Like a rock?

Real patina: awesome.  Faux patina: dude, you’re trying too hard.

Well, we finally got the flying car we’ve been promised.

Answer: Pontiac Farago CF 428 Concept, on a Grand Prix chassis. Styled by Sergio Coggiola, who had worked at Ghia when Giugiara styled the Ghibli. (Hence the resemblance.) All I’m saying is, the quarter panels and roofline scream “71-73 Mustang Fastback.”

Maserati Ghibli?

What’s the burgundy car on the left (partially obscured) in the second photo (the one that says “Pictured: A Bunch of Suckers”)?

I can’t argue with this.  I remember as a kid, when I first learned about the ‘57 Chevy and the almost mythical status it held with some car guys, I wondered what the big deal was because I just couldn’t see it.

And a bitchin’ stereo with a cassette player. Amen!

Sounds like a motorcycle to me.

Isn’t that pretty much the back seat of any Jeep driving around with no roof or doors?

That should become the next model of exotic car ‘ownership” - cars so exotic that you CAN’T own them until the end of the lease. Some of them will go back to the company at the end of the lease, get refurbished, and sold for…

How long before the kids start doing this on their street Hondas?

It’s CP, but I want it anyway.

It is a loathsome, offensive brute, and yet I cannot look away.

It’s interesting, but in a way that makes you ponder why, why on earth would someone do this?  The workmanship looks decent, the idea probably sounded good over a few beers ... but it just doesn’t quite work.
