Are you sure? I think it looks more like the last Oldsmobile Cutlass 😂😂😂

Well Opel was the “Chevrolet” of Germany and was not on the same playing field as a BMW.
It's funny a 1976 car back in 1986 seemed like it was 20 years old.
Cimmaron is in the list of names never to be used again.
Its a shitty design that should be in two pieces or not exist at all because you shoukd not have to replace an entire headlamp assembly just because you bumped the lower edge of the tear trail.
The Cordoba was originally supposed to be released as the the Plymouth Sebring (dropping the Satellite name) but it was decided that Chrysler wanted to compete in the hot selling intermediate personal luxury car market dominated by Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix and Olds Cutlass Supreme. Cordoba fared much…
Standard Taurus $500 if running.
Not to mention most sedans had two-box bodies until trunks started growing from the back in the 40s and 50s.
Every Taurus is a crack price!
Here’s a Thunderbird ad from 1977 as opposed to the 1984 Thunderbird that was posted which was not from the 70s.
That doesn’t help a person who stores a car in their garage all for weeks or months at the time which the normal parasitic drains on the battery make it lose power. You either have to drive the vehicle regularly, disconnect the negative cable while storing the vehicle, or keep the battery hooked up to an automatic…
It's 1982 Camaro not 1984 that was the first Camaro to use aero effects. 1984 looks identical to 1982. I did not state that the Camaro was first to use aero effects but it was responsible for making it popular on a mass market vehicle. That Lotus was not a mass market vehicle but rather a low volume speciality…
These cars were pretty low to the ground believe it or not. There are definitely added pieces the Z28s. Base models and Berlinettas had bare rolled under rocker panels and high front and rear lower bumper cover edges. The ground effects were redesigned for 1985 z28s to extend lower that the first versions.
We can pretty much blame the 1982 Camaro Z28 for popularizing factory ground effects kits.
I mean just look at that mess. It looks like it's missing the front bumper cover with the impact beam left exposed. I expect this look after a collision.
The Mustang has been taking Thunderbird territory ever since its 1964 debut. The original inception of what eventually became the Mustang was based off Iacocca’s early idea to take Thunderbird two-seater bodies and fit them on Falcon platforms. Meanwhile Thunderbird created demand for sporty low-slung personal four…
Like someone else said other Alpha cars have good visibility. The Buick Avista concept was based on a functional Alpha platform. Like any redesign in order to improve visibility and other aspects of the Camaro, the body will have to be restyled. Engineers have restyled vehicles on similar platforms for decades. It’s…
Before 1980 when I got my 76 Cobra II, the only cars I ever drove were my Aunt’s 76 Mercury Bobcat (of which I learned to drive a stickshift), my step-mother’s 78 Dodge Colt Carousel coupe, my father’s 76 Ford Econoline van, my step-mother’s 80 Dodge Diplomet sedan (which I got my driver’s license in) and my high…
Funny because the Mustang IIs true competitor was the Chevy Monza. Ford pretty much abandoned the Camaro as a competitor by then. The Camaro itself narrowly escaped being discontinued after 1974. Prototypes of the Monza 2+2 at one point wore Camaro nameplates. Slow sales, high insurance premiums, poor fuel economy and…
Because Ford managed to provide good outward visibility in the Mustang. Yes it's possible.
