Volvo 1800 (South Berkeley)
May 26th, 2005
Melissa spotted this Volvo on the way home from church the other day. You’ve got your standard hippie-type art on the hood, a fan favorite.
Beaudry and I were speculating on how many Berkeley cars are out there. It seems like there are more than I expected. This is number 42, I have a couple in the queue, and there are still some that I’ve seen but wasn’t able to capture on film. Also, it seems that any time I drive around for a little while in Berkeley, I see multiple new specimen. Could there be more than 100 in the East Bay? Odie says that there are even more in SF. Wow.

Yeah there are. My favorite so far is the submarine van - complete with dome bubble and periscope. You should cross the Bay Bridge sometime - there’s like a whole city over here.
