  1.  @cbialorucki  said " I wish newer diesel pickups were exempt from crazy environmental regulations. " Right on man !!! Why should I have to spend $$$ on a delete and tune so I can smoke out minions in their little cars. I want a factory smoke button. I also want factory tires sticking out beyond the fenders so I can kick up rocks breaking windshields of these cars as well. FREEDOM !!!!!

  2. New kia logo = the " Nine Inch Nails " logo pushed together.
    40
  3. I think it was GM ( Cobalt or similar design ) and China's " Chery " company
    21
  4. In the 80's Chrysler made a factory limo from the K car using the rear of a 2 door and the front of a 4 door.
    16
  5. These cars started to fall apart / not work in the mid 80's so this one has survived pretty well.
    16
  6. You just described Wallmart
    12
  7. " .. Back in the SS , back in the SS back in the SSR. . . "

  8. And the Gen 1 SLK was based on a shortened W202 ( C class from 1992 to 2001 )
    8
  9. Look at the 1956 Plymouth , Chevy and Ford cars in the USA. they are all very similar.
    6
  10. Then you MUST be against altering old cars in ANY way. Keep the bias ply tires, single circuit brake system , no modern engines or fuel injection , original drum brakes all around.

  11.  @adp5R3x  You are forgetting that old gas cars in the day frequently caught fire too.

  12. Sounds like Jackie' Stewart
    5
  13. And the J,C. Whitney fake CB antenna and cell phone antenna. I think there was even a fake call phone handset. In the black Benz limo with the cellular phone I'm calling up the posse it's time to get rippin'
    5
  14. This sounds like the complete opposite of " The Worlds Most Interesting Man " beer ads.
    5
  15. I thought that " Ami 6 " meant " Gay Parre "

  16. Concerning the heat, if the car does not have a valve on the heater inlet hose, put one on it and the interior temps will go down dramatically. If it has a factory valve, be sure that it is actually closing.
    4
  17. And Kia / Hyundai having the tail lights and turn signals separated by a foot or so. Another issue are turn signals inside the headlights, this leads to washed out turn signals / weak visible light as the entire lens does not light up like a separate turn signal.

  18. Time 240 Also trying to look like a 1997 + E class Mercedes with it's " Little Orphan Annie " creepy headlights.

  20. 1:01 Even cameras are so small in Europe it takes 3 to get the whole car. 1:25 70's disco / pimpin / cop show / pnro music 3:11 Why are so many Euro streets / driveways / sidewalks made from modern bricks? Also, why do Euro repair garages seem to have tile floors?

  24. What's the matter with the car I'm driving? "Can't you tell that it's out of style?" Should I get a set of white wall tires? "Are you gonna cruise a miracle mile? Nowadays you can't be too sentimental You best bet's a true baby-blue Continental"

  25. in 2002 Ford auctioned off many concept cars from the past. Also, the only steel bodied Corvette was rescued from the crusher some time back. The car was in a GM warehouse in the UK for some reason. ( the car used a Porsche 914-6 as a basis but had a rotary engine and auto trans. )

  26. At least on the 55 / 56 cars, move the interior door handle in one direction and the door opens, move it in the other direction and the door locks.
    3
  27. Something else to think about, EV conversions will bring non car people into the fold. Not everyone has the skill or access to a mechanic / parts to keep old stuff going. Plus, old cars tend to sit unused for long periods of time which is detrimental to a gas engine but not an issue with an EV. Also, as more and more cars come on the market, there is a saturation point where the supply outstrips people willing to maintain an " old " car.
    3
  28. There is a racing series called 24 Hours Of Lemons for " $ 500 " cars, someone built an accurate replica on a BMW chassis and raced it.

  30. Time 636 The 1976 Lincoln beat Tesla by many decades. . . . . .
    3
  31. In the mid 90's ( and probably before and after ) Mercedes had a" Designo " package where you could pick limited paint / interior colors.
    3
  32.  @alan-sk7ky  There are some cars in the USA that turn off the day time running light when a turn signal is operated. I haven't seen any yet that turn off the headlight. Turning off the headlight might be an issue if the opposite headlight has failed.

