That's cool. Usually every sat night during the summer you will see cars Cruising downtown
past the Parliament buildings and past the Cruise ship terminal. Also Great Show town, Duece day held downtown
every three years, next on is July 17-20th 2025. Lots of other shows as well.
I always enjoy seeing the old iron when I go out west to British California. We have relatives around Seattle and our kid works in Vancouver B.C.
The late, lamented Don Earnshaw lived on Vancouver Island and had a '67 Beaumont SD396 coupe since new.
While in Vancouver just while having lunch at a restaurant I'd see an original paint '69 Fairlane, then a '64 Parisienne Custom Sport convertible, then maybe a Datsun 510.
A bunch of years back when in Seattle to visit relatives, as we drove around I would see different El Caminos every day, literally dozens. Some were worn out, some were being restored. One town had a pair of '67 El Caminos with 396s, then a '66 Caprice a 1/4 mile up, and as I parked I saw a MINT all stock '67 Chevelle 300 post for sale. As I walked over to take a look as the rest of the troupe moved on, a mint '67 Mercury Comet Villager wagon drives by. To me that is heaven.
The coolest was in Atlanta back in 1984. We exited the highway beside a mint, unrestored 1965 Pontiac 2+2 with a 421, gleaming white with bright red buckets, whitewalls & wheel covers. An elderly gentleman in a suit was driving. We asked if he wanted to sell and he just smiled.

Living in /around this city (Victoria) and being a truck driver gives you the best perspective!. Being in a commercial truck gives you a 3 foot height advantage! You can see over fences that normal motorists can't. I have a log {in my brain} of vehicles that I seen over the years driving around the Island. Some...I have knocked on doors, other's I waited to go back and gone. Most...will fix it one day...
