Oh, that? That whole thing was only a dream.

From Keeping Up Appearances...

This one confuses you? I’m guessing this French Renault 900 will make your brain explode!

IIRC, there’s a Chevy S-10 pickup somewhere under all that bodywork.  It’s probably for cooling.

Could be worse. With the help of Google Earth Streetview, I captured this one with aero mods in Denton, Texas (parked next to a head shop, FWIW).

That red one is a totally different car than the Valiant, other than they are both Plymouths. The A-body was the small car platform (Valiant, Lancer) and competed with the Corvair and the Falcon. The red one is a full-sized car like the Fury (not sure of the body designation though). Now, if you really want to see

It’s a weird combo of hot mess fussy (those odd shiny things in the grille) and “I need a nap” boring.

No, but he could put Jason’s eye out with that chin.

Those aren’t manufactuer’s plates.  They’re dealer plates.  If the Lane does buying and selling of weird cars, that’s how they have them.

That’s the way cars have been since at least the early 50's. For example, to lock my ‘53 Buick, or any (American) car, you had to push all the lock buttons inside down, then hold the outside door handle button in to lock it. It’s only been since central locking and remotes have been around that didn’t have to do that.

As was pointed out, the DFW area is huge, and most roads are under construction right now.  Here’s a rough CT overlay for comparison. 

Since Ford wouldn’t let him use “E” for the Model 3, I really doubt they would let him use Fairlane or Galaxie (assuming Ford still owns the copyright to them).

I know the backstory in fact. Some kid whipped it up in Photoshop in his mother’s basement while waiting for his Hot Pocket to be nuked in the microwave.

As much as I love limos and the early 90's B-body wagons (I used to have a nice ‘94 Caprice wagon), I went with CP on this one, but only because of the price. Many of these 6dr limos were made for the funeral home industry, and some of those were wagons. Here’s one I almost bought over 20 years ago from a place that

Did you watch the whole video? There are several shots of a ‘61 Galaxy doing it’s thing along with the Falcons.  And yes, it’s glorious. 

That Panther buggy looks like a hoot. I’m surprised on how quiet it is. Must have kept the original exhaust.

Or, maybe not... Does it rain much in NC?

“Trump is a dumb person’s idea of a smart person,
a poor person’s idea of a rich person,
a coward’s idea of a brave person,
and a weak man’s idea of a strong man.”

I saw that at the ACD Museum in Auburn a number of years ago. I never did find out what that big vertical lever in the middle of the dashboard was for.
