Tony is right about the Rabbit, but what do you think that murky green boxy car on the left is? It looked Fiat/Lada-ish to me, but no models seem to match up exactly. Hmmm...

I'm partial to that old Yamaha. Had one just like it back in the day.
Bet you wouldn't recognize that part of Vancouver now....

Apparently the "BOWMAC" sign is still there as it has heritage status. Has been there since 1958, was once the tallest sign in North America, and is one of the last remains of Vancouver's neon era. When originally in operation, the sign featured both red neon, and thousands of incandescent lights, and was visible from 18 miles away! At 80 feet high, it was hard to miss. They should light that baby up again someday!

Tony figured it out!  1973 Fiat 124 Special. Anybody ever seen one of those in real life??? Bet the rust bug found those extra tasty... |

There were lots of Fiats around when I was younger and still living in the UK. The one in the picture is actually a UK plate 1994 or 5 year and right hand drive. And Volktales is correct they were rust buckets along with Alfa Romeo's, Datsun's Peugeot's etc
