1966 Ford Mustang

This 66 Mustang is exceptional. From a distance it appears to be fully restored. but upon closer inspection, it's all original. It's powered by a 289 v8 with dual exhaust. That color is called Sauterne Gold. It's unusual to see a Mustang with spinner wheel covers parked on the street. Those wheel covers are quite valuable.

1990 Geo Prizm

By the end of the 80s, General Motors was finally producing a compact car that was reliable, handled well and that had a light yet relatively powerful engine. Not that GM had come up with any of that on its own of course; the Prizm was a copy of the Toyota Corolla, made in the California plant then co-owned by GM and Toyota and now owned by Tesla. So good job GM, but did you really need to create yet another nameplate (Geo) to sell this car? One of GM's biggest problems was that it already had too many divisions and thus too many management hierarchies.

Observations:
* I've see red cars with oxidized paint before, but this is extreme.
* "Prizm"? Come on, it sounds like "prison".

1975 Daihatsu Taft F10

No, the Taft was not named after America's fattest President. TAFT stands for Tough Almighty Fourwheeldrive Transport. This Taft was parked at one of the two (that I know of) used car lots in Seattle that specialize in Japanese cars designed for use in Japan. Daihatsu, a company owned by Toyota, made an effort to sell cars and SUVs in the US in the late 80s/early 90s. I have on occasion seen a Daihatsu Rocky on the streets, but I don't recall ever seeing a Charade (that car needs a better name).
