Spring Spotting 2026

3/28/26 to 4/27/26

For the start of Spring, here are some of the classic and noteworthy vehicles we spotted during the season.

3/28/26: 1990 Acura Integra (David)

I wonder what the original color of this car was...

3/29/26: 2004 Saab 9-3 Aero (David)

Finished in the one year only color, Lime Yellow.

4/8/26: 1964 Ford Galaxie (David)

This is daily driven. Yes, even during the winter. See? Cars are meant to be driven!

4/8/26: 1977 Ford Mustang II (David)

Yeah, the kids are alright. This was being driven by a young driver, about our ages. It's great to see young enthusiasts driving cars nearly twice their age.

4/8/26: 1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA) (David)

This showed up in my neighborhood, and I'm happy to see it. It reminds me of a Miata I used to see around 2021, but has since gone AWOL. I'm glad to see another NA Miata local to me.

4/12/26: 1986 Honda Prelude (David)

This car was MINT. In addition to a flawless appearance, it featured original accessories, a standard transmission, and of course, pop up headlights. It could be yours for the sum of $8000! Imagine daily driving this!

4/12/26: 1957 Oldsmobile 88

She was gated off, so unfortunately I could not get better photos. Oh well! It’s a survivor condition Olds 88 out in the wild though, which has enough cool factor on its own.

I’m pretty impressed with the condition of this car, and I’d be inclined to know how it is mechanically.

As Sam would attest, seeing survivor sedans or “regular cars” of over half-century old cars is just as cool, if not cooler, as seeing restored examples of their more desirable counterparts.

4/13/26: Saab 900 Turbo SPG (David)

A nice example of a 900 SPG.

There are many colors to this car, but I love it. This is awesome.

Above: 4/16/26 - 1989 Volvo 740 GLE 16 Valve (David)

Yes, this a fairly uncommon Volvo 740 with a 16 valve motor. To my knowledge, it was a special option for the Volvo Red Block motor, only available on the higher end 740 and 940 models. Today, many enthusiasts seek to find these motors, as a 16v head grants more power and efficiency, especially when modifying a car for power. See Stu's Volvo 240.

Above: 4/16/26 - 1987 Ford Thunderbird (David)

A car ripped straight from the pages of my childhood. Growing up in the early 2000s, it wasn't uncommon to see a late '80s beater riding around town. 20 or so years later, they're a rare sight now, as the new cars from the 2000s have taken their place. But, when I do see an '80s beater, it brings a smile to my face. I'm glad this car has survived.

Above: 4/17/26 - 1995 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) (David)

What drew me to this Jeep were its rims. I don't think I've ever seen them before, or at least on an XJ series Jeep. I'm curious if they're factory or not.

4/26/26: 1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria P-72 (David)

Nothing special, just a casual ex-police car Crown Vic.

4/27/26: 1986 Nissan 300ZX (Z31) (David)

This was a special surprise when I pulled into work this morning.
