I do think the '82-83 Malibu looks nice, but in general they weren't as nicely trimmed inside. The '82-84 Regal and '82-87 Cutlass Supreme sedans could be nice inside. But, I thought the Regal sedan/wagon's front-end looked a bit awkward. And, I wasn't so crazy about the way the rear sloped off on the Regal/Cutlass sedans. It made them look a bit stubby, whereas I thought the longer rear deck on the Malibu and Bonneville G made the cars look a bit longer and better-proportioned.

and today, near the house, a well restored Packard four hundred 2 door. White top and lower, coral pink center. Nice looking car for the day actually.

Cool to see "Hemi Under Glass"--the one Jay Leno was in when it rolled over a couple or three years ago, with famous driver Bob Riggle behind the wheel at age 80. They had the video of the rollover on a loop next to the car. Riggle is from Mansfield, OH.
Dang.. my wife just went home to visit her Mom in Fort Wayne. Should have gone. Could have left her there for 24 hours, and would have just had a 4 hour round-trip from there.

Note: On Dec. 1 they are down to three buildings open, so not worth going after that until spring.

He paid something like $500 for it. It had an AMC 360 and a 4-speed stick. The cab and front clip weren't in too bad of shape, but the bed was really rusted out. He ended up pulling the bed off and building one out of wood, then loading up the old metal bed and hauling it off to get a few bucks for it, for scrap.
He painted the truck a light beige, close to the color of my old '69 Dart GT that's sitting in the foreground of this pic. Honestly, I liked the 2-tone green and white. But, he painted it himself, with a cheap spray paint gun, so he saved some money there. He sold it after a few years to one of his friends down in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, and that guy used it for years, to go hunting, rattle around on the farm, etc.

Then I couldn't see him because he was literally tailgating my truck @75+ mph.
Pulled over and he went by, but someone else jumped behind him and did the same thing to him.
I was in it for the long run, so ok letting him go by and enjoyed seeing him getting a taste of his own medicine.
Was the '76 called a Honcho?

I had no idea they made that in styles with the smooth-sided bed like the one shown in the pic, plus a fender-sided bed, a cab-and-chassis, a platform bed, a stake bed, and a dual rear wheel setup. Also Jeep built a panel van. In '65 they offered the AMC 232 6-cyl., the Buick V-6, and the old AMC 327 V-8 as engines.

According to Wikipedia, the design ran from 1962 to 1988! And a bit longer, I guess, if you factor in the Wagoneer, which ran until around 1991.
Despite the rust, I do remember my uncle's '76 feeling like a heavy, rugged truck. It made Granddad's '85 Silverado, also in that picture, feel like a tin can in comparison.

I think Mother Jones and Dateline NBC looked to this scene for inspiration, when they did their Pinto and Silverado explosions, respectively.

It was a bit of a kludge by Buick until the new '79 front-drive Riv came out, but these were nice enough for the times in their own way. Think of it as a fancy "special" LeSabre coupe. This one is very well-preserved with a lovely interior.

I like the whitewall tires better though.
