Saw a DeLorean in person for the first time in my life today; they really are just bare metal. I at least thought it would have been treated somehow. must be a pain in the ass to clean.

Saw my first two Range Rover Evoques over the past two days, one gray, the other red. Very striking looking.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a 2012 Porsche 911 yesterday in black, the 2nd of the new 991 generation I've seen on the road..looks great.

[G. David Felt]

WOW, what a blind spot on that rear pillar of the Acura and I see they continue their bland, dull look on the outside.

Today saw a Envoy in the park and ride lot. White.

[GMTruckGuy74]

Bought our new puppy in Windsor, NJ on Sunday. After picking up the puppy I took a drive over to Perrine Buick-GMC (and Saab still, as he has a ton of Saab cars on the lot). Took numerous pictures of Sierras, but these two caught my eye (too bad I didn't win the Mega Millions lottery Friday night):

2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab 4wd's in Stealth Gray Metallic:

SLE

SLT

So, anybody want to buy me an early Easter gift?!?!?!

[caddycruiser]

New black 2013 Lincoln MKS, slightly dirty, PA tagged. Just cruising down the street. The new grille made me notice it, then as it passed...eh, same ole, same ole.

On a rough street in west Philly a little before that, a black Isuzu Ascender XL...the Isuzu Envoy with Trailblazer wheels, etc. Been a while.

[Lamar]

A couple of days ago, 2013 Taurus in white. Can't recall if it was a SHO or not, as I was only barely paying attention.

Also, today I saw a Mitsubishi Raider for the first time ever in life.

[!!!TED!!!]

That Nova is seriously clean, but I've got to complain about how much it looks like spring out there while I had to shovel my driveway yesterday.

[ocnblu]

Dark green 1980 Monte Carlo in good shape, driven by a young guy.

[G. David Felt]

Saw an old 50's era chrysler in my neighborhood that someone has in their front yard, will have to snap a photo and post for review.

[Robert Hall]

Saw 3 nice oldies this morning out on a sunny Saturday---two convertibles, tops down--a white on white '75-76 Eldorado, a yellow w/ white interior '73 Olds 88. Also saw a white '65 Mercury Monterey 4dr ht w/ dog dish hubcaps, first I've ever seen of that year/bodystyle, I think. All very clean shape.

Volvo P1800 (April 7, 2012)

I prefer the coupes but any P1800 is gorgeous in my opinion.

[Robert Hall]

That Volvo is sweet...can't recall the last time I saw a coupe or wagon P1800...

[cletus8269]

an HHR SS panel that unfortuanately got into a fender bender and an H1 wagon.

[SAmadei]

LOL, after posting in another thread that I hadn't seen a Chevy Beretta for years, one finally popped up. Light metallic Blue... in pretty nice shape. LOL.

[Lamar]

Volkswagen Type 3. First time I'd ever seen one, so I didn't know what it was and had to look it up.

[ocnblu]

Veloster in black. Best color I've seen on this car. The wild colors are just too trendy. Driven by a guy who looked around my age.

[Robert Hall]

Saw a red VW Type 3 fastback in clean shape, a clean white '67 Cougar, and a clean white '65 Mustang coupe this morning.

[pow]

I acquired a new-to-me GMC Denali today... probably not what you're thinking, though.

Hint: It fits in the back of my Focus.

[ocnblu]

Does it have a basket and a bell?

[caddycruiser]

Big silver Equus cruising down the street in south Philly. Older couple inside, going slowly.

Big stately car but nondescript, every once in a while I see one.

Veloster in black. Best color I've seen on this car. The wild colors are just too trendy. Driven by a guy who looked around my age.

Same here, just before following the Equus. I really, really like the look, size and package of the Veloster. Most colors except for red, green, etc. also look good.

[balthazar]

'63 Caddy CdV, sitting forlorn in a side yard. Now.... where was I when I saw it......?

[caddycruiser]

Cyber Gray brand new Volt driving back from Limerick yesterday afternoon. These things look great, especially in a color like CG.

Old, dusty red Datsun convertible (Fairlady?)

Clean British Racing Green MGB

Loud white 4th gen Camaro with the license plate CYALATR

Saw on Easter morning a 1981 white Cadillac Eldorado with a blue vinyl top. It was the V8-6-4 that gave away its age. It looks like it was in top condition. Two hours later, it was gone .

[GMTruckGuy74]

The guy I work with that I've posted a picture of his red '71 Caddy has brought his '61 Caddy convertible to work today. A crappy cell phone camera shot from his third floor office, for your enjoyment

*UPDATE*

I snapped a close-up shot when I left work yesterday:

Bright blue new Equinox, re-painted (definitely not just a wrap), with a construction company logo. Interesting move. Must be their specific color.
