Good God, I remember these things! My great aunts husband passed away. Harvey. Harvey (what other name would be driving this behemoth?) had a swamp green Newport two-door barge with the 440 (why I'll never know as he never drove it above 40mph in his lifetime). When he passed my Dad got the car to sell. For about a week I drove the thing for fun. What a blast, compared to my little '78 Rabbit it was a beast. Always kinda nervous as I couldn't believe the thing would "fit" on the road, and it turned like a aircraft carrier, long and forever. I truly believe the only reason the steering wheel was so big is so that you had something to hang on to in turns, as if that loonnggg bench seat was going to hold you anywhere in a turn...I think the truck could hold like 5 Honda Fits today...

What's better than seeing a car on DOTS? Seeing the same car on the move a couple days later! I mean, it's possible there's a second car just like it (this is Alameda after all) but unlikely. It looked like it was rolling out of the Nob Hill gas station, possibly after draining it dry.

She went across their backyard, blasted the neighbor's backyard hedge, into the adjacent neighbor's back fence, over their gas meter and hit the the Buick 225 sitting under the car port. He didn't come home for 8 days! I miss her.

My mom jumped the curb on Long Island with one of these. She thought that she ran over a kid. She didn't stop, though, she just kept going. Uprooting trees and shrubs, snapping telephone pole guide wires, knocking down signs. When I drove through there later that afternoon, it looked like a war zone. The looks I got were killers, because I was driving the car! A few dents in the fender and hood, and off we went. Totally bullettproof! Went on for 20 more years.

I love the big ole C-bodies.

It reminds me of a time when I was just a youngster and flew a trip with my dad to Piqua, Ohio to see the factory where the new propellers for the King Air he was flying were being made.

The plant manager or someone at the company gave my dad a car exactly like this one (except brown) to drive instead of a rental. Wanting to know exactly what kind of car it was, I repeatedly would ask my father, "What kind of car is this?". He would reply every time with, "Its a Clunker."

Man, do I love big 70's cars. If only it were more affordable to drive them.

Anyone who has the dedication to keep using a Fiat 124 as a daily driver deserves my vote. And since non rusty ones are so rare, I had to check the Fiat box.
As usual, todays car seems to be getting the most votes.
It baffles me how anyone can deny Italian exotica in favor of a craptastically built rebadged Dodge?

So that's what I used to drive at my first job. Body shop I used to work for had one of those as a runabout. I nicknamed it the Carrier due to the akwardly flat surfaces on the top of the car, save for the superstructure. You wouldn't believe what you could fit in those things too. Ahh the memories. Ahh the cars of old, where a fender bender meant just that, some wrinkled sheetmetal, big chrome, bench seats and engine compartments that you could camp in.

I think this would be an amazing restomod. Put a modern, efficient drive train in it, and you might get 20 mpg. Maybe an LS2 or, for the budget-but-complicated route, a Toyota 1UZFE? As already pointed out, it's not that heavy by today's standards. Put some 12.5" disc brakes and 4-pot calipers on it, stiffen the ride just a bit, throw a set of 8" wide wheels on it... hmmmmmm.... Low pressure turbo?

Surely we must be approaching another milestone in DOTS. Perhaps we can get another run down of all the cars featured in the series. Those entries are the easiest to send to my dad, who at 65 spends most of his time reading books rather than sitting online, yet he does love looking at some old cars and certainly appreciates the wonder that is the tiny island of Alameda.

I voted for the Newport only because I almost bought one once.

For a suspiciously low price. From a "dude" that worked at a "custom motorcycle shop" that "mysteriously" "burned down" once every 2 years.

I later found out that it was common practice for said "motorcycle shop" to "retrieve" their custom bikes from new owners in the dead of night and "repurpose" the parts onto new custom bikes.

So, in conclusion, I voted for the Newport because it reminded me of the one time in my life I chose not to get ripped off!

Still, the Riv is arguably quirkier, and it had a Nailhead, which I love the sound of. So I had to abandon my Mopar allegiance and cast my lot with the Buick.

I love "fuselage" Chryslers. My parents had a '72 New Yorker coupe similar to this, and it was a monster. It had what was perhaps the largest trunk I've ever seen.

One night, my father got rear-ended by a Buick Electra of similar vintage. The Buick was totalled, the Chrysler lost its back bumper. A Sherman tank lined with tufted vinyl, it was.
