I’ve Never Seen One Like This Before

I don’t think this was a custom car but I have never seen one of these before. I took this picture in the town of Nappa California one July afternoon. The Volvo is a classic PV444/544 that was manufactured from 1947 until the mid 1960s.
I would appreciate any information you can supply about this truck; What model, what year etc?

An American Car From England

In 1954 American Motors introduced a neat little car called the Metropolitan. It was developed by surveying customers as to what they wanted in a small commuter car. The rest of the industry in America was making cars bigger and bigger. American Motors decided to go the other way. The car survived until 1962 when production ceased.

I’m not sure what year this one is.

One Early Compact Car (1961 Custom Hardtop)

I’m guessing that this Rambler first appeared in 1957 or 1958. It was a classic for its time. It was small compact and, relatively speaking, economical. But gas was cheap and sales were low. This was taken a few blocks from my house.

From the rear it looks like this.

What year is the car?

It All Started One Day In 2001

I started taking pictures in 2001 with my newly purchased Canon G1 camera. I was working in the city (San Franciso) and walking to work every day. This gave me about 1.5 hours/day to take some pictures as I walked. This “Bug Eyed” Sprite was one of the first of the series, now known as “Cars You Don’t See Every Day”.
