Suppose I have to agree that the Rover SD1 looks good... For a Rover. But there are plenty of similar cars of its time period that look better than it.

Like this :D

Given that your life is mostly spent in the late 1950s, I don't find that feeling so unusual.

Was. Was mostly spent.

Yeah I like to have fun.

Did somebody say 50's? Well kinda, it's the Ford FR-100, a suped up Ford F-100, it also happens to be the best vehicle in Blur

The problem with most cars nowadays is that they all look like some kind of shoe.

this. i hate the look of most modern cars. i like the appearance of the old Land Rover Defender because you can pretty much throw a bucket of paint over one and get away with it, seeing as it's usually covered in shit anyway.

I found this rather interesting, the General Lee paint job on a modern day Dodge Charger

You know what, I'm going to throw this one in here.

The 1984 Mercury Cougar. I only went to look up this car because I remember my mom driving one when I was practically a baby. Up until '91 or so in fact.

She says that the commercial is what sold her in '84. She said just the other day that it was the new sleek looks that hooked her, like nothing she'd ever seen at the time. Her excuse for buying one was that my childseat wouldn't fit into my dad's Porsche, so they needed a Family Car. This was it, and I remember it well. :)

Yeah, so anyway, If I can work a deal, this is going to be my next car: The 1961 Imperial by Chrysler

Like most Yank cars, the interior on that Chrysler is awful!!!!!!!!
Speaking of Chrysler, I have the misfourtune of seeing the advert on TV for this awful thing lately, the Delta
http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezfl...cd_gallery.jpg
Though in my opinion there is only ONE DELTA
http://www.arrowsf1.co.uk/user/sites...ia%20delta.jpg

For some reason though at the moment I have an obbsession for this, commonly known as the "Bluesmobile"

I nearly shit myself the other day whenever I seen a car. The driving side was on the left side. In Northern Ireland. With a Donegal (R.O.I.) license plate.

Pilot 09-11-2011 09:33 AM

The only thing I don't like about the Imperials starting in 1961 is that damn square steering wheel.

Yeah, you never hear about the Dodge Monaco EXCEPT in reference to the Bluesmobile.

JennyGenesis 09-11-2011 09:35 AM

The square steering wheel is your only gripe? The entire interior is a mess!

Pilot 09-11-2011 09:40 AM

Of course it is, this is from an era of sheer excess in styling. These designs were polarizing even when they were new. Some saw massive ugly excess and other saw new cutting edge spage age styling. Not much has changed.

JennyGenesis 09-11-2011 09:56 AM

One of the most important cars in automobile history for me

Here's a 1956 Dodge on ebay that my friend really wants.

The trim division on these cars easily allows for three-tone color schemes, thought this was EXPENSIVE for the factory to do. If I had one, mine would be Red, Black, and White.

Notice the left-hand keyboard control automatic transmission.

JennyGenesis 09-13-2011 12:49 AM

LOL at the massive brake pedal!

Seeing that car sort of reminds me of this, probably the color and similar looks.
