This is the kind of purity and wonderful shit I need on a horrible thursday. 10/10

My favorite stories are always the ones that showcase the love some people have for cars that should have probably been forgotten.

Your comment made me start thinking of those “fuselage” body types and I realized that the more shape you put in the section of the body side the more you have to combat the irregularity of the opening. Adding a flare is one way, but when going for a fuselage look, the flares interrupt. The flattening of the wheel…

I love design minutia. I remember when I was younger I would obsess about which cars had sealed beam headlamps, which had halogens, and which had switched to clear lens halogens without the fresnel patterns that had been mandated by the government up until the late 80's.  Then I started noticing wheels and whether…

Good points all. I think the structural support mentioned was more in reference to reinforcing the edge of a fender flare. If you just rolled said edge it would be very flimsy and easily deformed. But yeah, in fiberglass it didn’t really matter.

I remember in the early 2000's, GM’s BoB Lutz came out and said they were g…

I'm obviously in the minority but I found it to be an attractive car and pretty much the only affordable 4 seat convertible sold in the US.

We are driving rental Opel Insignia and like that wagon.

This car may not be popular, but it’s certainly not “meh.” It looks too unique and rare to be so. Dang it Torch.

Apparently the market for “I need to replace my aging Chrysler Sebring convertible with something similar” customers is a small one.

I want that so bad for reasons I cannot even begin to fathom.

The Freelander/LR2 wasn’t the first - a 2.6L i6 was offered in the Series 3 Land Rover, which went on sale in 1971. I believe the NAS Defender received a BMW i6, too.

Taillamps that flashed arrows at night which pointed in the opposite direction of the turn being signaled. Edsel wagons shared the wagon body shells with Fords and they attempted to disguise the jet tube round lamps with alternately styled lamp units with oddly shaped bolt-on trim.

Thanks I couldn’t remember. 

The big three had compacts on their minds in the Fall of 1957 when the Edsel hit showrooms, but their entries wouldn’t make the market until two years later and the big three compacts weren’t good cars when they arrived. I liked the Edsel styling in 1958, but not in ‘59 or 60. The ‘59 was very much more Ford-like and…

Except that the turn signals are arrows pointing the wrong way!

GM was actively trying to create single parent households in the 80's and 90's.

Chevy Astros, a similar concept to the Aerostar only made a lot longer, also folded like a beer can in a crash.

That Popemobile is probably the best SEAT in the house.

1st gear. Gm launching or updating 20 plus vehicles. Guess when you add 17 inche rims for 2020 verses 16 inch rims from 2019 that’s updating.
