Been trying to get a decent shot of this CJ-6 for weeks but the entire front of the property is trees. Maybe they are trying to keep me from seeing it, I don't know.

Looks like a great start to a long wheelbase jeep project.
 
I bought one of those for a hundred bucks to drive in college during the winter in Youngstown. I could never decide if I liked the style of it after having a few Monte Carlo's and a Cutlass. I just never felt that Pontiac hit the mark with their attempt on that platform. But that sumbtich didn't give me any trouble in the snow and I didn't care if the salt made it rust. It was a piece of shit with an engine that would start, brakes that stopped, and a heater that worked.
 
Car show yesterday

I saw all of these in Cañon City this week.

65 Comet.. always a fan of this year.

As a 15 year old kid walking home from a PT job i'd pass by a dealership with a red convertible, Cragar SS wheels and the period correct yellow traction bars. I wanted that damn thing bad.. sold it a week before i had saved half in a deal with my parents. Summer of 77.

It sits in front of a hot rod shop down there in Cañon City.
 
This was at what I call Fort Apocolypse, which is across highway 9 from what used to be and is still on maps as Garo, Colorado between Hartsel and Fairplay.

That's a very nice drive, I always enjoy it. I always hear "Rocky Mountain High" in my head and I ain't even a John Denver fan.
