    So while many B-Body Wagon folks were Wagonfesting up there in New York, I was Cars-and-Coffee-ing here in Texas. I normally go to the one in Killeen on the last Sunday of the month, but they were having a BMW theme day, so I decided to make the 50-mile run out into the Hill Country for the Dripping Springs C&C.

    I'd never been to this one, and it was not huge, but some REALLY nice cars showed up, including some wagons. I especially liked the 1956 Century Wagon, which was a LOADED car, with a/c, power windows, power seat, even a power antenna. Really sharp! The little Corvair Lakewood wagon was sharp too. And for the not-wagons, I got a kick out of seeing a nice Jensen Healey, a Holden Ute, a gorgeous 67 427 Corvette convertible, a Rambler American convertible, and an '89 Turbo Trans Am, among others.

    Some highlights below, and the full Public Facebook album link below. Enjoy the pics!

    A Holden Ute, which is basically the Pontiac GTO we got here from 2004-06. Neat Vehicle!

    Those are the first ever Holdens I've ever seen with left-hand drive. Is GM selling them as one of their own divisions or are they parallel-to-GM imports?
