Calling All Connoisseurs

Took a break from DBacks at pub to take pictures and get educated.

That's a BobBilt. Bob occupied so couldn't ask him what frame was.
When I did ask him to take a photo, he had just opened the boot.

Dodge truck. Owner chatting up someone else. Didn't find out year.

Another fellow engaged in car talk. Chevy, 50 something. "Nice work."

Did he say 1900cc? 1965 sedan. He had Muir's guide; tauted it too.

Chrysler Imperial. Again the guy was not available for questioning.
Famed nozzles... something of a technocratic fetish.
(Looked for exact aeronautic term for flame housing. Later.)
Got to talking about the F-86 Sabre at Grand and Peoria. Still there?
Drove by many times (matter fact, this show too) on way to patients.

This fellow I spoke with. 1958 Chevrolet Del Ray.
(No model script on rear fender.)
"Bel Air?"
"Del Ray."

You knew that.
