I had a 2008 Mustang and the plastic interior annoyed me. So did the clumsy parking brake lever. When I later switched to a 2010 model, I liked the soft touch dash much better as well as the improved console and parking brake lever. I still hated the plastic door panels that scuffed too easily and I wished they were…

Those are not 14 inch “ Pinto Rally wheels”. Those are styled steel wheels with trim rings that debuted with the 1974 Mustang II and were made an option a year later on the Pinto. All Mustang IIs and Pintos came with 13" wheels and nothing bigger.

I remember as a kid when these were new and I thought they were rather attractive looking. However, mid-sized fastbacks were disappearing and by 1975 the Big 3 abandoned them for the popularity of personal luxury cars with padded vinyl roofs and opera windows and a lot formal notched rooflines.

Lovely thing isn’t it... Real AMC would have put that front end on the 74 Matador Coupe.

I would be AMC CEO and made sure the Javelin survived and maybe even fitted it later in the decade with 4WD to become the first Eagle 4x4 Pony Car.... I would have squashed the roof of the Pacer to look like a Porsche 928.... And made an Eagle 4x4 version of it as well. Then I would make sure the Matador stayed around…

The Granada and Monarch were originally supposed to be the restyled versions of the Maverick and Comet continuing the use of those names. After the 1974 gas crisis, the Maverick and Comet continued to sell well, so the Granada and Monarch were introduced positioned upscale. I remember when the Granada and Monarch…

The Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare along with their luxury variants the Dodge Diplomat and Chrysler LeBaron were the only compact coupes that offered T-tops. Neither Ford nor GM offered T-tops on compact models. When GM downsized their A-body mid-sized cars to the external dimensions of the compact NOVA cars, they…

How about when you forget and leave something in your vehicle? Almost anyone is going to say "I left my phone in the car/truck/van". It's not likely anyone would say SUV, CUV, etc. People will break it down to the most common understandable term.

Ford introduced sequential turn signals on the 1965 Thunderbird. The feature later ended up on 1967-69 Shelby Mustangs which used Thunderbird taillamp units and the Mercury Cougar introduced in the 1967 model year.

Good thing Mercury is defunct. Poor Cougar be damned otherwise. Perverts ruined one the best classic car names with the use of modern slang.

There is definitely a romance towards fastback sport coupes with haunched body contours and similar daylight opening shapes that take on the look of Aston Martin, Maserati & Bentley coupes... Even much lower priced Mustangs.

This is definitely not a Buick with obvious new Cadillac Escala design cues all over it.

They are trying too hard to modernize the vertical taillamp themes when simple will do.

Mustang Cobra was always laughable because a horse cannot be a snake at the same time. Ford was always inconsistant with making sure the Mustang name and pony emblem did not show up on cars that were Shelbys or Cobras. More care was given to make sure Cobra IIs did not have horse emblems or Mustang names placed on…

VWs modern naming sucks. 

The problem with the names Escort and Probe is that people are perverted enough to have the first thought about those names being a prostititute and a dildo when the original meanings are simple such as as Escort being a companion of any sort or a Probe being a space exploration craft. 

That’s funny. The band Pantera reminded me of the car of the same name. I guess because I knew about the car existing way before the band did...

The 1967-70 Eldorados were the best too, very handsome cars before the 1970s bloat.
