NY. I do not like Squarebirds that much, even for Thunderbirds, which I do not like very much. I like the first Thunderbirds with the porthole side rear window and two seats best. I heard that they could go 125 miles per hour, but I think that the Squarebirds were much slower. I also saw, pulling into a driveway in Hardwick, MA, a large greenish blue truck. I think it was from between 1945 and 1967. I did not get a very good view of it because I was about 100 meters away from it, but it looked like it had been either been taken very good care of or been very nicely restored.
