Honestly, it was pretty awful then too.

Dalton was 41, and Lazenby was 29 (although either seem acceptable deviations from the mean, while Moore was just a bit too far).

I’m already in touch with anybody from high school I’d want to see again, I skipped my actual 10 year reunion. There’s a pretty good list of cars that the same logic applies to, but I’m going with a Triumph Stag, because either it breaks down and I get to skip the reunion, or at least it’s a good drive up.

Between the Riviera and the C126, Dalton had impeccable taste in cars.

Another Mercury, but the Villager did as well.

Yeah, comedies in general (nevermind R-rated romcoms) are pretty poorly represented in 2022's box office, no one’s been showing up for much of anything unless it had previous IP.

‘65 Riviera. I have a weird weakness for stacked sealed beams already, but hiding them behind some magnificent clamshell covers is even better.

Looks like you can still buy a new CX-5, but yes, if the CX-50 didn’t replace it, they’re very close in size.

Eh, the company line is (was?) that a movie should be judged based on what it's trying to be, rather than in the overall pantheon of movies (or something to that effect). Basically, an A+ popcorn flick might not be a future Oscar winner, but it excels at its goal of entertaining.

Granted, it’s nearing end of life, but I feel like the painted cladding on the CX-5 just draws attention to that more.

The original concept drawing for the Maverick;

Oof - my wife tagged along for a test ride in an FRS when they first came out. Even though she's tiny, and I'm pretty stubby legged (30" inseam - there's normally limo-like legroom behind me in even the smallest of cars), and she still barely fit. Hopefully you picked up the tab after subjecting your friends to that. 

Not gonna lie, the inclusion of the C5 makes me irrationally angry, especially when there were multiple nominations of the C2. The C5 is an FD RX-7 that's been photocopied one too many times. It's the okay first draft to the much better looking C6. The C5 is a great performance bargain, but it belongs on a list of…

Andy, I’m just going to assume you forgot this existed to think all Continentals look good. Not even that it’s ugly, it’s just like 17 feet of nothing.

Going a slightly different direction, in spite of being built for almost 30 years, in spite of going through several parent companies and being cobbled together from whatever components were available, the Wagoneer was not only desirable right up to the end of production, but can fetch pretty healthy money today, and…

Cosigned for the 406's loveliness.

Beat me to it - I know the Déesse nickname is more a play on the name than an absolute implcation the car is a goddess, but still, it holds up.

Wait, one of those over the '59 Cadillac? I get the appeal of Googie design, but it just doesn't sit right with me here.

It’s a cheap Chrysler that at this point looks like it’s own exclusively by the sort of person who has that copy of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, but with Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and James Dean sitting at the bar instead. Not that those are *good* reasons to earn the ire it has, because it’s still a small station wagon…

I just want to know what happened, how we could go from the Continental Mark II to...this thing, right back to the ‘61 Continental. Like, two of the best looking luxury cars the US has ever made, to something that looks like it was farmed out to Cousin Eddie.
