@The Stig's American Cousin: I clickede the "load on one page" link and that worked for me.

@Vorsprung: Gassers often used plexiglass to replace the stock glass and save weight. This morphed into using colored plexiglass since it cost the same and looked different. It did have limited popularity in the custom/hot rod scene at the time but never really took off as it was illegal on street cars nearly…

Hard to tell if this will be good or bad.

@Muscles Marinara: Not the 1st gent though. The first one was the '53 wit hthe blue-flame 6cyl. The upgrade to the V8 two years later was a definite improvement on the original.

Scion xB. First generation was small, roomy, nimble, zippy and fuel efficient.

A few years ago I drove out to my family's weekend cottage to open it for the season. Parked my Subaru Outback in the driveway and apparently left it in neutral with the parking brake off.

@wojo is an expert on everything, but only when on the internet: Completely and utterly illegal. Changing anything on a plate is a good way to get hassled by the cops, repainting a plate is going to get you in trouble.

@Icecreamslayer: Just knowing that car exists makes me happy.

@IH_kumicho: That's great advice that would only occur to her if she wasn't piss drunk. But if she wasn't piss drunk she wouldn't have ramped a tool booth in the first place.

On the flipside, the 1960-1965 Mercury Comets where exactly what a mercury should have been. They were significantly fancier looking and a bit bigger than their Falcon cousins. And while the Falcon looked like cheap utilitarian transport, the Comet had some style and class (though underneath it was cheap utilitarian…

@tonyola: Need a Maverick with a bigger shnoz? Has Mercury got the car for you!

@wimbles - Pontiac 6000 STE Fanatic: Apparently I'm not the only one who autocrosses their early-60's merc.

@emg77: Interesting how this "Gemeral Motors" crash testing is all Plymouths...

@Bluecold: As a percentage of income old cars were not any cheaper. In fact in pre WWII days they were much more expensive.

100% spot on.
