I recently returned from an extensive visit to California where from time to time I would encounter an interesting car. On occasions where I had my camera handy, I took photos, a few of which are shown below.
This was at The Gardens on El Paseo, a shopping area in the city of Palm Desert. This part of California is where affluent people either winter or retire to permanently, so expensive cars are common. The Corvette pictured here is on a place where car dealers display their wares for passers-by to contemplate.
Parked a few blocks away was this McLaren. Dealers sometimes simply park a fancy car by a curb to entice potential buyers.
Not far away was this Lamborghini. Its status is unclear. Gallardos ceased production in 2014, yet this example has no license plate. Perhaps a dealer still had it on hand and was hoping to find a customer for it.
I saw this i8 on display at the Blackhawk shopping mall in Danville.
Palm Springs has an aviation museum. Under a B-17 bomber was this entry-level '32 Studebaker.
Back to the El Paseo street scene. Here is a Fisker Karma, one of about 4,500 built from late 2011 to late 2012.
