1990 Chrysler TC By Maserati

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. We've seen an Alameda Ferrari, and now we've got a Maserati!

OK, fine, some hard-to-please types don't consider the Chrysler TC By Maserati to be a true Maserati… but Allpar says it's the 'best vehicle Maserati ever made', and who can argue with the best Chrysler site in the world?

This Italianized K Car is a little rough, but it still gets plenty of street duty. While I was photographing it, a couple of teenage boys passing by assumed I was the owner and asked me how much I wanted for it. "That's a old school Maserati, dog!" one of them exclaimed. You see? If 17-year-olds think it's a Maserati, it's a Maserati!

1984 Chrysler LeBaron: Does The Continental Kit Make It Better?

The Chrysler K-car is subject to both love and hate. Yes it helped save the Pentastar brand's hiney back in the day, serving as the basis for the mega-hit that was the minivan. Yes, there are still some sick-o's out there who get a kick out of raising the boost on the turbo models and surprising folks off the line. But seriously, they're just so flippin' ugly. Here's example #467: Not happy with the original wood-paneled loveliness of this LeBaron, the owner of this masterpiece decided a continental spare tire kit would be the cherry on top of a sundae of sick. Ugh. [eBay Listing via Cardomain]
