Without giving too much away, let’s just say that this little guy’s expression perfectly captures the theme of today’s CC, and why I’m sitting here writing it. Yes, I’m back, for today at least. See you in a couple of hours!

I have absolutely no idea. But, like, hooray, you briefly return!
I really don’t have a clue, I just wanted to say how happy I am seeing you on these pages again.
I have no idea, but it should be interesting. I never posted on your CC’s but I did read most of them. It’s good to see another CC even if it’s only one.
That’s Psyduck, a first-gen Pokemon.
So is the car a Pokemon? I know many have opined that the current Mazdas look like happy Pokemon and the current Audis look like angry Pokemon.
:)
Wow, Jack was the last guy I expected to catch the Pokemon reference.
Sometimes I’m glad that I’m old.
Kids today have Pokemon, Dora and Transformers 2.0.
We had Soupy Sales.
And Sky King, and Clutch Cargo, and Felix the Cat (with his nemesis, the Master Cylinder – a car joke). Plus all those great Jay Ward (Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natash) and Chuck Jones (Looney Tunes) cartoons.
Sheesh, kids these days can’t even get Saturday tv right.
From reading your articles and the beardy appearance I’ve always assumed you were older than me (I’m 28) and even I don’t know which Pokemon that is. Shame on you Mr Baruth. Get your Pokemon cards on ebay quick smart.
Damn straight on the Looney Tunes. There’s a reason the original Plymouth Roadrunner sold so well.
But that Psyduck looks pretty cool, too, though.
whatever it is , the little guy’s expression is priceless. I look that a lot these days which explains why automotive repair is so inherently funny (afterwards). Oh, I look like that after working on my Peugeot, is it a Peugeot?
A return of Curbside Classics? That’s like Christmas in August. Thank you, Mr. Niedermeyer!
Chrysler Imperial?
Hell yeah!!1!!11! for you coming back.
I have no idea of what it is… however the duck is very worried about the hood ornament getting lost.
Duck as in merlette?
Is this a 40’s era Caddy?
An Excalibur missing its hood ornament.
Duck Boat from WWII?
I, too, thought “amphibious car”.
And glad to have the CC back!!!
Pontoon body Mercedes. But I have no idea how the duck would tie in.
Good to have you back Paul! I’m thinking a seventies or early eighties Cadillac missing its anti “zig” (no Cateras here) duckie ornament. I don’t recall if you’ve done a second gen Seville – I have an inexplicable (and unrational) affinity for those cars.
A baby cormorant looking for his mother the Packard hood ornament?
Hmmmm, a rubber duckie and a piece of chrome resembling a drain. For some reason Chrysler comes to mind.
Welcome back!
Yes!
You’re back! And you brought Psyduck! This is a win for me and the kids! Glad to see you posting again, Paul!
A Cadillac Cimarron with the hood medallion removed and modified to accept a stand up wreath & crest which has since been swiped? That would explain the duck (Cadillac) and the horrified expression (Cimarron).
I’m thinking its a Citrogen 2CV – not-so-affectionately referred as the “lahme Ente” (lame duck) in Germany.
@ Paul
You can’t put an old head on young shoulders.
That’s a quote from my dad. I don’t know what it means.
Cordoba without rich nor even impoverished leather with a Corinthian heritage.
