Not exactly on the road, but I spotted the following cars at a church picnic in Granite City, IL:
1939 Chrysler Royal 4-door sedan; street rod; bright indigo blue
1951 Dodge Wayfarer 2-door humpback sedan; pale blue-gray
1960 Chevy El Camino "rat rod"; primer with tubbed wheels and some kind of Chevy engine under the hood
1963 Corvette Sting Ray convertible; faded and original Riverside Red with black top
1966 Ford Mustang GT 2-door hardtop; faded Brittany Blue (light metallic blue)
1968 Pontiac Firebird 2-door hardtop; black vinyl top over red; amateur restoration because the "Firebird" nameplates and logos were higher up on the fenders than on the original.
1970 Pontiac GTO 2-door hardtop; dark blue with parchment interior
And today, a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop; Rangoon Red; between Edwardsville and Bunker Hill, IL

Back from a couple of days of finding new roads in Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee...and here's what else I've found:
1955 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe 4-door sedan; black; near St. Francis, Arkansas (just a couple of miles from the Missouri state line in the Missouri Bootheel;
1962 Corvair 95 Rampside pickup with camper specially designed for its body; medium metallic green; found in the same location in St. Francis, Arkansas;
1970 Cadillac 4-door hardtop Sedan deVille; black vinyl top and dark green metallic Firemist body; in Piggott, Arkansas (about six miles from St. Francis)
1962 Mercury Meteor Custom 4-door sedan (the Mercury clone of the intermediate Ford Fairlane 500); Sultana White; in Union City, Tennessee;
1964 Ford Thunderbird 2-door hardtop; white over a bright yellow (that looks something like a 1964 Ford B-600 school bus color!); near Malden, Missouri, in the Missouri Bootheel
I had packed a camera to take snapshots of these cars, but it was packed away (very well!) in the trunk of my car !
