Here is something borrowed and blue. I am sure that ocnblu will like it.

@ocnblu is the best at this. He got the Avalanche too. 2017 Chrysler 300C, AWD, white with the linen interior. CarPlay, heated/ventilated seats, pano sunroof, adaptive cruise with lane keep assist. 18,700 miles for $24k

I didn't think of that. Before 1970, the 6s would have produced sufficient horsepower to power that car ... hmm, 230 or 250? Also, since it's obviously in FL, I hope that it had A/C. I wonder if they ordered even the base models without A/C at the time of this car. - - - - - Spotted today. Couldn't believe it. Unusual color. In terms of photo quality, I'll take what I can get before it darted off.

One of my mom's BFs had a beautiful '72 Monte in Burnt Orange, it was about two yerrs old at that point. Black vinyl top, saddle vinyl buckets. Example:

Moltie's sarcasm sensor has been on the fritz for years. Of course it's a Skylark but it's pointed at the moon, hence my "Apollo" comment. SMH sigh

Pumpkin-colored, impeccably-clean '72 Monte Carlo.

^ Probably correct, tho I note it's also missing it's 'Chevrolet' grille script. Owner may have removed those emblems. Gonna go out on that limb and guess this has 8 slugs under the hood now.

A lot of low-price cars in this era had cloth standard. Vinyl was an upgrade. Not sure about the Biscayne, but I got your wording that IF it had vinyl...

There are no non-sequiturs in Random Thoughts.

• The I-6s were woefully weak, pre-'71 and post-'71. But the switch to lower compression didn't hurt them much- they already were very low compression, My dad had a '62 Biscayne I-6 / PowerGlide, he's always referred to it as "dangerously slow". • I believe circa '68 the 235 grew to 250 CI. • A/C is going to be uncommon on a Biscayne, even on FL. Hard to relate to today, but these really were (commonly) stripped, super price-conscience basic transports. • In '67, Chevy built 92K Biscaynes, and 54K were 6s (in the heat of muscle cars and 33 cents/gal gas).

Sweet...sounds like a good deal.

I figured that was what you meant, just chose not to address it and play it literal... I'm not sure the significance of Balthy's non sequitur comment, though.

NYSHE ONE!

Yes, both are fine.

Looks like a '68-69 Skylark.

Calm down there, Bill; it's Sunday.

Well I think this one was likely born a six cylinder, due to the lack of a "V" with crossed flags fender emblem.

Yeah, that's a '76 Dodge Coronet Bro-ham...

Not quite feeling it....could be good on a truck though!

Just like the "cybertruck" (is it tangible or not?), I was thinking the early BMW images of the giant nostrils was a farce. But no. See below; remember when folk would sit in the sun with those folding reflective tanning boards? The rest of it looks straight out of 2005. - - - - - Gonna leave this here...

Over Labor Day weekend I went to Deep Creek Maryland and rented a cottage on a farm away from the main resort area. Had a nice restful vacation with some hiking and a lot of sleeping in. But we also went to the nearby town of Oakland which has a small transportation museum in it.
