Here is the last Modernism Week classic car show post.
A rare, underappreciated second generation turbocharged Corvair Monza convertible is parked behind a terrific Healey.
A 1959 Citroen DS in light tan with a maroon interior.
An aqua mid-60s first generation Pontiac Grand Prix, license plate "Aquanet."
And a Studebaker Hawk.

I just have a few more posts from the Modernism Week classic car show, held Monday in Palm Springs.
A senior Ford Exec was a member of Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, and took the name for their new sport roadster in 1955.
The dark turquoise "bullet bird" shown here is a 1961, with the new-for-61 swing away steering wheel.
There was also a lovely yellow 62,. And a 55 or 56 black two-seater.
More Palm Springs Modernism Week classic car show: a couple of great Fords.
We were a Ford family, We had a 55 Ford wagon, then a 58 Country Squire, then I learned to drive in our Guardsman Blue1964 Galaxie 500 XL four-door hardtop and our white 1965 Custom four-door sedan. So this 1964 Country Squire and 1965 Galaxie 500 convertible are both close to my heart.

More from the Palm Springs Modernism Week classic car show.
This beautiful 1960 Lincoln convertible is a near-twin of the 1958 model Eva Marie Saint drove in Hitchcock's North By Northwest. The guy in the maroon t-shirt is my husband, Craig.

Yesterday I promised more photos from the Palm Springs Modernism Week classic car show.
Yesterday when we were driving to breakfast, there was an old white roadster a few cars back, and I wracked my brain trying to place it. Turns out, it was in the car show later in the day, and it's a very rare 1967 Ghia/Chrysler:

Here is another great car just parked among the SUVs, Corollas, Teslas, and other everyday automotive detritus during Palm Springs Modernism Week.
Spotted when we went to breakfast.
We just finished seeing the Palm Springs Modernism Week classic car show. Lots more photos soon, but TL;DR, it was groovy!
This is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, so we get to see even more classic cars than usual.
Leaving brunch just now, this lovely 62 Lincoln Continental was in the parking lot. One of my favorite cars of all time.
