Antique Ladder Truck.
Antique Ladder Truck.
Would you believe that
this is a "Supra?" No, not a Toyota Supra. This is a Subaru
Supra, a tiny pickup truck. It's smaller than you would think from the photo...
bigger than a golf cart, but nowhere near as large as a Honda Civic. The
bed is very low, so I'm sure it was easy to load cargo for hauling around busy
Japanese streets.
Yamaha had just
introduced the Road Star. Looking at it, you'd call it a Harley Davidson
wannabe, but it's really a magnificent motorcycle.
Acura NSX (That's
a Honda NSX if you aren't in the U.S.)
BMW M3
BMW Z3, 4-cylinder 
BMW Z3, 6-cylinder 
Buick Regal GS
Cadillac Catera
(manufactured by Opel, General Motors' German affiliate.)
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS, 30th Anniversary
Edition 
The new-for-1997 5th generation Chevrolet Corvette.
Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Chrysler Sebring JX, now referred to as the Chrysler Sebring Convertible.
Dodge concept vehicle -- pickup truck. I can't remember what they called
it.
Dodge Dakota pickup
Before you could buy
one! The 1998 Dodge Durango.
The "other"
American sports car, the Dodge Viper. Chevy, of course, has the Corvette.
How about it Ford? Another competitor in this class sure would be fun!
Redesigned Ford Escort...
but no longer in production a couple of years later.
Ford F-150. Why
did I take this picture? I think this more aerodynamic model was new that
year.
GMC Sonoma. The best looking small pickup.
The Hyundai Tiburon.
Neat looking little car, just needs more power and better handling to live up
to its looks.
The Jaguar XK8 Convertible. Okay, so Ford does have a sports car... but
it's made in England.
Jeep Dakar concept vehicle. This is the old Cherokee with cosmetic changes.
I think it looks pretty neat... they should produce it this way. It even
had spare fuel tanks mounted to the rear.
Kia Sephia... a tiny little car.
Land Rover Discovery.
This was a modified Mazda MX-5 (Miata).
It had wide tires and major engine modifications.
Mercedes Benz SL
Mercedes Benz SLK Kompressor. "Kompressor"
is German for "Turbocharger." Neat, quick little car, but too much
emphasis on luxury and not enough on sport.
Oldsmobile Intrigue 
Cutlass 
, and Aurora 
Plymouth Prowler...
now I guess they'll be "Chrysler Prowlers."
Pontiac Grand Prix 
and Montana
There were a lot
of people around this Porsche Boxster all of the time... it was hard to get
the picture. I think I took one and then got the other one later.
Volkswagen Golf
4th
generation Toyota Supra. This car was last imported to the U.S. in 1998.
Photo is severely underexposed.
