Magnolia is a very quiet residential neighborhood were folks can park a "someday I'll restore it" car on the street for years without any concern that something will happen to it. All the cars in this post were photographed in less than one square mile of territory near Lawton Park.
This rose pink 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood would be quite valuable if restored. But that's a big if.
This 1984 Dodge Ram looks almost brand new.
Little Dead Corvette. We finally found a use for the luggage rack: use it to store the driver's door panel.
The 1970s Chevy or Ford pickup we see on every block here, along with a "someday I'll restore it" 1979 International Scout II.
A car I'd really love to have. 1970 Chevy Malibu with 307 V8.
I hope the owner finishes the restoration of this very nice 1964 GMC. Also, a Chevy van from the glory days of American van culture.
1982 Mercedes 240D. These Benz diesels run forever.
1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero.
1989 Suzuki Carry. Another Seattleite joins the kei truck revolution.
These Chevy 3100 series pickups from the late 40s to mid-50s are now commanding five figures to buy even when they need complete restoration. This one is not the more desirable '5-window', but it has the valuable sun visor. I blogged that Falcon wagon when I saw it 4 years ago.
1979 MG. A blast to own if you have the genius needed to keep it running.
Someone has Frankensteined the hell out of this Beetle.
Hey, 1979 Chevy Camaro Z-28, why aren't you busy terrorizing a high school parking lot?
And finally just to give you an idea how many old cars are street stored on Gilman Ave W, here we have a Toyota Camry, Volvo 200 Series and a Dodge Ram van all from the 80s.
