Just got back from a quick four-day trip to San Antonio, TX, to hang out with my brother-in-law. While I was there, I enjoyed the eighty-degree temps and the Texas BBQ, and kept my eyes open for interesting automobiles. The temperate climate led me to incorrectly presume that I would find a large number of ten-to-twenty-year-old daily drivers, when in fact most Texans were motoring about in the latest and greatest. Each day of my visit I spotted multiple C8 Corvettes, Cybertrucks, and German SUVs. Of course, 65% of the vehicles on the road were pickup trucks. Another surprise: many of those pickups were Nissans and Toyotas (and yes, I know that Toyota has a factory in the state).

Still, I managed to snap a few interesting shots of interesting cars as you can see below.

The Brasserie Mon Chou Chou (“my darling”) had this darling Citroen Duex Cheveaux parked outside. No word on when it may have last moved under its own power.

Around the corner from the Mon Chou Chou was a chichi hotel, with this quartet positioned in reserved parking. In the foreground, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Next to it, a Range Rover, then the unmistakable CT. Almost out of sight at the far end was a plebeian Cadillac Escalade.

 

The Cullinan starts at $489,000 and goes up from there. But you know what they say: If you have to ask, ….

On the way to an event in Fredricksburg, we drove through Luckenbach, made famous by that country song. A decommissioned Chevy pickup was being used to attract visitors.

 

This International Scout pickup was spotted on the street in Fredricksburg.

 

Back in San Antonio, in the crowded parking lot of a seafood restaurant, some CT owner let his truck’s self-parking feature do its thing. Accurate, ain’t it?
