I like the way the ad states at the bottom:

"Cost & Efficiency

"Safety

Has to be the fastback.

My favourite is the 67-68 fastback.

Not bad, though the overspray under the bonnet (on the hinge springs, etc.) is a little off-putting, and 29 mpg on a run sounds a tad optimistic.

Spotted one of these in St John's Wood earlier, not exciting by any stretch of the imagination, it looked quite cool though with the ill-fitting British plates and doddery looking old boy behind the wheel :D

That's a real slice of American cheese - Chrysler LeBaron convertible, unless I'm much mistaken...

It had an exotic Maserati-engined sister, the Chrysler TC:

With a Cosworth cylinder head, no less.

I have had a few Le-barons that shape, one was the 2.2 turbo and another was a 3.0 v6 Mitsubishi engine IIRC, they have shocking build quality !

The one to have is an early 80's turd (preferably with fake wood ) as used in planes trains automobiles by John Candy, I would smoke one of those !!

Jeez I'm a sick c0ont :)

I've got a bit of a thing for yank trucks. We used to have a few come into my old work, this one was definitely the coolest, even though I'm a bit young to remember 'Fall Guy'
