 I was driving down the freeway and saw this old yellow station wagon behind me. The bright yellow caught my eye, but then I saw the yellow surfboard on top of the SW. This is Portland, 80 miles from the ocean... I thought this was unusual. Snapped a few pics of it. It worked out pretty well in this pic where I got it in the side mirror.

Highly not recommended to snap pics while driving on a freeway:)

LOL - my parents had the same or similar wagon back in the mid 70's except it was beige with "wood" sides.

Damn fine job of shooting into the rear view mirror! And yes, you SHOULD NOT be doing that whilst driving! :-) Very cool old car, and gotta love not only the fact the surfboard matches, but the line on the road does too.

ROFL I am reminded not of the Brady bunch so much as I am the 70's show! I like it.

... and that's the way they all became the Brady Bunch da da da da. LOL

The only other time I saw one of those cars was back in '92 on the Santa Ana freeway, my first thought was, it's a Brady Bunch car.

Great capture!

Well,,,, It's almost a woody. In any case, it's an interesting little blip in time captured.

Is that an AMC Rambler? I remember my dad had one of those when I was a kid. (The second shot shows a Chrysler logo. Still a blast from the past!)

Great catch,and ends up being a really interesting composition in the mirror. I wonder if it could be an upside down sailboard for windsurfering. Lots of people travel from Portland to Hood River just up the Columbia from you for that sport.
