@AcaciaBogdan: I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there...yeah. It's an e34 premium package wheel. The basketweave pattern is a giveaway. I had them on my old 1995 525i.

Being the proud owner of an E39 540i I really have to say that you guys are all.....

And the teaser photo looked so promising.

Seems appropriate...

Are we sure that's really a valid listing? Is it that bad in Motor City? According to Zillow, Last sale and tax info: Sold 10/16/2007: $270,195 *

@timtoolman: I'll take "Not getting the joke" for $500, Alex.

"Also consider: Ritalin"...

News flash - it snows in California. There are ski resorts here. The 1960 Winter Olympics were held here.

Memories...I learned to drive in a '74 Caprice Classic. I even had to take my first driver's test in that land barge. It was done up in lovely malaise brown on brown with a brown vinyl roof.

Sweet. Don Draper would approve.

Ford Tempo.

@layabout: Frak you. I'm from Caprica.

@Murph: Those aren't Westy windows. They are generic OTW (Other Than Westfalia) camper windows. They are generally used when camper conversion companies hack windows into panel Buses. Westfalias used stock Bus windows until the SO-42 appeared in 1965. The stock SO-42 Westfalia windows are jaluosie (louver style)

@///Mink: And by "double-door/walkthrough" I mean "double-door and walkthrough". Though we can't see the front seats, the lack of upper vents near the roofline generally indicate that it has the walk through front seat arrangement.

It's an early '64 model. The combination of wide rear hatch and ice pick door handles place it somewhere between August and December 1963. The earlier comment about the side windows being stock is incorrect - this Bus started life as a windowless panel van and was later modified with those side camper windows. This

Utterly adorable pap snap (for a change) Lourdes is mini-Madge circa 1982, but younger obv the expression is a dead-ringer.

@Deartháir: Be very, very, very careful when looking for a Ghia. Make sure the person who inspects it knows Ghias forward and back. Make sure they know to look for things like bondoed-over torsion acress plates and fender-to-rocker seams, both of which are ominous signs for the car's rockers.
