That 442 looks anything but like it rolled off the showroom floor.. Repaint in a non factory color, 442 badge in wrong location, wrong rims.. (should have chrome Olds Ralleyes)

Nicely said..This shit talk about the D (on a car site of all places) is getting old. Detroit was a industrial powerhouse from the 20's to the late 60's until we as a country abandoned buying American and the fall started there. Add a few corrupt mayors and its a recipe for disaster. The architecture from that era in…
Exactly, and then watch Ford scrambling to make a deal with Mazda again to rebadge 3's, 6's and whatever else when gas prices start climbing. (Which they already are)
Jalopnik should fund this instead of that know nothing Orloves Jalopnik show.. Would totally watch.. let’s get a kick starter going and make this happen..
They are offered with steelies, or the rims pictured. It’s called a Appearance package. Usually depts get that for their detective cars, so as to blend in with normal cars and not stand out as the po po. Some purchasing flunky probably just ordered everything with that package. Ford offers it as well. They just don’t…
Bring back the Jalopnik of old. Got 30 seconds into this and had to shut it off. How the hell do 2 20 something hipsters have any credibility talking about pickup trucks? Spackle? Sorry to tell ya, but your Co workers Yugo can handle that task. Jalopnik needs to quit losing the people that got it the readership it…
Why??? Yes, they are obviously in on it, but you can’t charge them with anything because they never get out of the car.. track down the forklift. Find the operator. Charges will stick on him..
The problem with the white Civic is the police can’t charge them with anything because 1. You can’t say who was driving it because you never see the driver and 2. They never touch the stolen car (at least in this video). No case to build against them. Find the forklift, then find who was in possession of it at the…
That doesnt look like a diesel tank on the back of the forklift.. looks like LPG.
The answer here is find the forklift, find who had access to it on this date, find your perp. Can’t be too many forklifts in this village capable of hauling a car a couple blocks. Looks like a newer model forklift..If able to figure out what brand forklift it is, some good detective work should take them to the…
This motor was designed and built by Yamaha...
Most if not all do have hour meters. The manufacturers put it in the menu with the odometer screen or infotainment menu. Even the old school ones had them, usually under the hood. Depended on the municipality, usually installed by their fleet mechanics or upfitters
Not to mention she also said she wanted decent gas mileage...these get about 8 to 10 mpg on on a good day.
Why am I back in the grays?
Jalops use letters when talking about cars that share platforms. Cavaliers, Pontiac Sunfires, Olds Firenza, and Buick Skyhawks, and Cimmarons were all J Bodys. Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth used the same letter designation system for their platforms as well. Ford used alot of animal names (Fox, Panther, et.al) I think AMC…
There was the full size Cutlass, which had a trim package called the Cutlass Calais, and the smaller Calais, which the article is referencing. Yes, the Cutlass was considered more mid size in its day, but was bigger than any full size car being sold today. The distinction was made by the people who drove them and…
Heres a 76 full size Cutlass from Lansing, couldnt find any pics of the Calais..they ran these til about 88 or 89 and went to boxy Caprices
Lansing Michigan P.D. (where these were built, and home of Oldsmobile) ran these as sergeants cars with Quad 4's for testing purposes for the Quad 4. They were pretty cool for cop cars, they had the lace alloys and were loaded up. The entire patrol fleet was full size 4 door Cutlasses at that time until they changed…
