I was in the City of El Cajon this moring for a business meeting. Every Wednesday from now until the end of Summer they have an old car cruise night. Today was the first of these events for the year. These guys were there in the morning staking out their parking spaces both for their cars and themselves. I stopped to have a quick look at their cars.
I suggest you don't ask the gentleman on the right any questions about his car. You will be there much, much longer than you could have ever imagined.
Been 30 years now since I left SD (what was I thinking ), but I definitely remember the Saturday night cruises. Usually followed by some "outlaw" action. Heck, those guys were probably part of those Saturday nights back in the 80's / 90's.

The sign says something to the effect (if you could upload a higher resolution image and let me know the link, I could do verbatim translation. On my desktop, the first line is not very legible/sharp):

But really, how could Steve leave us hanging like that? What was the car?
Ok, ok. It was an early 1960s Chevy Impala Super Sport. Beautifully restored I will say. The story of how it came to him started when he was a young boy on his Uncles farm back in the 1960s and slowed down from there...

Hi jigesh, thanks so much for your help, it's much appreciated. I've posted a link below to a larger version of the sign, but unfortunately the entire image is a crop with shallow DOF so I'm not sure it will help much.
Love this Matt! I need to dig up some old negatives and see what they look like these days. I was stationed at Whidbey Island. I loved making this drive on the 20 and seeing the big fields. Love seeing this now.

Thanks Michael, yeah...we make sure to get up that way a couple times a year. Snow Geese are migrating too, such a cool spot.
