Just download VSO resizer. It's free and very simple and a minimalist program. Once it's resized, you load it into your Carspace page (www.carspace.com, if you don't have one), by putting it into your photo albums. Once in your albums, you open the pic so as to get the URL, then past the URL in here using the "img" button below (click once, paste, then click again).
CAUTION: the Carspace URL might have a few extra characters in it after the word "jpg". Get rid of those of the photo won't post here. You need to see this symbol "> at the end of the URL.
Do right click on the picture and note the pixels in width and height.
The maximum width is 650.
Past the link to picture. Select the whole thing and click IMG.
At the end will be a " and a > sign. Between them insert a space and then the word width="650" height="XXX"
To determine XXX divide 650 by the width of your picture. That gives a ratio: e.g., .2359. Then multiply that ratio times the height of your picture. That is the XXX that gets inserted.
Be sure to use the quote signs around the numbers.
Your picture of the motor home is 1024 x 768
So 650/1024 = .634765625 Multiply that times 768 = 487
So your post for that IMGage would look like this:
1972 AMC Matador - at least that was the first year the Matador was shown on Adam-12. That style lasted from 1971-73. In 1974, they gave the car an ugly "Jimmy Durante" snout.
And, if I'm reading the plate frame correctly, the car came from Galpin Ford in Van Nuys -- home of the infamous "GAS" (Galpin Auto Sports) folks who appear on "Pimp My Ride".
Can't get to the reply button. Yeah the funky RV is a Vixen with the BMW Turbo diesel and a manual trans. Apparently they only made them for two years with the BMW diesel and only for three or four years total. The BMW models did have a lift up roof to give six feet four inches of head room.
Funky looking thing but kind of cool. I don't particularly care for RVs but I like that one. If I ever got an RV it would have to be an old airstream or something funky like that Vixen.
Hmhh wonder how much trouble it would be to put a modern BMW turbo diesel in it... Would more then double the HP and about triple the torque.
Yup, it's a '76 Country LTD Squire from Car Wash. I'd forgotten about all the Lincolnesque junk they loaded onto top-of the line Fords back then. It might've seemed like a good idea at the time but it's an object lesson in how to blow the cred of a luxury brand.
This is the deluxe edition with hide away headlights, it was the loaded edition of the famous LTD Station Wagon, and the one I had was equipped with a 400 C.I. V8 and a rather large 2 bbl. carburetor. It was a huge car, lots of room and a great highway cruiser for long road trips. Best mileage I ever saw at speeds of 85 to 90 mph was 17 mpg! Not bad, considering the lack of high tech computers, fuel injection or any fancy economizer gadgets. If I could buy a brand new one today, I would!
That's the Fox-chassis Lincoln Continental, 1982-84. Basically a Fairmont dressed up to ape the bustle-back Seville, but I think it's got some style nonetheless.
It's an '86 Lincoln Continental, another nail in the credibility of the Lincoln brand, a Lincoln that imitates a Cadillac that was itself a bad imitation of a stuffy old Rolls Royce. :sick: :lemon:
Putting it on the Fairmont platform didn't help either.
What impresses me are the paint jobs' quality and how much of the 'chrome' (especially the bumpers) looks realistic, unlike most models. And this guy has the photography down pat, very realistic.
Not great advertising for the guy they gave it to.
"According to a New York Times article, the car was given to Dwight Foster who owns a company that sells a rust removal chemical. He figured if he could bring the Belvedere back to life it would be one hell of a promotion. Well, two years later it's still pretty much a basket case as much of the car is too fragile to even work on."
I think the Times is wrong because the 57 had a full length tailtight lens where the 58 had the small circular one below the chrome spear like this one appears to have.
Actually it's probably in no worse shape than it would have been after five years on the salted roads. Mopars were not known for resistance to rust or build quality back then. '58 was the worst of the worst for body integrity---which is why you see so few. I like them better than just about any other '58 American car, though.
The picture of the Toyota Crown/Crown Comfort/Comfort taxis (and given the trim and badges differ a bit I think it's a mix) was taken I think in Hong Kong.
OK, from these pictures it is obviously a '57, but the site itself lost some credibility with me when they titled the picture of the mint green car (about 1/2 way down the page) "A somewhat better-preserved Belvedere...". that car is at best the Savoy trim level, and I think it's actually a Plaza (bottom level) with some sort of trim option; it lacks the trim piece that came down diagonally at about the middle of the front door, not to mention that on the Savoy the part of the body back of that diagonal piece and below the horizontal trim is usually painted a contrasting color (although that was probably an option).

We should see it here as the Infiniti QX, and possibly also a new Armada.
I like the Patrol name, though.
