      (Yes, I know it's Monday for most of us, but I'll be traveling to a cabin with no wifi in the middle of nowhere tomorrow, so I'm leaning on the fact that pip bip and the rest of the Oceania crew, awake or not, is experiencing Tuesday by now.)

      First up, a beautiful Chevrolet Bel Air. I'm having a hard time finding any information online about the Chevy crest used as the hood emblem for this; was this specific to the Bel Air or used for other models during that era? Any idea of its origin?

      More Chevy, this time a 1979 Bonanza, single (family) owner, only 25k miles, with 30k pricetag.

      A little less ostentatiously classic, but nearer and dearer to my heart, a 1996 Cherokee with rebuilt title which I'm going to have to talk myself out of checking out this week.

      More Jeep! Tri-tone CJ-7 Renegade in excellent condition.

      This classic American coupe, I have to admit, leaves my heart a little a-flutter. 1973 Buick Riviera.

      This one, I admit, isn't really two-tone, but I'm absolutely digging the red interior, and of course I'm all about them manual convertibles. 1965 Sunbeam Tiger for a spendy $61k.

      Even spendier, this 1969 Camaro will set you back $85k.

      I'm counting patina for this multi-tone franken-truck. I placed it after the Camaro so $10k sounds more reasonable.

      For a more traditional truck, this 1956 International needs a wee bit of bodywork but can be had for much cheaper.

      Our first Ford, a 1951 Crown Victoria which needs better photos and to go on BaT ASAP.

      Don't you gimme no Buick...Son you must take my word if there's a God in Heaven, He's got a tri-tone Thunderbird.

      https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/finly-1976-thunderbird/7219415121.html

      But if you do prefer a Buick, this Electra Convertible is LOADED (emphasis seller's). No photos of the power top up, but it's white, so I'm counting it.

      https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/d/fort-wayne-1960-buick-electra-225/7231821023.html

      I'm thinking this ‘67 Olds has a 2º departure angle.

      And last but definitely not least, I know we have some El Camino fans in the audience, and this seems pretty cheap to me, although there's a long list of flaws (but nice to see a seller actually list them).

          Updoots? That's a new one to me.

            When you push the thing to make the number go up and the stuff does things. (post recommended)

            In seriousness, I think the term comes from Reddit. Eurgh.

              @just-jeepin I just searched toe tone on CL and also found one of those Yellow and Godl T Birds. I kinda love it A944429F-E436-47A2-8D8B-1340927E90A8.jpeg https://duluth.craigslist.org/cto/d/duluth-1976-ford-thunderbird-special/7235242077.html

                  One of the reasons I wanted my first car to be a Volvo XC70 or a sub-2010 Subaru Outback was because of the plastics, which gave them a rugged, two-tone look.

                  All of these are lovely examples. I gotta move to Indianapolis, you've got all the cool cars.

                  UPDATE: just popped on FL Craigslist and found this two-tone oddball

                    @taylor-martin Hah, no, the PNW has all the cool cars. Search CL in Washington and weep.

                      Looks to be the same on the new one too.
