The tailight shot is great. As "plain" as this car is by late 50s standards, look at all that intricate detail. No curved swoopy pieces of red plastic with no trim here, fellas.

I get a much bigger kick out of the sedans and non-Bel Airs than the typical sport coupes and convertibles. For a lower-line model, the Two-Ten actually looks pretty sharp with just enough chrome and two-tone paint.
Also, Chevy should bring back those bow-tie-in-crest emblems. Huge emblems are (unfortunately) all the rage right now, but that big gold bow-tie just looks like hell.

Just had to share this with my fellow Jalops. I just picked up a first-gen RX7 in excellent condition for $500. She doesn't run, but I've narrowed it down to clogged jets, so I'm not worried about it too much.
I'm so damn excited about this thing. It's carbureted AND a rotary. I'm so far off the beaten path, I don't know what to do with myself. This is awesome.

The Fordborghini, on the other hand, there are so many ways you could go about finishing that thing, you'd never settle on a course of action. Psuedolambo all the way.

I can't decide whether it needs six chromed velocity stacks coming through the hood, or an enormous hood scoop.

...because somehow I can see how the Fairlaineborghini's upside-down rear pick-up window will look exactly like the rear window of the Countach pictured in the ad, and that's too easy!

A care like that needs to have a starch under the bonnet. So since I think I still have one floating around somewhere, probably should do some minor surgery and plant this one instead.

Trim and such isn't a problem, have a buddy right here in town that did all the trim work on the Browning collection (brass lamps & all)

BTW, If you ever pass through Ogden Utah, this is a "must see"

And in a flag-waving, cricket playing, tea drinking, home-fires burning, bad dentistry having, fish 'n chips eating, empire-surrendering, financial crisis suffering, egotistical, bigotted and quasi-patriotic way it really ought to be the Lagonda by a country mile.
Particularly the Lagonda after recieving some sort of later Aston Martin V8 or straight-six transplant, possibly by way of an Eaton blower or two. Yeah, it should walk it.
And yet. Like the eight-legged goat in the science museum that you can't help going back to and marvelling at the freakishness of it all, the WhatTheFuborghini demands my attention. The very exsistence of such a monstrosity deserves recognition, that it has been allowed to survive this long is nothing short of miraculous.
It has been a while sice I saw such a display of automotive wrongability. I feel it needs a Rain-Man sort of loving and nourishment, to some how give it dignity and respect in this cruel, cruel world.
Wrongborghini. Out of charity if nothing else.
