It is wild how quickly Saturns became rare sight.
Miata!
May be cheating because of C&C, but not something I expected to see in Dayton OH.
File this under “Did I just see what I think I saw?”
Black E30 M3 convertible heading north on I-95.
And notice something missing from the E30 M3 convertible–well, in addition to the roof.
No wing.
Just sharing because these have been catching my eye lately.
Mazda RX-8 (still running) down here in Florida with Wisconsin plates.
The kicker: I saw the same car the next day. Or, oddly, we have two silver RX-8s in town wearing the same plate.
OPEL van RV conversion with Austrian plates in Page AZ
And check this out: E30 BMW convertible with a hardtop.
Conversation in the car: “JG, speed up! I need to get a photo.”

For the car above. I always picture someone walking out of the parts dept carrying a replacement quarter panel then taking flight on a windy day.

Good news! All production Superbirds had vinyl roofs. They had a fiberglass plug to reshape the rear window area for aerodynamics, and it was quicker and cheaper to hide their sins with vinyl than to do a bunch of bodywork and paint them.
And although there are likely none left, it wasn’t that uncommon to every now and then find a ‘70 Roadrunner with the roof treatment. It was a dead giveaway that it started life as a Superbird. Dealers converted them back to pedestrian RR’s because they couldn’t sell them. They didn’t bother with the roof though.
The roof comments are very interesting. I always wondered why Superbirds had a vinyl roof, it just didn’t seem to go with the rest of the car. Now I know! Thanks guys.

Judging by the size and shape of the side markers to narrow down the year, and the shape of the bumpers and side crease, it is a '69 Chrysler Newport
Maaaybe a New Yorker, but for sure a '69 Chrysler C-body.
I nearly dropped my oliebollen trying to get the phone out for this one. Always liked the Fox T-birds, but hardly even see them much in the States anymore. Says LX on the back, does the dual exhaust always mean 5.0?

Way to bring the obscure-model ID skilz. I looked at the original shot and can barely see the New Yorker badge on the C pillar, near the quarter window.
