This is pretty clever, they grafted a Airstream Bambi to a 31 foot Airstream Excella (some limited edition Airstream variant)

Chris Pine has a restored 65 Airstream on his LA front yard, and a small collection of cars... but I didn't know his dad was the Sgt on CHiPs

Gremlin towing an Airstream

Camp Wandawega... you're probably not going to believe this 1960's summer camp time capsule.... was founded in 1925 as a speakeasy/brothel/weekend destination for Chicagoans, and now looks like Martha Stewart and Crate and Barrel were liberally spread throughout the camp

these are legit Girl Scout Cabins, saved from a scout camp that closed nearby

Tucked away on the shore of ‘a little lake that no one has ever heard of’ in southeastern Wisconsin, Camp Wandawega has seen it all: from bootleggers to bad cops, priests to prostitutes, hippies to hipsters, as well as flappers, fanatics, and families on vacation.

Though started at Hotel Wandewega in 1925 to make a speakeasy with trap doors, hidden rooms, etc, by 1961 it was bought by Latvian priests (I am not making that up) who escaped the Soviet Union. They made this their retirement home and Latvian Summer Church Camp

ALUMINATION, the Airstream documentary

In 1929 Airstream founder Wally Byam built his first travel trailer in the backyard of his California home. Nearly a century later Airstream continues as the oldest travel trailer company in the United States and an iconic brand. For many, the word "Airstream" signifies more than just the image of an aerodynamic silver bullet gliding down the highway; it also evokes the spirit of innovation, adventure, resilience, and dynamism. Byam didn't just create a tool for travel — he created a blueprint for modern nomadic living.

I wonder how many Airstreams are now permanent bnb rentals?

call me crazy, but this 24 foot Airstream would be a sweet way to camp, roadtrip, tour national parks, etc.

interesting painted Avion, but, I get it... polishing a trailer must get annoying if you're constantly on the road. Paint gets washed and looks great real fast

the Autocamp chain of luxury campgrounds that uses Airstream trailers as hotel rooms is nearly doubling its locations in 2023, by opening four sites in North Carolina, Texas, California, and Utah

Autocamp currently operates five locations in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Catskills, New York, and California's Joshua Tree, Russian River, and Yosemite.

the beauty of a restored Westcraft, Spartan, Airstream, or Airfloat trailer, the results of Flyte Camp, an Oregon trailer-restoration company that turns rusted hulks into works of art

This is the company that restored the Holiday Geographic X that was at Art Center College in Pasadena https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/10/i-finally-was-able-to-see-1961-holiday.html

very little seen on today's 30 minute walk. Some neighborhoods just don't have anything interesting.

I bet this big Airstream is REALLY nice inside. Must have cost about 190,000 https://www.airstream.com/travel-trailers/classic/ it's the "classic" model, 30-33 feet long

this is what 4 to 5 years of sitting in the same place without moving looks like. Notice the tires are starting to sag. From the tree and shrub in the background, you can see it hasn't moved

I think we can agree this is abandoned, but, not where any police give a shit

I didn't even know Chevy made step sides back then

Seen on tonight's walk, far more Rancheros and Mustangs than I would expect in just a one hour walk.

most days on a walk I find one car that makes the entire hour walking worth the effort. This Olds Vista Cruiser was the one for today. Sure, that is a 50s Buick under the car cover. So? Means less than nothing next to this Oldsmobile wagon! I just dig it. 

he was doing a lot of body work to it. Been right there since before 2009

this Mustang used to have a cool van for company, from before 2009 to 2019

Both of these 70 Mustangs have ugly damn rims and hub caps. The above are hub caps, and a sin against cars. 

This one stumps me... but it qualifies as today's "what's under the car cover"

this Elk has been there a couple years, here's what it looked like before the car cover:

and here's what the Ranchero looks like without the car cover:

I ask, not knowing the answer... why is this on blocks, with flat tires, that are aged until dry rotted? 

I can only guess that it's to prevent the car from being stolen. But, if there is this much concern about it getting stolen, why not store it in the garage they will never open and use, as, they certainly prevent the use of the garage by having a car in front of it. 

there used to be a time when Honda made small cars, that were fun. The CRX and Del Sol, and the 2000. I don't think (and I am possibly wrong as I don't pay much attention to new cars) they make small cars for sale in the USA anymore, unless maybe the 170,000 dollar NSX. 

Fenced off lot with 4 or 5 old trucks, old Chevy trucks. 

This has been there about a dozen years and the shrubs have grown to shoulder height. 

Is this one unusual license plate? Seems very weird to have JKLMN on it, and it's the rarely seen 1990 Olympic design. I can't recall seeing one like this in forever.

Mining yard art! 

Been in the driveway blocking the garage door a LONG time, plates expired 18 years ago

I do not recall when I last saw a Jeep truck of this era. It's a Commanche, right? 

Sidewalk art! Love it! 

Pac Man AND dinosaurs? ! Sweet! 

Well, I guess this ain't the strangest thing I've seen in a parked car

there are so many abandoned cars in this neighborhood... look at the water stains on this flat tire.
