I’m not sure a car can age badly when everybody knew it was a disaster as soon as it rolled out of South Bend. Agreed, though: Packard, cool. Studebaker, cool. Packardbaker, NO.

It’s almost like Ford & GM saw the '57 Mopars, and both just gave up.

The early ‘60s were the third generation, Jabberwoky likes them. So do I.

This was a thing for Ford at the time. Look at the Continental Mark II, the suicide Lincoln Continental, and the Tabasco nightmare in between.

Back when the book with all the answers was the J.C. Whitney catalog, I could swear they offered a 4-barrel manifold for the slant six. Anybody ever try one?

In 2022, $2500 cars don't usually have all four wheels.

It definitely wasn’t under 4k new, and why do people still need to be told that it doesn’t matter how much it was when it was new? Go get a $5000 Duesenberg. My mother’s landlord offered to sell her Brooklyn brownstone to my grandfather for ten grand in 1953. It last sold for $3.4M. Doesn’t seem fair since it was…

“$1750" and “runs” only go together in lawn mower ads these days.

That’s why everybody who owns a truck should also own a car, as God intended.

You do have to reach the pedals. Trust me, I'm 5'5".

I loved my Toyotas. I work hard to make sure nobody wants to ride with me, and I only bought them in case I needed to carry motorcycles, so not only did I deliberately look for single cab, but I insisted on 2WD. I could even see pedestrians walking within 10 feet of my front bumper! If you need to move people instead…

This makes a ‘60 Valiant look like a Bugatti Royale. In fact it makes the Homer look like a Royale.

If it absolutely has to have at least six cylinders, a CBX or Benelli Sei would be cool, and the Benelli would be an Italian money pit. If the cylinder count is flexible, an R90S is as GT as it gets, and it even has Italian carbs. And how about zero cylinders? A Norton Rotary is fast, smooth, comfortable, and needs a…

They can saturate the market of hip, youthful types who can afford a $55k van in three months. What’s their plan after that?

I can picture their PR guy, Tommy Flanagan: "it's, uh...electric! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

After 80 years of ICE experience, I wonder how VW plans to make this as unreliable as we expect from them.

Their color charts in the '70s made Benjamin Moore look like an amateur.

My mother's '79 Rabbit was red, and my '82 was gold.

Hell, 19 years ago you could get an Isuzu Oasis (badge engineered Odyssey) for free! Well, I could. My mom didn't like her trade-in offer.

These MIGHT be 7", but the SS 100 is so low, they look like they should be shining on the 20th Century Fox logo. Big, round headlights make a car look like a car.
