gorgeous. it was in mint condition. and it was mint green. :) like this:http://www.oldwoodies.com/img/amazon/mcc_48chrysler_150.jpg

I love classic cars. I think the lines are so much better than the body styles we have now.

uh...so this thread can be about classic cars or anything else you think "they don't make em like they use to"...

My fucking father sold it out from under me. (n)

why do levi's jeans look so stupid nowadays. i want a pair of straight leg levi jeans from the 70's or 80's. new jeans always have this stupid looking denim that looks so crappy and cheap.... and they have the nerve to charge $50-$70 for this cheap crap

Funny it looks just like a Suburu BRAT from back in the days..
Which looked like a mini El Camino....

I liked it better when people didn't care about safety, and they'd put seats in the bed straight from the factory..

no, no.... no
the el camino is a straight rip of an australian ute. the you-beaute was invented way before the el camino.

Lambos are neat to look at, but fucking horrid to drive. Here's the SV that ran Gumball a few years ago. Fucking hotter than hell inside that car, and the smell of gas is constant. Not to mention the clunkety clunk of the trans, and the fact that you can hardly hear yourself think because of the engine directly behind your head with very little insulation (hence hotter than hell).

Anyway here it is all stickered up. I hated that they made you put every fucking sticker on it.Made us feel so cheap.

Mary cruised the entire trip with us. She's the best.

Lambo has been gone, and now we cruise slow....well, slower.

38 Ford, all original steel and trim. Small Block Chevy and a few gizzmos.

And no, they don't make'em like they used to.
