^ '63. And I just snapshot' this pic of a '62 last night :

Pontiac's "vegan leather" they used in the '60s was utterly fantastic stuff. Wore like iron. I picked up a set of white '66 buckets from a junkyard car (had just came in) in '95, cleaned them with vinegar and they looked great & sold like hotcakes.

Even car enthusiasts seems unaware that station wagon Cadillacs have been coach built pretty much every year since 1941. A lot of really nice creations have been built over the years.

Double stop intersection.

I am glad that Texas has learned NOT to depend on oil for their future. Some countries have failed to learn the same lessons Texas was forced to learn in the 1980s.

Been a very productive day. Started at 4am with some work to get done before the holidays. Then went off at 6am to Costco to get Thanksgiving stuff. Since we are in lock down till December 14th, took the early hours to get everything and my wife and I will start cooking everything early Thursday but then package it up and deliver it to the doorstep of our parents, grand parents, and kids that live in their own house. Full meal plus desserts. Once T-Day dinner is delivered, will return home to have a quiet dinner with the wife, wine and movies. I always used to drive everyone that wanted to go to the midnight Black friday sales after we rested, but this year, I do not have to do it, so Wine Away my evening! ? Back to today, got the Holiday lights up on the house for the wife to have it festive. Blew the yard and picked up all the leaves, so it is all clean. Gonna go eat lunch and then out to the garden area as it is Garlic Planting time. Have a great day everyone!

I've seen pics of this car around...the side window treatment looks very awkward..looks like they used an A-body wagon roof and rear hatch. This '72 deVille based wagon that used B-body wagon parts look better, IMO. This one was owned by Elvis. This '74 would look good w/ Escalade badges.. This Fleetwood wagon appears to have used an A-body rear roof, which looks too small and out of place, IMO..

Some things in life are best left alone. I was not aware that in 1975 there were GM certified custom coach builders and as such with full warranty this 1975 Cadillac Eldorado went from the factory to the coach builder and was converted into a station wagon before going to the Cadillac Dealer and sold with full GM warranty. This is one of 2 certified Eldorado station wagons built and blessed by GM.

Not sure which I like better. I think the 62 but I am not sure.

Some men don’t base their “manliness” against what a car looks like especially when its a company vehicle. Well, maybe you do but then again, those are issues for a shrink and not C & G to figure out.

Plenty of examples have already been given. Your “approval” of this is not necessary to make it true. Sorry but at 100mph, that would have been a shrapnel laced disaster in ANY car.

Yet you probably do not have a gas station on site at your home, maybe a holding tank for some Jersey cans, but you probably do not have an in ground with active electric gas pump on site to fuel your auto's. Yet you already have all you need to recharge and insure having a full battery pack every day from your house so there is no need to stop in the morning to fuel up. For the type of work you do, you probably have access to electrical outlets so you could always top off as they say with electrons if you needed it. Your right New Jersey away from really dense areas has far fewer charging outlets than other areas but it is growing and upon looking at the map with 1,350 public charging outlets from 455 charging stations that are Type 2 and DC fast charging. Over all there is more than enough charging stations that allows one to be able to do road trips across all of New Jersey. As @Drew Dowdell has stated before, it is a change in mentality of going from stopping to fill up the tank at the end of the day or first thing in the morning to plugging in when you get home and have a full battery pack in the morning. Of the almost 300 million auto's in the US, I doubt most of them like 85% ever really go on a road trip compared to just being driven for local errands and work. Most people can and would be just fine having an EV. I find it interesting to look at various states and see how fast things are changing. State of Texas, a land of Guns and Oil has 1,445 EV stations with 4,386 charging outlets. State of Pennsylvania has 672 EV Stations and 1,856 charging outlets. State of Florida has 1,595 EV Stations and 4,681 charging outlets. State of Alaska has 26 EV Stations and 46 charging outlets. State of California has 6,936 EV Stations and 29,194 charging outlets. Course this does not take into account how fast businesses are adding charging on site for employee use nor the fact that many never use public charging as they have a level 2 charger at home or for the frugal ones which I have many coworkers this way who say I am not going anywhere over night so why spend money when I can just plug into a 110 outlet.

Check out this 1952 Pontiac. I couldn't find it at first.

funky chicken

Ooooo, Judges...? Sorry, the correct question is; "What is a 1975 Grand Ville convertible".

And my key point is that whether you looked online, there are apparently plenty in other areas that have them so it may be a case of your situation being in the minority as opposed to the majority of folks in a state as physically small as New Jersey.

Neat GTO and Pontiac wagon... 63 Grand prix

Since I brought up old Beetles elsewhere, here's a nicely-presented / great patina'd '59 bug with the rare retractable canvas 'sunroof' and some mechanical upgrades. Has 29 hrs left on ebay, but it's 'only' been bid to $13K so far. Would anyone take a rare bug 'worth' -say- $15K, then put $65K into it (EVWest EV conversion cost)... and what would it be worth then? $65K? $50K? $25K... or $5K? - - - - -

^ It'd make an interesting project for a crate 6.2L retro-fit.

October 2020 EV West conversion cost: $50,000. I wonder how many folk will ultimately be willing to put 50 grand into a 5 grand car. And we thought putting 2 grand of rims on a 2 grand car was nuts.

Encore GX. Sized between the Encore and Envision. Buick version of the Chevy Trailblazer.

"Chevrolet & Olds & Buick can't market in the same vehicle segments! How's that ever going to work?"

At my work's parking lot. Old vs New

Cool, is it waiting for a diesel-powered tender truck to come and switch out the battery, or tow it in? Also it's so CUTE... what sort of manly drivers does Amazon hire who want to be seen in this cartoonish little fella?

Converted Ferrari's, time to convert more vintage a specialty cars to EV!

Barra has slipped a disc in her head if she thinks that 40% will be anywhere near today's 40%. She is effectively saying she expects overall sales to PLUMMET.

Please provide hard data to back up this baseless claim.

Statue... you realize the Bolt and Bolt EUV are two different vehicles, right? C'mon man, I thought you were a guru on this stuff!
