@sherwoodseo @CLVS350 Absolutely! If the salt of the sea doesn't get to it, it's gonna be kept for many years

I found quite a rare machine on European shores! This Pontiac Sunfire is a early model, with the smooth front bumper, and seems to be in quite nice shape in this Portuguese beach town

@CarsOfGMaps Purple on gold is a dream honestly

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

@CLVS350 Absolutely! I can't check the plate to see if it was imported at the time or a more recent arrival, but it looks spotless, definitely from someone who loves the thing a lot

@RevDWC Google Maps absolutely loves the six-wheelers!

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

Today I have a very interesting set of "regular" German cars with a twist! The brand new 6x6 VW Golf is inspired by military vehicles with 4-wheel-steering, the A3 Limousine in a very discreet colour and a 3-Series Touring that's absolutely slammed on 7-Series wheels!

F1 cars are quite rare in Street View for obvious reasons, so this Alpine took me by surprise in an event in Tuscany, Italy.

It appears to be a A521, the 2021 challenger after the change from Renault, alongside the road A110.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

This is the first Corvette C8 I post, but look at the size of that rear wing!

It looks to be a sort of trackday-spec, complete with Corvette Racing-inspired livery, an overall very nice build in Santa Ana, Califórnia

Bonus R8 (with a carboon hood) x GT3 combo

@TanakaDrifters Absolutely! It's a time capsule

Have you ever seen a six-wheeled Nissan 300ZX? Me neither, but sometimes Google Maps image stitching provides some gems

This example in Portugal seems to be in fairly nice stock condition

Today's very random spot is this intensely brown E60 5-Series from a small town in Albania. Under the sun, it actually has a pretty nice shine. The sort of color you would expect from a Rolls-Royce, perhaps

A bonus W123 workhorse in a lovely shade of green

@Leon_JHK He must have a lot of stories to tell!

Today I bring you a Volvo S60. That wouldn't normally be worthy of a post, except this one.... is an Island

This swedish sedan sits on a lake, and has become a tourist attraction in Ottawa, Illinois.

What car would you put on an island if you could?

@superakibo Upon further research you are correct! I just got my early 2000s Volvo sedans mixed, thank you!

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

That being said, new post tomorrow, and it's a... wild one

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

I haven't been able to post as regularly as I would like, but I might start to post some of the oddities that I find while searching for cars, just as filler.

To start, here's a pub in Ireland with an insane artwork on the wall

The detail is.... incredible.

I will never stop loving the Renault Avantime for what it represents, a car that doesn't make "sense" and yet it's so cool

As luck would have it, they snow-covered example is a couple of streets away from the Beatle George Harrison's birthplace in Liverpool!

A few more random spots from the previous post's location, a very odd selection

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

Of all the places to find a Citroen 2CV AK van, Los Angeles is the last one i would think about. But this lovely example is shining around some curious and quirky machines to match it's own

@taygunho That's absolutely perfect, I love a classic racing livery on a road car!

The abarths really work well with them

[Street View Cars @Cars_SV]

This VW Golf (presumably a GTI?) features a very... interesting wrap with even a wrapped logo on the rear. All those stickers must add a lot of horsepower!
