Project Car Hell, Limo Edition: 1957 Chrysler or 1981 Ferrari?

Can an American car- even a 60-year-old American car made by a long-defunct manufacturer- compete with an entry PCH Superpower Italy? Not according to our most recent Choose Your Eternity poll, in which the '38 Studebaker Dictator lost out to the '68 OTAS 820. That might have something to do with the fact that most of the OTAS now resides in the belly of the Rust Monster, but it also points out just how tough it is to beat a PCH Superpower. However, Project Car Hell is all about beating your unstoppable head against an immobile brick wall, forever, so we're coming right back with another Italy-versus-America matchup. And not just your quotidian-type X-1/9-versus-Pacer deal, oh no- today we're plunging headfirst into the molten sulfur of Custom Stretch Limo Hell!

Either way, this Mazda is not a Ferrari 400i, nor does it really look like one. Except for all the badges. Such Teutonic tomfoolery is the punchline to an ad that reads "Replika Ferrari 400i GT auf Mazda 929 HB Coupe." I guess you had to be there. More »
