Holy [insert censored image], is this a DB5 DHC?

He’s a regular at a local country club. Ive seen him a few times.

Yeah I was also absolutely stunned when i saw this, I even chased after it with my bike to get a closer look, but had no chance😅
Pininfarina is my favourite coachbuilder and this car especially is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced in my opinion, totally underrated.

Here's a great article about the significance of the Flaminia’s design:

Pininfarina's Revolutionary Florida: The Most Influential Automotive Design Since 1955 - Curbside Classic

This is what I saw today, a late ‘50s/early ‘60s Volvo PV445.

This is what I saw today, a late ‘50s/early ‘60s Volvo PV444.

I actually 🤓 think it is a PV445 ”Duett”, since it is the estate/commercial version!

These are pretty I guess, haven’t seen one before

Thanks, that was a very interesting read. As I’m a fan of the Flaminia Coupe, it will come as no surprise that the Florida is also one of my favorite Prototypes😀, it’s design is as close as it gets to something I would call as perfection imo.
But I didn’t knew how influential and what a milestone it was for automotive design, now I know, thanks👌

Fun Fact: Pininfarina used the Florida Sedan as his everyday car till his death!

I would never argue with a Swede when it comes to identifying classic Volvos. Corrected. Thank you.

The privileges of being the boss. I didn’t know that. Very cool.

Few more spots the season is almost done. Gtr was parked at my hotel for the Woodward dream cruise. Got a photoshoot with a la Ferrari after a show and the Hamilton collection came by with some of their hypercars. Plus a few random spots.

Wow, never seen a real Urus before. I'm shocked...

They are actually a pretty common sight where I live. Aventador‘s on the other hand are very rare.

Biscayne or Impala? If this is a Biscayne, that’s dope. Last time I saw one was around my block when I lived in the projects, back in the early nineties. Excellent condition, black with red interior. Hindsight for all the classics people around my way used to own and what joy they’d be to have today.

I couldn’t tell when it drove by. Didn’t see badge.

Dodge Charger with wild paint. It said “392 Hemi” on the side but I’m not sure if I believe it. Look at how poorly the numbers are lined up.

Ah the SM, such a beautiful car, and the perfect color for it👌

Btw, can I ask where do you live?
Because I noticed the SM has a license plate from Wesel, that’s my home region!

That's a lot of smog.... Did it pass ?

Not smog but low-end zoomed-in cellphone camera (and I assume the Viper did, I ended up on an extension)
