The brand had cachet
It was a master of the road
I am usually not a fan of wheeled battleships, but the clamshells have some appeal for what they are

One of these has been for sale locally...good luck
Cute compact
I'm pretty sure that if I had one, I couldn't just walk into any AutoZone or NAPA store and ask them "Do you carry an alternator for a 1978 Renault 17 Gordini?"
Gordini was a tuner of note in the 60s. Renault Gordini rallye cars were kinda fun.
Back in the 50s Gordini was a constructor of Formula One race cars.
Boy those old Buicks with the sidemounts were great weren't they? It's too bad Buick stylists lost the sense of what a Buick should look like sometime in the 80s.
That '39 Lancia Aprilia is a little cutie isn't it?

Also a lot of pre-1971 Mustangs...in town for the show.
Also the Newport and Monaco are neat, resoanbly priced too imo.

Yeah, that was a great looking car.
I love old Buicks. It's a pity what passes for one these day.
saw a mint red/white nash metropolitan exiting the highway.
looked like a handfull to drive.
a late 70's buick wagon. body looked great. had turbine style wheels.
yesterday, i drove by a car show in the local sears parking lot.
i did see a late 60's charger in a metallic mustard color and i white early 60's
oldsmobile bubbletop.
i was too fried after sitting in the sun at yankee stadium all afternoon, to want to stop to see what else was there.
Sure looked cool though.

couple of 70ish chevelles, a 55 210 panal wagon, a .29 highboy and another similar vintage 2 door sedan. A few other oldies that I don't remember.
but, the absolute pinnacle of weird (I wish my wife had ehr camera handy). A 50sish Power wagon.
Actually, make that about 1/4 a power wagon. The top half, and the front 1/2.
Saw ti from behind, and couldn't figure out what it was. Very low (miataish), with a small PU bed on back (maybe 2 feet long) with a rounded cab and long hood.
when I passed it, realized it was th hood and cab from a PW, but sliced down the middle and channelled over some frame, with an abbreviated bed. Big engine with large headers out the side. ROof was chopped also.
very strange looking (odd proportions), but truly bizarre at 65 on the highway.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Actually, on second thought, I did see a 1969-70 Sedan DeVille, dark green, in nice shape, and a black 1979-81 Trans Am with a for sale sign in the window, when I took my '76 LeMans out for a spin...I think I've mentioned them before though...so nothing new and exotic to report.

Were both headlights closed?
Hmmmmm something odd going on there. I've never seen one with both headlights closed.

Except... had these funky fender skirts, like you'd see on a late '60s, early '70s DeVille or Town Car... or, even on an Electra... but, too small to be an Electra.. Maybe had them custom made?

I like the '83 5th Ave, too. Not my favorite color, but somehow it works on that car. And I find myself perversley attracted to that 1981 Olds Cutlass Supreme sedan. That's the mid-level LS, but the interior looks about equivalent to my 1982 Cutlass Supreme coupe, which had that same style off corduoroy-looking cloth. So I'm guessing that trim level became the base for 1982. Kinda makes me wonder then, how cheap the base Cutlass was for 1981? :confuse: I'm still afraid of that era 231, because mine blew up around 73K miles. But, at that rate, this one still has about 38K miles left in her...possibly longer if babied. I like the color-keyed rally wheels, and the fact that it doesn't have a vinyl roof.
I don't like some details of that car. It looks like it has tinted windows, and they look terrible IMO. Interior carpet on the transmission hump looks wrong. Dash pad looks weird. I've never seen a black steering wheel hub pad. Paint on inner fenders in engine compartment looks flat black instead of the correct body color enamel. Trunk shouldn't be carpeted. If you are going to sink that kind of money into something, get the details right. I have a hard time buying that 80 grand quote, unless labor was billed at hundreds per hour.
The Chrysler color combo is very mid-80s, it suits the car, yeah. The Olds color combo is nice, and I agree about the lack of a vinyl roof being a plus - I think the same when it is absent on 79-85 Eldos.
'60 Fiat 1100- Millecentos are considered minor classics by aficionados of small cars. My in-laws had one when my FIL was stationed in Europe. This car was passed from one GI to another as people were transfered in and out of their post. They remember it fondly.
'61 Merc 220sb- I've never heard of the D-B Automatic clutch gearbox. Anyone know anything about it?
Nice collection this week, Fin, with plenty of stuff from what I consider the Golden Age (early 1960s)
'65 Merc "pickup"- It's sacrilege but I think this little "truck" is cool.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
It is not a bad system if one uses it completely by the book, but it does not tolerate abuse. It is interesting 1950s technology, but requires some discipline to keep operational.
I don't see the pickup as anything bad. There are endless W110s still rotting away today, and nobody is ever going to save them. As long as the donor car wasn't something important - no harm done. Puts one back on the road, and it's fun.
I like the first gen Civic. The seller will have to find a Honda nut to buy it though.
The E55 AMG wagon looks sharp. But it looks like some kind of grey import. Even the VIN plaque is different. I wonder too.
I can't beleive someone paid $14k for that chop top 4X4 Cutlass.
Packard is indeed dumb. Is the seller looking to attract the tuner crowd with the lambo doors?
2016 Audi A7 3.0T S Line, 2021 Subaru WRX
I suspect 14K will never change hands for that Cutlass.

Saw another woman driving a pristine looking W115 diesel...tobacco brown. She was the age I would expect of someone who drives such a car :shades:
Also saw a couple of young guys in a ca. 73 Ford LTD 2 door, the hardtop style with a thick C-pillar, no opera windows. It was a putrid period yellow with a brown vinyl top, and it looked fairly immaculate.
1970ish Plymouth GTX, orange with matte black hood, in very good shape, no obvious defects from 40 or 50 feet away.
1969 Mustang Mach One, blue w gold stripe, black hood, shape comparable to the GTX but seen from further away,

I picked up a set of Mirada alloy rims at Carlisle, so with any luck, soon my car will look kinda like this.
I think some wire hubcaps are okay, if they have enough depth to them, and don't stick out too far. The ones on my grandmother's '85 LeSabre were fairly classy as far as those things go. And I think the ones on Lemko's Brougham look decent on the car. But the wire hubcaps the 5th Ave uses just seemed like they stuck out too far, merely bringing attention to the fact that they were fake.
Buick made a rally wheel that was common on the 1980-84 Electra, and later B-body wagons, that looked a bit like what the General Lee used. I would have loved to have snagged a set for Grandma's LeSabre when I had that car! Or even those older 5-spoke "magnum" style rally wheels would've been cool.
However, I don't remember ever seeing a pink Mustang convertible. Was that a Mary Kay car?
