On 6/30/12 Somewhere in North Brookfield, MA, I saw a Oldsmobile 442. I think that it was from 1970. It was a hardtop. I think that Oldsmobile 442s were some of the nicer muscle cars. It had two white stripes running forwards down the hood. I do not remember what color it was. That's because I was paying attention to something even more interesting about the car. It had no hood! and it was driving down the road! The mounts where the hood would have been were up like the hood had been up and then it just fell off. The road that it was driving on was a pretty main road too. It was going about forty miles per hour. The first four in the name stands for a four speed transmission. The second four stands for a four barrel carburetor. I do not know what the last two stands for.

On 6/25/12 in the North Brookfield, MA Hannaford parking lot I saw a light blue Buick Riviera. I think it was a 1965 Riviera GS. It looked like it had been repainted in a bunch of spots with a color that was a tiny bit lighter than the original coat. It looked really neat. I think it is one of the best-looking Rivieras that I have ever seen. I think that it looks way better than the "boat-tail" ones.

Pulling out of the parking lot of that same flea market I saw what I think is one of the best sightings ever recorded on this blog. Ever. It was a pinkish 1959 Cadillac Eldorado. It was a bit rusty in some places and the mounds of chrome were a bit pitted but it was exactly matched the pictures in my car book. It leaned a bit to the right. I think either there were more people on that side of the suspension was a bit broken. The fins were even more dramatic than the pictures in car books could show. The sets of red tail lights on each fin  were used as blinkers and they worked in pairs. The car had trouble turning on some of the switchbacks in the road because it was twenty feet long. That's about two smart cars long. I think that they were one of the best Cadillacs of the fifties. The tail lights were very bright. It is one of my three favorite fifties production cars.

Some were in Hubbardston, MA, I saw what I think is a old abandoned service station or gas station. There were a lot of cars from the early forties in front of it. All of them except one were totally rusted out. The not totally rusty one was white and had lots of spots of rust on it. One of the totally rusty ones was missing the whole engine compartment and hood and all of the front wheels. It looked like it had been cut off and where it had been cut off was also very rusty. I am sorry that I can't offer any reference to what kinds they were. I would like to learn more about them and the building that they were in front of. I have no idea why someone would have just left the cars there to rust.

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.
