As a proud(?) Ford Durango owner I've got admit that this one is priced pretty high. Even though mine is only a six cylinder, it has all original paint, rebuilt engine and trans and I'd be thrilled if it was worth a third of his asking price.

Even though it is a bit under-engineered, it serves its purpose as our shop truck and it's fun to watch people scratch their heads when they see it.

Having said that, Bumblee's comment is sheer genius and truly deserving of COTD recognition. Congrats!

According to the press release, she is their absolute target, being born smack in the middle of the millenial generation. Her automatic and unsolicited comment was, "How can Ford build such an ugly car?". 'Nuff said.

It was always meant to be "in your face", and, judging by the comments, it still does it very well.

Unibody would be good; diesel and unibody would be even better. Looks are great but U.S. manufacturers have to start getting the whole package right.

Miami (South Beach) is the natural location for Lambo central. Additionally, the three hours they would save would give them time to call before siesta.

I'm continually amazed by the arcane automotive knowledge of the Jalopnik community. Actually, this Powell is a station wagon, which is quite a bit more rare than the pick up.

The picture of the unrestored body is actually a third 597 we have which is the oldest existing example. Only the first 2 prototypes were smooth sided; the other 69 all had ribbed body panels.

Can't let my wife see this pic. I bought her a 2CV (which she had been asking for) for Valentine's Day several years ago. Before I got it off the trailer, I had it traded away for a CD-Panhard. The wife and the CD are still around, but Valentine's Day has somehow lost its luster.

At that point, I had to shut it off. NPR just lost my meager annual pledge for next year.

Good or bad, he's got to be loads better than the guy on SuperCars Exposed.

It was one of the very first American production OHC engines and was remarkably successful in early sports car racing, including winning the first Sebring endurance race.

For true car people, cars are their clothes. Therefore, we care most about how we look when we're in a car. The problem is that I seem to have an over abundance of leisure suit equivalents in my automotive wardrobe.
