Jalopnik
Alameda isn't the only East Bay city with interesting machines down on the street; on a recent trip to a junkyard in lovely Hayward, I spotted this customized '78 Cordoba in the parking lot. I'm pretty sure Ricardo Montalban himself would be proud to ease back in this car's fine Corinthian Leather driver's seat and cruise Hesperian Boulevard in Cordoba Style!
The great thing about this car is that all the customizing touches work perfectly. The Cordoba begs for such treatment.
With its plastic "golden" medallion insignia and execrable downward-spiral-era Chrysler build quality, the Cordoba rolled off the assembly line as something of a joke.
But give it some pinstriping, the right wheels, and a continental kit...
...and you've got the Cordoba that Chrysler really wanted to build!
Hmm... not so sure the Screaming Chicken decals work here, though.
