Is it just me or are there more classic, old school and muscle cars on the streets nowadays?
Just in front of where i work is a red 72 240z na mukhang ginagamit pang color code kasi once a week siya naka park sa slot niya. it just showed up 6 months ago.
Beetles alone make up for a lot of sightings.
A few weeks back may tumabi sa akin na 67-68 camaro convertible na black sa buendia stoplight. as well as a TR2 and TR4 on separate occasions. MGs, alfas, the list is endless. And last saturday nga lang i was on NLEX with a fellow tsikoteer at may nakita siyang 63-67 Vette racing past us. Tinuro nga sa akin.
Another tsikoteer was sending mms's from Baguio last new year of his sightings. May impala, mustang and a convertible...nova i think?
Anyway, before i left the country the only real classics would be at the transhows or motorshows...now they seem to be driven units used for more than just the weekend jaunt. Kasi i see them on normal workdays din.
Is the "old school" car movement gathering speed?Last edited by midinite; January 8th, 2007 at 01:51 PM.

Definitely. I saw a shop full of restored VW beetles while walking along v. luna in qc the other day. When I took a peek inside, I saw a porsche spyder (i assume it was a replica). I wanted to go in for a closer look but chickened out hehe. Ill prolly take a closer look sometime this week when I pass by that area again.
Even if we check the classifieds, old school is definitely making a comeback, from old american iron to old school japanese and euro.Last edited by Chip; January 10th, 2007 at 12:19 PM. Reason: spell check

Dito sa province namin, there's a 60's (i think) na black ThunderBird roving around even on regular days.
Another keeper seen around here is the mustard yellow VW Combi, completely restored with original hubcaps, white sidewalls and spare tire sa front!
Oh they're making a comeback alright. They're here to stay

dito sa Dubai medyo malimit na lang kasi halos lahat bago yung sasakyan.
, nevertheless somewhere may nakaparada
A Jaguar Classic. I'm confused of the model. But me thinks it was an E-type model. a real classicLast edited by ian_rex; January 14th, 2007 at 04:37 PM.

June 23rd, 2009 03:01 PM #10My daily drive is 80-90% restored 1983 Corolla GL. It was the first (2nd hand) car I bought with my own money and I really take care of it more than I take care of my "97 Civic. I work in an ad agency somewhere near Gbelt and I used to park along Salcedo (I now park in MCS kasi it's cheaper :D). I like driving it kasi wala siya masyadong kapatid unlike my Honda na andaming relatives sa roads kahit saan ka lumingon. :D
As expected, in response to Tesla’s entry into the Philippines market, Ford will be bringing in the...
