An Oldsmobile from the 60's SCORE Baja racing, and a damn cool momento, a photo with James Garner















Found at the Mendenhall Museum http://www.mendenhallmuseum.com/ and for a look around see Tere's post http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/05/mendenhalls-gas-up-bbq.html

Olds Starfire, those tailfins under the bumper are one of a kind, named "Skegs" not unlike Dagmars as an unusual name for a car part


I had to guess at the manufacturer, until I noticed the oval gauges under the speedometer



Cool looking design, and good looking paint... nice all around

I looked to see what I had posted about this model Olds, and found that it's a Starfire, and the fins under the bumper are called Skegs: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/trivia.html

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

Olds ninety eight, huge continental kit bumper



Notice that just below the windshield is a top piece where the air conditioning vents are closed


Pretty cool looking tail light design

Nice cars that need a new home were scarce at the Big 3 this year

The 69 Camaro was up for grabs for 7500, tubbed, maybe back halved
