Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
I'm thinking the Mistique of the California car or truck when you get east of the Mississippi. Cars that have been back there for years but still show up at shows with California plates. Probably a bit of Bubba factor involved. Back 35 years ago it usually meant rust free but As you know there is just as much wet area in Cali as there is in Oregon.
Back 30 years ago I knew guys who would go down to the LA area to buy cars because they were cheaper down there. You could pick up a 3 to 10 year old car for about 30% less than you could here at the time. That was probably supply and demand working in their favor though. What was an "Old car" in LA was a nice used car here. At that time a lot of dealers here went down there to the auctions to buy cars and bring them back to put on their car lots.
