I have a deep affinity for the late 80's Alfas as well including the Milano and the later 164 for similar reasons. Before I went to college in the summer of 88 I sold cars for about 4 months at a Chevrolet/Alfa Romeo dealership. I never sold a single Alfa (I did sell a lot of crappy Camaro's Cavalier's and…

I am inclined to agree with you. The 3rd generation Spider Veloce was actually the prettier car because it didn't have all the add-on skirts & spoilers, but if you wanted the larger wheels and the hard-top you had to go with the Quadrifoglio. As for the bumbers they were federally mandated so even the base 3rd gen…

My vote after Lindsay (Porsche Wrecker) Lohan goes to George Michael. The guy drove a Range Rover through a store in London... and was once banned from driving in Britain for 2 years...

I have been quite curious about the Mercedes 600 Pullman Limousine for some time. It was discontinued around the time I was born, but it has such a fascinating history, and reflects the obsession Mercedes has always had with technology and over-engineering. I hear they are notoriously expensive to keep running, but I…

I live in Charleston, South Carolina, and The Range Rover Sport is a good representation of the city. The name has a lot of history, it is appealing to both young and old money. It is very nice, but also overpriced and not very efficient, and things don't always work they should. These attributes apply equally to…

Gotta go with the Toyota Paseo Convertible. A mediocre car to begin with made even worse by cutting the roof off.

A 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. Classic American luxury car with American proportions, but an almost European sensibility when it came to styling and design.

The biggest problem I have with the LeSabre theory is that Buicks had the ugly black rub strip running down the side of the car which the car in the picture definitely does not have.

Except the car didn't have the wide black rub strip running the length of the car like the LeSabre does.

That is my thought as well... Blacked out "A" pillars. Thin "C" pillar, side marker lights in the wraparound fenders.

The tail lights match, but I don't see any side marker lights on the Lincoln. This car definitely had amber side marker lights.

The Black "A" Pillar and thin "C" pillar have me more convinced that this most likely a late 90's Oldsmobile LSS or Delta 88

Shot in the dark here, but it looks like a 1997 or 1998 Oldsmobile LSS or Delta 88

You can actually say the same for the second generation Probes as well. They have all but disappeared from the roads as well. Enough so that when you do occasionally see one you have rack your mental Rolodex to remember what it is.

It is a fashion thing. It can be argued that a well designed digital dash provides more information more quickly than old fashioned analog gauges... They just fell out of fashion in the 90's. The funny thing is that they are making a big comeback but this time as LCD screens that display digital versions of analog…

Another car that has all but disappeared from the roads, a third generation Toyota Cressida. Bonus points if you can find one with the "Tokyo at night" Digital dashboard.

I received a Volkswagen Eos as a rental last Summer. I had specified a convertible and was hoping for anything but a Sebring. When I got to the counter the representative proudly told me I was the first renter for a brand new Volkswagen Eos with only 18 miles on the odometer. It took me a minute to realize what it…
