I see the elusive VW Vanagon from [censored] in the 1st 2 pics.

Those should be in the top 5 worst cars ever.

Looks like it could be this:

Morris J4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_J4

The example in wikipedia looks like it's a caravan conversion, but the body looks the same.

I've seen plenty of 2CVs around here but never a cabriolet. Fiats are not that uncommon but that van is certainly odd.

Folks that drive/collect those cars are a special breed.

All pictures were taken within 15 minutes. There must have been a car meet in the area. I also saw an Isetta, but it escaped me.

I don't think these guys would agree. They are about a mile form me and always have 20-30 "westys" for sale.

The Isetta was splitting lanes!

Wow this is a fairly rare sighting, you had the camera at the right place at the right time. I've never seen those cars before. The Fiat has those opposite opening door style, interesting. This looks likes its across the Golden Gate over in Marin.

The red Fiat has the old California license plate, black with yellow lettering. Probably from the 60s. The Citroen has the newer California plate, white with blue letter and California in cursive which is the current design.

It saw those cars on HWY 1 between Half Moon Bay and Pescadero in San Mateo County.

I can just see it!!!

I used to work with a bunch of those guys in Sunnyvale way back in another life. Our parking lot had an Isetta, a Fiat 500, several VW's, a Triumph roadster, a MG-B coupe, I owned a Simca 1200, which was broke down most of the time so rode my original ballon tire 1 speed bike.
