Haha! The beat was cool too! You really feel how awesome these cars were during their generation! I would really admire that one person who can identify all these models.

Anyhow, there’s a lot of good stuff in the video slideshow of the vintage car collection you did. I even saw the car my grandpa used to own. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.gorruds.com/buy-used-cars-hamilton-ontario.htm" rel="nofollow">Stelle Courney</a><br />Stellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608312834729576944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-50696338666493194812011-08-02T12:01:32.429-07:002011-08-02T12:01:32.429-07:00still mind goin to see the who in london in 1970. ...still mind goin to see the who in london in 1970. 6 of us in an anglia took 16 hours there and 17 back. i still wake up sweating at nites thinkin about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-90926504167754294442011-07-07T06:26:41.300-07:002011-07-07T06:26:41.300-07:00All of their colors look so awesome!

Maybe they'd be sportin' that to bring fashion on the streets, too! Haha! Retro cars can impress almost everyone! Btw, great collection of cars in that vid. You've shared so many in just 5 minutes!

YSC168 has a really cheeky looking front, while the Anglia looks like a frog. There are a few horrors - that early Vauxhall Viva is a box on wheels (and not even a very nice box). I liked the Consul the best - nice, clean lines, but not distinctive enough to be a "classic". <br /><br />I wonder if today's kids will be able to name contemporary cars in 40 years time.<br /><br />I was trying to identify the locations, but soon realised it was Edinburgh. Crewe Toll Service Station looks a bit different today.jim7474https://www.blogger.com/profile/06946836865883792501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-31087033362410353962011-01-30T02:07:07.381-08:002011-01-30T02:07:07.381-08:00My mate's dad had a Hillman Imp in the 70s.

They are courtesy of The Scotsman.<br />When I was a kid in the 60's, I thought they called the "Anglia" that because it was designed using lots of sharp angles! Schoolboy logic!<br />I kind of lost interest in cars when I stopped playing football in the streets, so my ability to name cars ends around about the Ford Capri era!<br />The majority of cars these days just seem to use a "one design fits all" template!!RETRO DUNDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746839418666784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-9677279977463072292011-01-29T07:36:15.234-08:002011-01-29T07:36:15.234-08:00Dear Retro, thanks for the brilliant collection of...Dear Retro, thanks for the brilliant collection of car pictures. I think a lot of the photos could have been taken in Edinburgh judging by the registrations ending in SF, WS, SG, etc. which came from there.<br />Of course all the the bland euroboxes of today are more reliable etc. but the old cars were more individual (and mostly made in Britain). The Imp and its variants - Singer Chamois, Sunbeam Stiletto,and Californian were made at Linwood, Paisley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
