Lincoln probably deserved the car that ultimately became the reborn Ford Thunderbird. Would Matthew McConoughey have been insufferable in the ads? Maybe. But you’d be able to pick up one of these for CHEAP on Craigslist. And that would have been worth it.

I don’t know how close it came to production, but GMC thought hard enough about a second-generation Typhoon that it put this concept together in 1998. The drivetrain details may have been lost to time, but I do know that we’d all be better off if this thing got built, no matter what’s under the hood.

If you’re going to meet me at my secret surf spot, you’re not going to be able to get there in anything other than a Dangel. It’s not that the roads are so tough. It’s just that we have a strict French 4x4 Conversions-only rule around here. No exceptions.

Look closely at the movement of air over and around the W124. Study it in great detail. Harness its power and flow as you enter the new week with purpose and direction, free from any resistance.

French coachbuilder Heuliez thought that the Citroén SM could be improved by adding louvers to the rear window and chopping some big chunks out of the roof to make a T-top. I think they were on to something.
