For laughs, how about this new decoration for my Jeep. My sister took a cutting of our Mom’s Rhodedendron (was planted over 50 years ago).

Glad you were able to buy that bike, @Drew Dowdell…great to finally meet you after knowing you here for like 17-18 years. Had a good auction today. Very emotional day for my sister and I. I have a sense of closure and relief now that it is over.

@trinacriabobdo I even want to know why you posted her? also, I did a thing. I’ll make it its own thread once I get it home 1999 BMW R1100RS this was from @Robert Hall’s brother’s estate

Good morning ...

The body style is what made them sell. I think that, once people had owned one or two, the craze faded and the market shifted. And it also shifted away from overly American "Brougham" interiors. I'd love to find one if I wanted to get a second car. I would be happy to just pull off the early days CCC apparatus and see if a "one squirter" TBI unit could be fitted on top of the engine instead of a carburetor. But early CCC was quirky.

Seen yesterday ... I thought I was dreaming! This made me miss my '84 Cutlass Supreme (Brougham) coupe all the more. It may not have been as reliable as my more recent cars since it had the old school carbureted V6, but it was probably the most comfortable and possibly even the car I've liked the most. They've called it "America's Sweetheart" and said it "sold like hotcakes" in articles about the Cutlass when it was a top seller. It's either an '85 or '86, per the grille and CMSL. I'd know an '84 and it wasn't an '87 with the updated front headlights. They decked it out nicely on the outside with (non body color ... even better) rally wheels and the padded landau vinyl roof, but the interior had manual crank windows, a strip speedometer, and the basic cloth bench seat with an armrest. It had the Olds 5.0 (307 c.i.) V8 and, in that span of years and in this type of car, it didn't get any better than that. That's an heirloom engine. Sightings like this seem to make a day a little better.

Always a good candidate for a connect and cruise option. Modern Powertrain.

That is an awesome car. Hope a few survive to get electrified and keep running. Love the body style.

Very cool modernized autos with crate motors. A Performance Pair (theblock.com)

Saw this GMC, not sure of the year, but cool to see today.
