Are cars with weird problems good spots? It appears this Lincoln's rear shocks gave up the ghost. Also note the especially raggedy Eldorado next to it.

It would depend on the problem I guess, but I wouldn't exactly call bad rear shocks a weird problem.

This car comes out a couple times a year, and I was finally able to get a picture of it. It looks unrestored, and I'm assuming it probably runs, unless they're pushing it in and out of the garage. The people (or person, I have no idea) who live(s) there is a total hermit and never comes out, and often leaves all the lights off at night. The house isn't exactly overrun by weeds, but it's pretty crappy. I've nicknamed it the meth house. Any clue what this car is?

Yummi, 1948 Buick Sedanette :drool:
 
Spotted a Corvette C5 yesterday but I was too busy to get any shots. Went back an hour later in the hope that it was still there, and got lucky.

And a few more from today:

Saw this 130i M Sport race car parked outside a repair centre on Tuesday, but only had a chance to get shots today:

Turns out it races in this year's BMWRDC KUMHO Championship. One of the team sponsors are based in my town.

And here's a bonus crappy shot since I couldn't get any closer with my phone. Three R35s in various states of repair:

Hey, I fixed it lol, Photobucket is being nice to me today =) Anyways, here is the car I was trying to show you all last time, i found it in the middle of the woods behind my girlfriends house. I am not sure what kind of car it is as you can see, it is in very bad shape. Through some not so intensive research, I feel like it is from the 50's because it lacks the flared fenders typical of cars from the 1940's. While looking through some pictures of old cars from the 50's, I felt it looked a lot like the 1952 Ford Mainline (Shown Below)

AWESOME! But that's no Ford. That a Chrysler product, or maybe a Packard.

One of the best looking bumper for R33

Because of the GReddy decal? :D
I bet he'll replace it with a BCNR33 (GT-R) bumper later.
Perhaps after he breaks his bumper and drives without it for some time. :)

Saw the insanely clean matte blue M3 today. I'm thinking this might be the new color of my car!

It looks quite similar to the M Performance edition.

These were sold in the U.K only though.

Can't be sure but it's probably an M3 Frozen Edition, US 'only', 1 of 150, Matte paint, matte black wheels, gloss black exterior trim, no CF exterior parts (aside from the roof of course), looks like the sport suspension etc.. thats my best guess anyhow.. not sure how much of that can be specified via BMW individual on a non-'edition' coupe.

Hmmm, possibly, ill have to look into that, I took a peek at some 50s chryslers during my research but that Ford was the closest thing I saw that looked like it. Ill have to take a better look at some old Packards as well. Its hard because its in such bad shape there's no telling features :/
 
Check out that line on the right rear fender, and try to find a car with a piece of chrome trim to match that :)
 
Too many things about that Regent look different than the car kartingkid posted. The front bumper, door handle position, chrome lines, roof line...


Still a good base guess, though.
 
The picture you edited in looks much more like that car than the Regent did.

Could it be a 1954 Dodge Coronet?

Based on my limited research, I'm pretty sure it's a 1954 Dodge, but I'm not sure what model.

Hmmm, that one looks pretty darn close as well. Its In such bad shape its hard to tell, but it seems we all agree its from the 50s, so that narrows it down a bit haha :)

Yes, it is a 54 Dodge and, as I said, a Chrysler product. But man is it beat up. Awesome spot 👍
Click to expand...

It sure is beat to hell, and pretty much scavenged to a carcass but it is a pretty neat find. Now the real question is how in the world did it get there, it's literally square in the middle of a protected park that has been there since 1929 (according to the historical society) and of course why would someone leave it just back in the woods like that? But that's not important, the more look at it the more it looks like the 54 dodge
 
One of the perks of living near a regional mall that has a Nordstrom's in it is that the car-spotting in the parking lot can be quite fruitful. Ergo, a Ferrari 360 Spider:
