Preferred, though it might (and should) give up some speed to the much more expensive Merc.

Wow. Tempered glass is pretty amazing sometimes.

This is for everyone who loudly declares Subaru > Jeep. You're incorrect.

Mein Gott! Vy ve lend ze car to zem ven zey say only ze bad things about ze car unt ruin ze tires?

Much faster than you'd think for the era. I'd guess 9.0, but it would depend on gearing.

I love the model J and SJ Duesenbergs, but I'm having a hard time saying Nice Price to this. I just looked at the auction page for more info and I still feel the same.

Take one Prowler, shrink to 7/8 size, remove the boring Chrysler parts and replace with boring Volvo parts. Voila.

Nice to see that it was basically a dud.

He is properly dressed, it just doesn't fit what everyone else is wearing. If someone told me that he once few on the Concorde while dressed in pajamas, I wouldn't be surprised. FWIW, I've never ever seen anyone but him wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt who I thought actually "got it."

I consider anything made after my high-school graduation in 1995 to be "modern," while anything newer than about 2001 to be fairly new. By that I mean that anything newer than that should be new enough to get in it and drive it 300 miles without any preflight checks.

No hat tip? I posted this with that very photo to #tips last weekend. I get no respect.

My grandfather had one of these at one point, and it's a car that my dad still remembers well. The one in question was a hardtop like this one (and that's a non-factory conversion by Ionia, BTW) with Hydra-Matic and the mighty J-2 3x2 bbl V8. That J-2 engine dominated NASCAR when NASCAR still used mostly stock cars.…

They were slow, but anyone who is criticizing the handling needs to recognize that they were outstanding by the standards of 1984. The magazines universally praised the new Camaro's dynamics.

Obvious answer is obvious.

Dartz Prombron- the reason why half of the top 10 most stolen vehicles are Chevy/GMC trucks and SUVs. They're gathering raw materials.

Datsun would've never put out a press photo where the front clip of the car didn't match the rest.

I nominate the other bastard child of the Citroen-Maserati mashup: the Quattroporte II. I think they built all of about 13 of these. It has the full set of hydro-pneumatic DIRAVI everything and FWD. It's basically an SM in a creased suit. Utter crap, but also sexy.
