1959 Chevrolet Parkwood and friends

The 1959 Chevy is a car that collectors either love or hate, with its distinctive "eyebrows" over the headlights and teardrop taillights. Personally, I think it's the ugliest car Chevy ever made. Few wagons of this era survived, especially as daily drivers like this one.

This car's owner also has a 1951 Chevy which may or may not be drivable. Next door to these cars is a very smart-looking 1961 Chevy C10 pickup that also appears to be an unrestored survivor. And just a couple of doors down is a GMC, possibly also a 1961. Too bad it's wrecked; the frame is probably too messed up for restoration.

1968 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Truck

 This post is a reader submission, and not actually in Seattle. But it's my blog and I'm making an exception. Note the wood bed. My father's '77 Chevy pickup had one. Apparently they were available as late as 1987.

1972 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Truck

Considered the most collectable series among Chevy truck enthusiasts, the 1967-72 C/K trucks are sometimes call the Glamour Pickups. The year after this good-looking truck was made, Chevy introduced the "rounded-line generation" which continued largely unchanged all the way through 1987.
