The Airflow's failure sent Chrysler on a conservative path that would hinder it for years.

@pauljones: You too, Paul? I toil so hard to keep the spirit of Sarah alive and there are so few hours in the day.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIFT? WHY DO WE HAVE TO FILL AN APPLICATION OUT? WHY CAN'T WE JUST TWEET SOMETHING? I'D APPLY ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE, BUT I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT. SARAH HENDERSON

@IFTNFS: The Astro seemed to be an ideal vehicle for many businesses around here and many are still on the road.

@IFTNFS: I'm sorry if I made it sound like I was only discussing size. What I meant was that the professional car industry is highly-specialized and there are certain changes in the automotive scene that really rock their world. The book also mentioned that more than a few eyes in that business winced when they were

@BMRFILE: My first real job was for a company called Ben Franklin Stores. They no longer exist for all practical purposes and my first company car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme which came without cupholders OR a navigation system and this was life before cell phones. In this primative world I travelled the

In his book 80 years of Cadillac and LaSalle Walter M.P. McCall stated that the downsizing of Cadillac's professional chassis in 1977 was, "one of the most traumatic basic changes in the highly-specialized funeral car and ambulance industry in many years". I would suspect that the loss of the Town Car is having a

@ottomaddox: I agree wholeheartedly. I'm no comedian, but I greatly appriciate the art of comedy that is well done. This is not a comedy show, per se, however it must have the humorous comedic bantering for it to succeed. Being funny isn't easy - I know because I've done it unsuccessfully for years. In a case such

@ottomaddox: You get a heart click for giving a very well thought-out and presented argument.*

@62imperialcrown: Did you notice the '60 Polara (or maybe it was the Matador)? Kris T. was really wanting one of those at one time. I tried to figure out the reason behind this and finally decided to just enjoy the pictures. Given that these were mostly Mopars from the 50's-60's, and this was the Northeast, maybe

@Foo2rama: I thought that was you, why didn't you wave?

No one asked, but my true issue with the show is that the hosts are too stereotyped. You have the wholesome boy from next door, the heavyset class clown who can't hold his liguor and the Italian from New York. It just doesn't work for me and I wanted it to.

Now playing

Now, how the Great Generation destroyed a Cadillac. Mr. Tom McCahill, take it away...

@Ray Wert: You do know how to roll, Ray, you do know how to roll...

I find myself watching the ads and muting the show. KFC's new agency seems to be on their game.

I'm watching because of the Coupe deVille. Tanner isn't bad, but I'd make it to the first Texaco on a road trip with the other two.

@MushyHeirloom: Yup, I love Goldenrod Garage. The owner seems like a real, down-to-earth car guy.

Congrats. Your obligatory car is this beautifully preserved 1959 Plymouth Belvedere. It was selected for you because the original owner showed epic restraint when ordering, sticking with the flathead six and three-on-the-tree, he only gave a nod to a radio. Given that this car has travelled fewer than 18,000 miles

He nearly hit the Cadillac CTS-V sedan driving on the left with the turn signal on at 3:28.
