Old Civic

Drove past it in Demorestville, ON. Drove back later with my camera, because I knew yumikid would want a picture of Sookie's car, even if it is the wrong colour!

Not certain of the year, but it's definitely a early- to late-seventies edition. I say appears, because I don't know enough about them to say for sure, but it's DEFINITELY NOT an 80 or 81. The big 'tell' is that the grill gets wider and shorter, and the lines are squarer across the hood and body: strangely, people seem to think Sookie's is an 80/81 model year, even though it's obviously got a different, older face

They're not fast by any means, but there's something about the styling on this generation of civics that appeals to me: more soul and character than a new one. Less reliable though.
