Car-spotting thread

Bummed I couldn’t take a pic because I was driving, but came across two 60’s era VW vans heading south on 287 together. The lead one had a sweet Santa Cruz FS bike on a rear mounted rack, above the engine door. The 2nd one had some form of bike on the roof top luggage carrier. Lying down so couldn’t tell what it was.

OK, how's this for an idea/semi-plan? We meet late morning (10-11am?) at BRR for coffee and car checkouts, grab some BBQ takeout and go for a short (or longer?) cruise around the area and wind up at Conclave for a quick beer? Conclave opens at 1pm, so times can be adjusted as needed. Just spit-balling here.

Was this in Millburn near the train station?

no, my dads station in the picture was in Landing...aka Roxbury....But he did have another Gulf station at the intersection of Dover chester road and sussex turnpike in the early 80s...(its a shell now, last I saw)....He had ~72 Ford f350 tow truck, when it finally died, he swapped the body on to this one.

When I was really little and he still owned his gas station in jersey city, he had one that looked just like this...Ford C600 COE....I can still remember having to climb way up in it.....felt like I was sitting up against the windshield looking out from the freedom tower down at the other cars.

WILPAT enterprises. They were an exxon/esso/mobile supplier of atlas parts, but he had good prices on oil, it wasn't branded as atlas.
Can't remember if we were in boonton or dover at that time. Probably out of dover - end of blackwell street.
Station was close to the corner of lakeside/mt arlington rd? there was one on landing road too? kinda fuzzy -
