Once a year the parking lots along Havana St look a little bit different. If usually you can see the ordinary cars here, one night in June you can find the nicest cars from any time - tuned modern sport coupes, cosmic designed mid-twenty century dreadnoughts, bright hot-rods and, surely, hundred year old Fords...
Let's make our first stop next to this amazing green Kaiser Darrin 1954. It's a fantastic car! Fiberglass body, F-head Willys “Hurricane” inline six-cylinder engine, pocket-doors. The car price was $3668 and it was costlier than a Series 62 Cadillac or a Lincoln Capri at the time, but Kaiser offered plenty of luxury stuff as standard equipment including a tinted windshield with washers and comprehensive instrumentation including a tachometer. Production began in January 1954, but when Henry Kaiser changed his business focus from automobiles to healthcare by purchasing an interest in the Permanente hospital chain in California, production halted with 435 Kaiser-Darrins built.
Isn't black polished and chromed Pontiac beautiful? With Indian head decoration and all these shiny details...
What do you think about Chevrolet? I just like the eyebrows ;)
Packard... This name is forgotten now...
How do you like Lincoln Continental which still uses original 1947 license plates?
Let's touch the red crocodile skin covering the Chevy's hood and walk around the old redneck Ford T.
Can you just pass by and not stop near turning green Hammer with six (!) subwoofers? Actually, better not to stop, cuz this car was LOUD as a hell!
Believe it or not, but this is one of the first Ford 1915 (yes, this is over 100 years old and still running!
Later we got into the chairs and stayed near Havana St for a while. Just to look at all these nice creatures running along the road between modern cars. It was just an amazing day in the parking lot ;)
