[...]Chevrolet - I can't remember what the emblem on it showed
https://i.imgur.com/7DYvfvnm.jpg

Apparently a short bed, meaning a ½-ton model. The emblem should then be 3100. 1951 only model, due to the 1947-51 door handle and the 1951+ door vent window.

[...]Chevrolet Suburban (year range?)

@rjluna2: The vertical black parts in the egg-crate grille could also indicate a 1970 model :wink:

When I looked through my pictures on my phone, I found a few interesting and rare vehicles, although not many yet. But I wanted to show them here ...

Opel Speedster, here in Bayreuth, Bavaria in May 2016.
https://preview.ibb.co/k0LYm9/speedster.jpg

An old-looking van, maybe made by Asquith, near the London Eye in November 2017.
https://preview.ibb.co/eoN4R9/agnus.jpg

My alltime favourite but rare van: 2003 (by plate) Renault Avantime. Here at a beach in Mallorca 2018.
https://preview.ibb.co/bXjOKU/avantime.jpg

US Army AM General HMMWV M1037 on a German highway this September.
https://preview.ibb.co/bZJYKU/hummer.jpg

Mercedes-Benz 280 S [W108] in the Spree Forest last week.
https://preview.ibb.co/bxb669/sklasse.jpg

And today: Toyota Carina E [T190] in my home town. Nowadays rare here.

i always go to this website www.bilgalleri.dk when i look for interesting cars as a second choice to this. It a danish website where you upload videos and pictures of cars. I call it my univers of cars and i always spend too much time looking for cars i've ever even dreamed of.

Yes it is. It has now entered production. I've seen one in London last month.

Impressions of Tallinn. Strangely, US-spec Japanese cars seem to be extremely popular in Estonia, even more so than US gray imports. So SEAL Team's depiction of Tallinn wasn't all that inaccurate.
(I'm lying, it was completely laughable in Estonian eyes:

Last Friday, on my way to the office, I've spotted in the oncoming traffic on the A31 a fully camouflaged Mercedes-prototype.
By shape and size I'd say, it was the successor of the GLC.

Been a while since my last installment of DashCam sightings. Here's some of the best from the past several months in chronological order.

2016 BMW i8 with what I assume is a wrap, red with blue wheels (license plate I8MYPAY):

Suzuki Swift hatchback near Pittsburgh, always rarer than the Geo/Chevrolet version in the States:

This is one of my favorites from this batch. Chevrolet Silverado tuned by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. As far as I can tell, this is a one-of-a-kind truck that was displayed at SEMA in 2015 and sold at a Mecum auction in 2016: https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0516-243445/2014-chevrolet-silverado-high-country/ - the bumpers, wheels, colors, decals all match. Today it's a contractor's work truck:

There was a 1976 Pontiac Astre for sale in Atlantic City at the Classic Car Auction this weekend. Can't believe there is another survivor out there. It was a sedan as well, in white. (I'm still sorting pics, but I'll post later)

There was a Figaro there as well!

today I spotted a camouflaged BMW Cabriolet just in front of my office. The traffic lights became green too fast, so a pic failed.

No idea about the model, maybe a 6er? It looked bigger than a 3er.

Judging by the sliding side door, this was made from 1972-74.

Remember that flashback on the episode of "New Girl" where Jess was approached by a sleazy looking guy in a van as a kid, and it turned out to be legitimate?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4LZCyUg6IU

BTW, I know somebody who actually put tailfins on a Pontiac Astre.
