Since when are moms all wet for race car drivers?
Get a sitter for little Ilsa when you're going to stalk prick-ish race car drivers. gah!

]]> Let's not forget the late 70s Mercury combo of dark blue and chamois (kind of a circus peanut pink/tan) that graced thousands of Cougars, some even with the trunk straps!

]]> That '61/'62 Caddy limousine is obviously armored, you can tell by the little window in the dog leg of the wrap-around windshield, kinda hard to form 2 inch thick glass into a compound curve. So whay not ship those rides to Scottsdale and and have a special Baghdad Beauties Barrett-Jackson event with all proceeds going to the Baghdad police academy?

]]> It's time the big three started offering a wider choice of colors. In the late 70s early 80s GM offered no less than 14 color options on Cadillacs. I understand the cost implications of offering more than the basic greys, black, and white so why not offer more colors and charge $300 for a "non-standard" color? I know plenty of folks that would pay for a different color.

]]> Where in the world would you find an R/C Buick Wildcat?

]]> Umm I invented those turn signals on old T-Birds and Cougars that flash in a row and all I got was this stupid T-shirt.

]]> Historic preservation is sadly lacking in most big cities, significant buildings and homes are lost every day. One bright spot in Detroit is the saving of the Cadillac-Book Hotel.

]]> That Lexus is among the ugliest cars EVER! RIP!
Dropping the Avalon will just force a percentage of its buyers up into a Lexus ES and the others will just step down to a loaded Camry, makes sense to me.

]]> Sure are a lot of belly achers raining on Ely's parade. me thinks jealousy has reared its ugly head.
Go Ely GO!

]]> It looks like a Mondial for the masses! Quite interesting icons on the speedo face though.

]]> Yes! Cars are getting uglier, and some of this ugliness is due to pedestrian-friendly (well maybe not friendly) legislation in Europe. The fronts of cars are higher, thicker and less sculptural because of it. The front of the latest XK is thicker and blunt because a more pointed front end wouldn't pass European car/person crash tests. So we have a Jag with the front grill off of an '02 Taurus.

]]> Cadillac Alllante!

]]> That looks like a Fitzpatrick ad come to life.

]]> That looks like a Fitzpatrick painting come to life!

]]> @P161911:
EXACTLY!

]]> It looks like a Lexus, and that's not a compliment.

]]> The main reason I like and buy American cars is STYLING. My 2002 Buick LeSabre has more style than any Lexus or VW.

]]> @sos10:
The Abbey is all straight now that it's become a chain.

]]> Why didn't she take the Lincoln, I would have taken the Lincoln.

]]> Dirty!!@Turtlestack:

]]> Meh....the proportions are a little off, the back fender is too large and doesn't gell well with the long sweep of the front fender. The front looks like a '49 Caddy, nothing wrong with that but not very original. It's a nice piece but I'd say 50 grand tops.

1960 Cadillac full-line. It features each car with a lifestyle shot of a Mink-wrapped-blank-faced beauty buying jewelery, crystal, or perhaps a soul and there are a few shots of well-dressed men buying manly things like guns and airplanes.

]]> @Annex1:
Bless your heart, you're having a bad day. I hope you feel better and find whatever it is that you're looking for. Now I must get back to my Ass Wiping class.

]]> That would be more fun if we were talking about an XK8 or XLR.

]]> PEANUT BUTTER!

]]> I can make one of those out a Monte Carlo and some fiberglass.

]]> @stang96:
I've wondered that as well. My best guess is that the stuff bumper covers are made of takes the paint differently and ends up drying to a different color?

]]> Why don't the car companies just engineer their engines torun on stndard grade? Cadillac used to require premium in the Northstar but then after a few years standard grade was just fine.

]]> Ok, I'll say it. "I'm ready for my close-up Mr.Wert.

]]> BREAKING NEWS "Women allowed to drive in Middle East*"
*only in cars fitted with a Burka.

]]> But she traded that Mustang in on a Convertible Eldorado

]]> I think she married my dad.

]]> Those are full-on Cadillac rear view mirrors, sans the Cadillac script. Random!

]]> It's interesting to see how the cars available for rental have drastically changed over the past 10 years or so. The Avis neighborhood location near me in Austin has VW Passant's, Cadillac CTS', and even the everyday Chevy Impala's are all decked out with leather and a sunroof. Maybe the idea is that when the car goes up for reatil sale it won't scream FORMER RENTAL and retain some actual value....

]]> Do you think it'll get better MPG now? Those are "go fast holes". I guess it beats getting rid of the spare.

]]> I'd feel rather uncomfortable in a Smart on anything other than a crowded downtown street.

]]> I took the hubcaps off my '76 Eldorado. I think I am getting like 38 MPG now.

]]> I might go on a diet.....

]]> If this is supposed to be a "period piece" which is the case unless the SF PD drives 30 year old cruisers the continuity editor did a sucky job because all the cars parked along the street are newish.
Also, I don't ever remember seeing a Montego cop car.

]]> @abgwin:
You just proved my point.
