Some of you guys read the Classic cars Yesterdays heroes forum. They have a car spotters page which features the odd American car, so I thought maybe we could have a dedicated page here ?
I'll go first, spotted last night in Maidenhead. had a chat with the owner, its a 51 on air ride with a small block Chevy and the front bumper of a 'caddy apparently !

Yep, looks like a '52 Caddy front bumper.

Look at the sidewalls on those tires. You know it rides like riding on marshmallows. I miss high profile tires :-)

Don't miss 'em squealing like a 'stuck pig' when cornering and braking aggresively though.......

Spotted this Chevy when driving down Loch Fyne today. The gear on the roof is Ghostbusters tools.

I'm Game!

Saw this 37 Lincoln Zephyr in a Village near Basingstoke last week.

Not often you see a Yank with a V12

I saw a red 1942 Hudson last week. I remembered the number plate and did a check to find out what it was, otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue. Looked in great condition as well.

A visitor to my place of work rocked up in this today.
I haven't had a chance to have a chat with him yet.

Made my morning biggrin

Spotted in Taplow, near Maidenhead yesterday.
Lots of "Patina" biggrin

I'm glad to see cars like this out and about.
I'd happily own/drive a car like this. Would get period correct wheels and just keep it mechanically tip top.
