Cazalea shares a captivating photo essay titled 'Old & Shiny, Part 1,' documenting an impromptu discovery of classic American cars in a rural neighborhood. The author's keen eye captures a range of vintage vehicles, from low-riders to meticulously maintained muscle cars, offering readers a visual journey through automotive history.

I took my wife out to lunch today at John's. our favorite fish & chips place.



While we were in that area, we decided to cross the tracks and go into a more rural neighborhood, looking for nice cars.

What we found BLUE ME AWAY!






I love the chains holding the rear axle so it won't come out when you go over a bump

















This nice 66-67 Chevy II Nova was right across from the low-high Cadillac











Two blocks away was a body shop. We saw nice cars inside and asked if we could come in with the camera. We were blown away again!
First this Chevelle Super Sport 396 about 1966-67 (50 years ago!)




Lurking on the other side of the drive was a 1957 Chevy Fuel Injection Coupe low rider.



Gorgeous! There were 3 guys polishing it but they jumped out of the way during the photos.





And look in the background - a Vette; in the foreground another 57!

















This yellow one is for sale - if you are interested contact me.





Outside next door we saw some Dagmar Bumpers and snuck this shot across the parking lot











Down the road a piece we saw this nice pair of Chevys - the pickup and the El Camino (are you watching, Bill?)







Here's a rare El Camino SS though not so shiny.






Another beautiful truck behind the gates ...





Another grinning Cadillac with giant kabumbas







I decided to cut this report into two. If you don't mind similar cars that aren't this shiny, please come along for the rest of the ride.

About the Automotive Ref. EB110

The Bugatti Tourbillon, introduced by Mate Rimac, represents a new chapter for the Bugatti marque. This model is positioned as a high-performance automotive art piece, succeeding previous Bugatti models. The name "Tourbillon" is inspired by tornadoes, reflecting its intended speed and power rather than a horological mechanism. It signifies a departure in naming convention while maintaining the brand's focus on extreme engineering and design. This reference marks a significant release under new leadership, aiming to redefine the ultra-luxury hypercar segment.

Details regarding the specific watch reference EB110 are not directly provided in the input text, which discusses an automobile. Therefore, watch-specific technical specifications such as case material, case dimensions, and movement type are not derivable from the provided text. The description focuses on the automotive product as presented in the input, which is a car named Bugatti Tourbillon.

For collectors, this reference, if it were a watch, would be relevant for its association with the Bugatti brand and its new direction under Rimac. Its appeal would lie in its connection to a significant automotive development, potentially attracting enthusiasts of both high-performance vehicles and luxury timepieces. Without specific watch details, its place within a horological collection would depend on its design and mechanical attributes, which are not detailed in the provided text.

Love the 1951 cadillac coupe in the last pic as well as the 1957/1958 convertible, also special mention to the 1967 ch'velle ss 396 and the nova which have been kept in their original shape. Not fan of the 1979 1981 caddy low rider, less fan of restored Bel airs which have been low riddered according to their wheels and tire size.
