This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition , where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot . It's been a while since we've seen one of Denver's many cool street-parked cars, and what better place to look for one than right in the heart of the Democratic National Convention madness downtown? That's what Kitt thought, so she braved the protesters and riot-ready cops to shoot this '61 Lancer. Now, we can't say for sure, but speculation (well, my speculation, anyway) has it that Barack Obama plans to drive this car for the rest of the campaign, to show that he's a man of the people! Make the jump for more of my crackbrained theory political insight (and the rest of the photos of this fine automobile). galleryPost('DOTSBEDenverLancer', 3, '1961 Dodge Lancer Joins The Democratic National Convention'); See, the Lancer was Dodge's innovative compact car for '61, based on the new Valiant...

This Daytona Beach resident doesn't roll around in an insatiably thirsty monster SUV, yet still gets vast amounts of interior space and the reliability only the Mopar Slant Six can provide. Sure, it's probably a bit on the underpowered side, and that Florida rain probably comes in through the inevitable fiberglass cracks, but who the hell cares? Just look at this fine motor vehicle! Thanks to LongRoofFan for sending in the photos. galleryPost('DOTSBEDaytonaA100', 4, 'Balboa Camper Down On The Daytona Beach Street'); Just a regular old car/truck crazy guy. I spotted the attached Balboa in Daytona Beach today, parked on the street, outside a condo complex.I thought you would enjoy these.

You hear a lot about the late-60s Chargers, the Malaise Era Chargers, and the current crop, but what about the forgotten '66 and '67 models? Some think they're homely (and suspiciously similar in design to the AMC Marlin), but 40+ years sit pretty well on this '66 that the unstoppable Kitt found in her Denver neighborhood. In this case, the car's proud owner was present and happy to open hood and doors to facilitate photography of his Dodge (which, sadly, lacks the optional 426 Hemi). galleryPost('DOTSBEDenver66Charger', 54, '1966 Dodge Charger Down On The Denver Street');

Not content to rest on her laurels for having found a street-parked Maserati Mistral , reader Kitt continues to make a case for Denver as a worthy rival for Alameda in the DOTS Intergalactic Superchampionship. This time she's found a solid-looking '71 Dodge Camper Special... only where's the camper? Make the jump to see the rest of the photos. galleryPost('DOTSBECamperSpecialTop', 6, '1971 Dodge Camper Special Part 1'); galleryPost('DOTSBECamperSpecialJump', 29, '1971 Dodge Camper Special Part 2');

Remember the Dodge Rampage ? Yes, for a while in the mid-80s you could get a factory-built Dodge Omniamino, but these days they're as rare as pastel leg warmers and cellphones that weigh 20 pounds. Fortunately, loyal Denver -based reader Kitt had camera at the ready when she spotted this fine example of the Little Front-Drive Pickup That Could (Not Sell). The owner of this truckcar has given it his or her own special style, with a curious mix of Grateful Dead, safety-stripe, and general skullish themes. It's nice to see Dead-related stuff on a vehicle other than a faded Subaru or beater Tercel . This Rampage gets bonus points for not having a single one of those irritating "dancing bear" images anywhere on it. Just the Steal Your Face skulls for this Mopar! It's got the marker lights. It's got the roof-mounted spotlight. It's got the air horns. A little more of this stuff and we might be seeing the world's first Dekotoramino! The owner wants everyone to know this is an '84 model, not one...
