Good grief; both from the land of 10,000 potholes. Lesser of two evils is the '67.

This thing will be a big hit at any Harley rally. Look for it at Sturgis 2008.
@DoctorNine: I would agree if the current crop of hybrid vehicles on the market worked more like locomotives or ships. As they are, they're far too complex to be anything more than stopgap technology.
That Studebaker had me with the fins and the headlights. Wonder if Marv could get us a better shot of the front end.
Wow, that was, um, boring.
Dang: @this should read: "I'm not so sure it fits."
Umm... Wouldn't the inclusion of an ambulance or hearse in Maximum Wagon Day be like including a flower car in Maximum El Camino Day? I'm not so sure.
@Charles_Barrett: I rest my @ case . Not that there's anything wrong with peach schnapps... I'm just sayin... ;o)
@Mad_Science: 'Round these parts, it's peppermint schnapps that keeps the men on the ice warm (great for snowmobiling too). Peach is for girls. Or Minnesooootans.
Thirty-two straight pipes... I'll bet that thing was some kinda loud.
I'll take the BULLITNOSE, thanks. I've heard of Bullet Nose Studebakers, but that BULLITNOSE must be quite rare.
Remember the episode of Mork & Mindy where Mork disassembles Mindy's Jeep then reassembles it in the living room of the apartment? Yeah; similar outcome.
By damage, do you mean other than whatever it was that led to the thing being left to get covered by that much snow?
@Armand4: Ditto. Strap a Mr. Fusion to that puppy and wave goodbye to the... Oh, wait...
@fuzzycuffs: The $20k price is without the parts you'd get from the donor car, and the price for that can vary pretty widely. The website is pretty thorough about what parts you need to source from donor(s); engine, transaxle (from a Porsche I believe), suspension & brake bits, etc...
@McBrace: YOU'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING!!!
@badco-fascism: Photos 3 & 4 in the WP slideshow speak volumes in this tragedy; two racers take off in a cloud of smoke. The breeze pushes the smoke down the road, masking the presence of the excited spectators who moved into the road after the racers left the starting line. White Crown Vic comes rolling down the road…
@smokyburnout: True, but then they drive back from Vegas in a car. Great solid story here. Solid like a sponge.
What? No airbag deployment on the Yukon? No. Way.
Anybody figure out how the bad guys made it to Vegas ahead of KITT moving at 200+mph? And what kind of fuel does KITT run on? Oh wait; gas. But combined with solar something, it gets 167 miles per gallon. Yup, uh huh.
