Local show (my '40 was supposed to go to; GRRR) gorgeous '62 GP ~

I don't have as much an issue with that. Benz and Audi don't put their name on the car, just the logo.

Sounds like it could be another week of negotiations. UAW still not being reasonable and GM is holding strong after last offer because they know if they give the UAW everything they want it will be a painful 4+ years. Chatted with my Cadillac dealer buddy who said they were supposed to get 3 CT6-V Blackwing's by Oct. 9th, now delayed because of this ridiculous UAW BS. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2019/09/29/gm-strike-uaw-update-status/3788205002/

Talk about a car you or I would never fit in??

Respectively, I don’t think so, Tim. If mitshu could go thru numerous scandalous revelations on corporate negligence and still be selling vehicles (somehow), I don’t see cause for a majority to ‘simply go out of business’. Especially Ford (we know you hate the Co.).

Out and about this afternoon saw a matte black '55 Chevy Bel Air ht street machine..no front bumper, wide rear tires, on Centerlines, a sharp dark blue '69/70 Grand Prix, a clean early 70s bright red Camaro, and a clean gold early 80s Sedan de Ville. Some of the '66-67s were built w/ a fiberglass hood w/ scoop. Saw one at Barrett-Jackson auction a few years ago in Scottsdale. Here's a '67:

I knew of the '63-64-ish 427 Fairlane Thunderbolts, but they were factory race cars, not really RPO. Good info dfelt!

Now ya got my curiosity perked, https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ultra-rare-1967-ford-fairlane-427-comes-out-of-hiding-after-25-years/ Had no idea only 57 of the 1966 Fairlane were built with the 427 and only 230 built for the 1967 year. Very cool read on this guys mission to find and finally buy 1 of 2 rare 1967 427 Fairlane with Tach and 4 sp manual. According to this, and I hate quoting wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fairlane_(Americas) The 1967 convertible could be ordered up with the 427 which was only available with the XL package. This very well could be factory as the hood scoop came with the dual quad carburetor's. Very cool indeed and rare.

I dunno; this is a Maserati : No one buys an AMG to street race other cars.

Hmmm. Italian and electric. Not a good combination. Hopefully will come with an on-board fire suppression system.

My dogs are driving me nuts right now.....

You guys are quick to glutton and band all the the brands together- they need to just die on their own. There is nothing wrong with teaming up-that is the future. Companies like Mazda or Ford would simply just go out of business, and what little successful products they have other companies can just pick the bones of. I also expect China to get into the cheap car game very soon, putting many companies on both notice and out of business (and we wonder why GM is fighting the UAW). I’ve said it before, and will say it again-the day of the car (or truck) is dying...you’ll NEVER see the same sales number of a few years ago. With a society that can bring everything to your door, there is no longer a needed expense for a vehicle. And with the current price, student debt, and upcoming recession-who can blame them? Times are going to change ...more than folks expect...... Over half the companies you see now will either be gone (or bought by China to brand image their cheap cars). Vehicles are going the same way as brick and mortar retail........
