Odd Sighting - Los Angeles - one pagoda, two pagoda, three
« on: January 08, 2015, 18:01:53 »
Driving southbound on the 110 Highway just south of Downtown Los Angeles I saw a car carrier with what looked like a Pagoda --- then I saw it was THREE Pagodas!   

At first I thought maybe it's Stan and his Polish Team doing a California Tour  ;D ;D  but that would have been 9 pristine Pagodas :D

I think these are for a classic car dealer as plates were removed and there was some kind of Dealer plaque on all but I could not read it while taking the shots with one hand on the wheel and the other out the sunroof with the phone clicking blurry shots.

I wonder if the transporter was on it's way to the Classic Centre to Irvine, CA (assuming he was heading south).

Nice sighting and nearly good shots, thanks for sharing.

PS. Don't give Stan any ideas he might just organize nit :)

If they did not look so good, I'd say they are shipped back to Germany  ;D

Three Pagodas - and a '54 or '55 M.G. TF!  Might be a dealer  moving inventory or low cost transport to one of the West Coast auctions.
