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.

Holy crap, I want its taillights, though. I want to put them on everything I own! And I just want the Monterey in general: that Breezeway is the coolest shit, and it always makes the cab look like it was slapped on top on the last day, but in a totally badass way.

Nah, that's a proud Mopar performance upgrade, like the lightweight windows in the 68 Hemi drag cars.

Mopar Trivia- 1965 Chryslers had a one-year only version of the cable activated 727 Torqueflite. It was similar to those of the '62-'64 pushbutton era but had a slip yoke extension housing like the '66 and up versions instead of the Mopar old ball and trunion. These '65 Torqueflites are highly sought after and command a premium now-a-days.

No we won't.
Out of this group, no question I'd demo the '56 Chev. Some orthodontist with a Visa Platinum or some shit and a Danchuk catalog will just replace it anyway.

BTW, in the right hands that '63 Mercury would keep up with ANY '73-76 GM product in a derby.

I don't doubt it- the point is, the '63 Merc is absolutely crazy beautiful, and '70s GMs are ugly bogged-out pieces of shit. And before anybody jumps on me, please take note I'm not excluding '70s Mopes or Fords from this judgement- but we can definitely start with the General Malaise products.
If the local boneyard was smart enough to sell whole cars, I would've demo'd this monstrosity:
