Look what Migue found near his school. 1984 Renault 5 Mirage / LeCar.

Migue (and Migue?!?!?) nerding over a new front disc brake. XD

Debo decir que hay aplicaciones de la IA que son sobrecogedoras. La posibilidad de crear un video a partir de una imagen fija es a la vez impresionante, y preocupante. Como toda tecnología, depende de los usuarios el hacer buen uso de sus capacidades. Por lo pronto, creo que ya sé cómo usarla.

Migue is proudly showing off his latest creation, a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline in Oxford Maroon Iridiscent. These huge Chevrolets were available in multiple styles and sold really well, even though the design dated from before the war. The Fleetline was the sportiest model of the line.

So that's why Migue has been so quiet lately. He's nerding over an old Commodore 16 computer, the kiddo is planning to connect it and see if it still works. Have fun, buddy!

Migue wanted a snack and found this 1977 Chevrolet StepVan delivering fresh Wonder bread and Twinkies!! Bring some, kiddo!!!

This time Migue went all the way down to Brazil to pose with this one. 1999 Volkswagen Pointer / Gol in Araguaia Green. That was a very good hatchback, it was really fun to drive! Good choice, kiddo!

Two Mexican workhorses from the late 1970s. Volkswagen Transporter Panel vs Datsun 620 chassis-cab with closed van body, delivering competing brands of Mexican chips and snacks.

Migue is getting a ride to his PE class! 1965 Volkswagen in Sea Blue.

Migue needs to change the oil to these monsters. Mexican-built 1971 Ramirez R20 tractors. Have fun, kiddo!

Migue is now working on another automotive unicorn: a 1971 Ramírez R20 tractor. These were made in Monterrey, Mexico, and are legendary among Mexican truckers. Big and ugly but strong and reliable, these brutes gave loyal services for decades.

Wile E coyote finally catches the roadrunner! Well….. kinda.. (Had to reupload the drawing due to an error I just recently found. So I apologize for that. 😅)

Migue arrived in El Oro. He borrowed a bike and is running errands for his granny.

Completed. 1968 DINA Olímpico (Flxible FlxLiner) in the livery of a large Mexican intercity line. Migue earned his vacations with this one, he's heading to the grandpas' house in a small town near the mountains. Have a good time, kiddo! Send photos!! #bus #truck #kids #vacation #drawing #inkscape

Almost finished. Clearance lights, mirrors, wipers, windshield and driver window, add shadowing, and resolve the cab interior, and this DINA Olímpico (Flxible FlxLiner) from 1968 will be ready to take Migue to his favorite vacation spot.

The lineart is almost ready! Mexican 1968 Dina 'Olímpico', a bus you could see all over the country for many years.

Migue's favorite Studebaker. XD

Migue is working on his first bus ever! We'll see how this goes. XD Assuming the kid is around 1.40 meters high, I think this would be the correct proportion relative to the huge bus. Mexican-made DINA Olimpico (Flxible FixLiner) from 1968.

Migue's Studebaker collection so far. All cool cars (though that pink 1958 Lark is still growing on me), though I think his favorite is definitely the 1800s farm wagon.

Migue just finished washing that truck, a 1952 Studebaker 2-ton stake. It was a tough job, but the kiddo managed to clean the huge machine before his shift ended. He's grinning imagining what he's going to buy with his pay, 10 bucks just for him! XD #Studebaker #truck #kid #play #vector #inkscape

These were very rustic and cool. 1973 Volkswagen type 181 "Thing" (o Safari, as it was called in Mexico). Designed as a tough little personel carrier for the German army, it was loosely inspired by the wartime Kubelwagen. With the bullet-proof 1500 cc Volkswagen type 1 engine and transmission.

1952 Chevrolet Styleline DeLuxe sedan in downtown Guanajuato, Mexico.

Nerding over a hubcap. XD Migue is installing new DeLuxe covers on his mom's car, but he's been examining their construction for a while. "Stamped inoxidable steel... painted emblem..."

Migue is waiting for his girl. ^^ They planned a nice date for the afternoon: movie downtown, then a pizza at the new place. Migue took the 1955 DeSoto Firesweep Sportsman hardtop because his girl likes the color! Emberglow, as it's called. It's a very girly bubble gum pink. Well, have fun, kiddos!

A classic from the '60s! 1966 Plymouth Valiant Acapulco. This was the top of the line in Mexico, and to this day is a very sought after car! Nice find, Migue!!