  33. Robot Cantina has done that

  34. One is the Baker electric, Jay Leno has one with a modern drive train and battery.

  36. Time 1720 CitiCar The extended bumpers ( front and rear ) also housed the lead acid batteries. They used to be under the seats. Also note that the bumpers were rubber coated wood. . ..

  37. I have an antenna ball from the " Good Sam Club " Think auto club rescue / assistance for Campers / Motorhomes . Powered Wind up key, it is going the wrong way. And, does anyone in the internet generation know what a wind up key is? Headlights Don't forget chrome eyebrows / half covers of the top. Traffic light viewer From what I recall, there was also a version that stuck to the top inside of the windshield , it was pretty much a chunk of plastic Car Dolls. There is also a wooden / painted version typically found in the USA where grandma is in her bloomers weeding the garden. Another is a cowboy smoking a cigarette / big foot profile cutout painted black.

  38. Factory limos were more of less a 4 door cut off at the rear of the rear doors to generate a front half. Then a 2 door cut off just behind the rear of the door to generate the back half.

  39.  @PedroConejo1939  Citroen SM , the car that the Bionic Man would drive. . . . . .
    2
  40. I'd counter this with the 1956 Plymouth , Chevy and Ford all looking very similar.
    2
  41.  @jetsons101  The 55 ( mini fins ) / 56 ( larger fins ) Plymouth had wrap around windshields so the A pillar was more like a backwards L. If one knows what to look for the Ply / Chev / Ford have detail differences but the side profile is pretty much the same. In another thread someone brought up the 56 Packard. If a car looks too different for the times , it won't sell or is called a loser and it is patently unfair to hammer auto makers when they take a risk. See the Chrysler Air Flow where few trusted cars that were not square / PT Cruiser / Pontiac Aztec < interesting that the Pontiac Vibe sold well even though it was a mini Aztec. The AMC Gremlin sold well oddly enough but I think this was down to it being a small car in the traditional sense compared to a Japanese car.

  42. Cue Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man "

  47.  @SomeOne_86  Please define Horrible to drive. Bad as in compared to other cars of that era or bad to drive compares to cars from say 30 years ago?
    2
  48.  @duckrutt  The PT only shares a few front suspension bits with the Neon. The PT ( Plymouth Truck as it was an evolution of the Plymouth Pronto concept car) it is classified as a multi use vehicle due to removable rear seats and flat load floor. The 2.4 16 valve engine was an evolution of the 2.2 / 2.5 from the K car. They are not bad cars but are designed to a price point as a way to bump up truck fuel economy averages.

  49. In the mid 80's Chevy Nova = Toyota Corolla

  50. New kia logo = the " Nine Inch Nails " logo pushed together.

  52. 14:39 Looks like the rear pod detached from the front and the front lowers it's rear wheels. Kind of like a James Bond villain detachable boat or the " Boater Home "
    2
  53.  @dennis885600  And the car might not have tinted glass. Still, if you don't have an operational valve on the heater hose, you will have hot air leaking through the air diverter flaps and into the car.

  54. See the vid " Lincoln Ads - Saturday Night Live "

  63. In the 2000 era, a British classic car magazine generated a pic of a convertible Alfa Romeo Montreal as well as a few other versions of cars that were never built.
    1
  64. What is an Influential Car ? I say the Chrysler PT cruiser because few cars elicit such a response from the tin foil hat set that has never worked on or driven the car. The cars are easy to work on if you are a COMPETENT MECHANIC. Runner ups are any EV or Hybrid .

  67. 10:20 Longest limo. There is a vid on the net where this car was found and was being brought back into shape. It is in very rough shape and is more or less a hack as there isn't any interior or floor along most of the cars length.

  75. Engine swap. The most direct route is to use the Mercedes V8 as this is very near a plug and play ( As long as you program the VIN into the V8 ECU )

  76. There have been issues with gas charged bumper shocks exploding in a fire.

  90. How about some concept trucks ? ( Pick ups and over the road trucks ) Ford / GM in the 50's and up , Mercedes in the late 80's early 90's ( one had a 3 bladed windshield wiper on a single pivot ) and the really obscure " Steinwinter Supercargo 2040 "
