Rainy November day during pandemic
-
We were staring cabin fever right in the face, so my daughter and I took a road trip around St. Louis County looking for air cooled Porsches.
We swung by Daniel Schmidt & Co., Reid Vann, & Porsche STL intentionally, but managed to find a black 964 for sale at Lindbergh Motorsport.
Daniel Schmidt & Co., is a palace, but the 911s are low mileage examples & I need a driver.
We also say a very old, soft top G Wagen at a hooptie shop on Route 66.

Looks like a Old Pizza Hut?!?!

Oh, Volvo 1800! Derelict but still beautiful. G Wagen is an oldie too, probably imported.
-
That poor Volvo makes me sad....gorgeous cars...
-
@rallydarkstrike That's the kinda car project that would lead to a divorce!

That particular one maybe, yes, but I've only ever seen one P1800 coupe in person and it was stunning.....such pretty cars!
-
@rallydarkstrike Never seen an 1800 in person but I did see a stunning Amazon coupe in action once.
-
@WhoIsTheLeader I have seen an Amazon in person....sort-of!
Fun fact, the Amazons that were built at Volvo's now-defunct factory here in Nova Scotia in Halifax were renamed the 'Volvo Canadian' for the Canadian market! I've seen this one at the Nova Scotia Museum of Industry....it's stunning!https://museumofindustry.novascotia.ca/collections-research/automobiles/volvo-canadian

@rallydarkstrike Because it's Canadian, let's call it The Canadian! So original haha. Didn't know that but of trivia. They are gorgeous machines. The one I saw was white but I couldn't tell the interior color as it was driving alongside me on the interstate.
That museum sounds interesting. Have any photos from it?
-
Riding around with my daughter looking at cars while we do errands is one of the most important parts of my life. So many precious memories! I like seeing someone else making them too.

@WhoIsTheLeader Sadly, I've not been there for a long time, so I have no pics, but they have a lot on their website, it's a very cool place!
