That's it, I'm driving my '74 Ghia to work today. I wasn't going to, but you inspired me. :)

@OG_: The Tritec engine is built in Brazil.

It has high-mounted upper hinges on the cargo doors, which ended in November 1960. So definitely 1959 or 1960.

@Murilee Martin: You can see the side window difference right there - It has a later door on it that has the larger window opening.

Absolutely bizarre - I posted that exact same screen cap on a VW forum a few months back. I even though it was mine for a second...

Anything, ANYTHING Chris Bangle has touched.

I have to abstain from voting, but I'm going to give a +1 to Murilee for the Glengarry Glen Ross reference. At least I think it is.

@abgwin: Trust me, that nose is loaded with bondo. The shape of the ridge is all wrong, unfortunately - it's not nearly as crisp as it should be.

E39 owner approves.

I have a wonderful Haworth chair and laptop in my cubicle in Rancho Cordova. Wanna trade?

Sad news indeed. My uncle was a long-time customer of Good Chevy:
