Nearly every day on my afternoon commute I see a Kia Soul with a factory (or at least optional) single racing stripe going over the car.

@LTDScott:

@tonyola: I'll give you the technicality. In '79 the "Grand Marquis" was an option package of the "Marquis" which is the Panther car you posted above. But there was no official "Grand Marquis" model from 1979 - 1982.

@tonyola: That's a '79 Marquis. Grand not found.

Not much to add other than the '89+ Cougar was available with the Supercharged 3.8L V6 and a manual trans.

Uncle Jesse's gonna be pissed when he gets the bill.

@Rob-Stercraw: Yup, I've noticed that for years.

Shake and rape!

@Dolphfr: I really dig them, even if I'm not partial to the bubble back.

For personal like and obscurity reasons, the '85 Marquis LTS. Canada-only version of the LTD LX (5.0 HO, basically an '84 Mustang GT auto under the skin). I believe there were only a few hundred made and I've only seen a few photos of them online.

I'm either lucky or am missing out on part of the experience. Of all of the 15 cars I have owned in my 30 years, none have been carbureted or had points ignition.

I actually think these were very good looking sedans. Haven't seen one in ages.

@900pilot: Nice.

Quick! Flash your hazards to show you beat them.

All I wanted was a truckload of Pepsi, just one truckload of Pepsi, but he wouldn't dump it on me.

@collinsayz: A friend of mine actually had a picnic in the middle of a freeway just prior to it opening.

"I'll never feel bad about being 6' and 1.75" again."

@Nick: This almost killed me the first time I saw it.

If it's good enough for Hightower.....

@Wunno Sev: Brah!
