Unlike the Baur BMW conversion that looks well crafted, this conversion looks like crap. I wouldn't want it for any price, because of the "Wrangler" top look. I can almost feel the how loose the car is with the loss of all that roof structure.

Hey, what a surprise, a BMW that other BMW-o-philes hate. What's the chance of that?

Ray, I talked a couple of car guys into entering this event.... maybe you could turn to them for help.
Oh dear god. I just took a look at these custom Fords, and I think I'm going to regret covering the show. Can they get ever more tasteless than these creations?
Looking at these pictures, this seemed to have happened more than a month ago. Look closely at the pictures, and you will notice that all the new trucks are the last generation of Chevy pickups, not the current generation. I was unaware that GM still made the old ones...... #carcrashes
Hey Murilee, you guys gave the IOE to an Oldsmobile 98, and a FWD Pontiac Grand Prix, so while the Festiva isn't really all that cool, it deserves a chance at the award.
OK People, if you want to know more about the Mercury Marauder X-100, here is an article I penned a while ago.
Woah, wait a minute, you aren't even considering the Gremlin as an IOE contender? I cry foul, foul I say....
As I have outlined in previous posts before, most of the vehicles would have never received anywhere near the trade in value that they did during the C4C program.
@postjosh: The engine had to be destroyed, but the car could be "recycled" for up to 90 days before they were crushed. That way, other parts could be sold like sheet metal, interior furnishings, and electronics. All of these items had to be stripped out before it was crushed anyway. #clunkpocalypse
@ssrock64: Not necessarily. Remember, Chrysler was offering $4,500 rebate at the same time the C4C program was going on. So, if the Windstar qualified for the C4C rebate of $4,500, and Chrysler had a $4,500 rebate, it was worth $9,000. #clunkpocalypse
Well, the crowding of SUV's Minivans and Trucks isn't all that much od a surprise. However, these twelve makes being traded in under the cash for clunkers program should be. Read all about the Dirty Dozen #clunkpocalypse
1956 was the year I was born, and there were some awesome american and imports available then. However, there were some truly un-remarkable, yet likable cars. These were the worst (but I'd still want!)