Another oddball built on the aesthetically challenged VW 'Thing': the Safari Acapulco. Created as a special model for the Las Brisas hotel in Acapulco, it was eventually available for sale to the public. Mid-70s.

Yes, it looks like it was made by the smith at the town's barn, but this was an original model, sold new like this by VW of Mexico in the early '70s. The Safari Pickup was an odball that tried to convince you that two little rear doors were as useful as a proper tailgate. Migue is not convinced.

Este se vendía en México como Dodge Dart, pero era el mismo coche. Es más, creo que la parrilla del 'Dodge' traía estampada la marca 'Plymouth' en algún lado. Bonito coche, bien de los '70s.

Once upon a time, taillighs were embedded in the bumper. They looked great... but usually changing a blown bulb was a major repair job, requiring to remove the bumper completely. When the government-mandated 5 mph bumpers appeared, this very 70s design cue had to disappear. 1972 Plymouth Satellite.

Yes, he's a dork. xd Migue eagerly walking to school one Monday morning.

It's a campervan, alright. But not any campervan: based on the Hormiga, a strange truck built by VW of Mexico between 1975 and 1978, it's a front-wheel-drive, mid-engined monstrosity powered by the Beetle's air-cooled engine. Roughly the same size as the VW Transporter, it was fully equipped!

1961 Plymouth Suburban. I might finish this one some day.

The kiddo is choosing the color for the latest project: a 1961 Plymouth. What color should he use?

Chequen esta foto!! José Alfredo Jiménez en 1957 frente a su flamante Chrysler 300 C nuevecito. Ese coche inspiró aquella canción de, "caballo blanco que salió un domingo de Guadalajara..." y que se desbieló en algún lugar enmedio de la nada. XD Le ha de haber puesto tequila en vez de aceite!

"Where to, sir??" Migue managed to bring a classic Taxi (a 'crocodile', as these were known) to the little mining town of El Oro. He's hopeful to work it enough to earn money for the gas and tolls for the return trip. 😅 1957 Plymouth Savoy in Mexico City taxi livery.

- Look, dad, I can reach!! I just had to reinstall the seat!!!! - Come here, you little brat! Don't you dare try driving that truck, can't you see it's fully loaded with dynamite?

It better doesn't 💥🤞🏻

Migue is eager to drive these trucks!! But he isn't tall enough yet; he can't reach the pedals, and the seat is not adjustable. So while he grows, he will have to settle with seating in the cabin and cleaning the dashboard. 😛 1917 Mack AC, closeup to cabin. #Mack #Trucks #drawing #Inkscape #vector

Miguelito and Migue are checking out two Japanese cars: a 1983 Datsun Sakura in red, and a 1985 Nissan Sakura in white. Yes, same car, different brand; that's the time when Datsun rebranded itself as Nissan in Mexico. This was the only model to carry both brand names. Background photo: PIX11.

Migue's been working on the town's mine as a general assistant, which means most of the time he is the one keeping clean the fleet and sorted, cleaned and lubed the tools. He also handles the occasional oil change for these huge beasts. A fully loaded 1917 Mack AC. #kids #work #fun #Mack #truck

What are you planning now, Migue? I see you got dressed as a 1930s brat, hope you're not planning to steal the Model A this time!

Migue and Miguelito (!?!?!?!?) are nerding over a big, just unboxed brake rotor and disc. Because they are two little nerds, fascinated with cars and all things mechanic. The car? A 1979 Ford Mustang fastback in a very discreet yellow. Because why not. #inkscape #vector #Ford #Mustang #kids #play

1999 Plymouth Prowler. The swan song of the Plymouth division, this car is a great eye magnet, though they say it could have benefited from a V8 engine instead of its standard six. This was a challenge to draw! #Plymouth #Prowler #drawing #Inkscape #vector #kids

This is why I no longer tell jokes at home. XD

2006 Dodge RAM SRT-10. A big pickup with a bigger (and very powerful!) engine, the same used on the Viper.

A very old bank note from 1913. National Bank of Mexico, Cinco Pesos, october 1913. During the revolution (1910 - 1921) it was common that local banks or large entities printed their own money, which was valid only in their 'territories' and until power shifted to the other band.

Juarez Theatre, El Oro, Mexico. #Photo #Photography

The door to the Juarez Theatre, El Oro, Mexico. Behind these doors lie one of the so-called 'Centennial' theatres, venues built at or around the centennial date of Mexico's Independence. In this case, the building dates from 1907. Built in steel and wood, with a sandstone facade. #photo #photography
