1966 Ford Ranchero

Among enthusiasts, the Chevy El Camino is the more popular car-truck. But I see a lot of Rancheros in Seattle.

1968 Chevrolet Chevy Van 90

GM introduced the first Chevy vans in 1961. That van was the Greenbrier: rear-engine, and air-cooled like a Volkswagen. 1964 was the first year for a front-engine design. For a Chevy product, I sure don't see these very often. I guess most were just driven to death. I like the five windows on the side. This is the one Chevrolet product with "Chevy" as part of the model name.

1952 Cadillac Series 62

GM introduced an all-new Cadillac in 1948, with a high-compression V-8 in 1949. By the 1950s, the technology in Caddys had left other luxury carmakers in the dust. Automatic transmission had already been available since 1941, now add to that wrap-around glass and power-everything by the mid-50s.
