This is the only appropriate way to advertise this level of boring cost-cutting-mobile. It adds a personality to a product that needs it.
I admit, the cynic in me expected the Jeep/Springsteen ad to be a bit if a shit show. I expected a schmaltzy one though, not whatever the hell is happening now.
I’m a big fan of Cabover trucks, and have been ever since I first started wrenching on them back in the ‘80s. They have their advantages, but also their disadvantages. The big disadvantage is climbing in and out of the things. It’s not so bad for an over-the-road truck, but for anything where you’re jumping in and out…
The old Metcalf family Ford Country Squire (circa 1988) station wagon had not only the front seat lighter and ash tray but a lighter and ash tray in BOTH rear door armrests. Great for the family because the kids don’t have to fight over lighters!
This is gross but I do see where you got your inspiration from
Counterpoint, the escape is ugly.
I can’t imagine a car I’d want to cover in this paint. BUT I can think of plenty of places on a car it could be used. Like everything behind the grill should be painted with this. And this stuff might actually make fake vents slightly (SLIGHTLY) more tolerable.
My dad had some old Caddy’s growing up. They had insanely long legs. You could go for something like 500 miles between fill ups. Everything in those cars are giant. Including the gas tank.
The pandemic halted my shopping for my dream car 2nd-gen Firebird - see profile pic - but I had always thought I had to have either a black or saddle interior. As the years passed and I got more and more bored and pissed off at how boring car interiors have become, I decided I needed more.
There appears to be more design and character expressed in this single view than is any two other modern cars. Absolute. Presence. This car was built back when Cadillac know who they fuck they were.
In the final analysis, I’ve decided that I would take this interior scheme over the “dirty dishwater,” “even dirtier dishwater,” and “black” offerings of the last decade. Make car interiors great again, dammit.
Wow, that’s a lot of green. Only in the ‘70s could a car pull that off.
You forgot the third: vehicle wrangler for every single 70's gangster movie currently in production.
This 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible isn’t a Car, it’s a State of mind.
This car is disgustingly excessive, and I am all here for it. Seinfeld described the Eldorado with the 500ci V8 as a car that screams “I am alone in this world”. It is massive for the sake of being massive. You can probably watch the fuel gauge drop every time you smash the pedal. Random oil princes will call you to…
Mmmmmm love that green!
Were it a David Tracy special, the undercarriage would have simply disconnected from the cabin and the driver would have coasted to safely unharmed.
