  1. Much like the stock over speculation, I think the takeover appeal of Tesla is overstated
  2. ^ That first grey Pontiac is indeed a GP, 1963. Gorgeous design, and a trend-setter. - - - - - Friend of mine's '55, runs a 502CI :
  3. Back to the original HQ? I always liked that building, have been in the lobby.
  4. Another piece I saw on this news said if you go by badging, the count is actually 90. I agree with DD; that that's misleading and they're all the same cars, not different models, and frankly I never got the unilateral approach to naming the same car differently depending entirely on it's engine for absolutely everything.
  5. The talking order clown at Burger World's drive-thru is a better CEO than Musk.
  6. Yes & yes; Uhaul lesbian hookers, Anderson Cooper did a piece on them a couple years back.
  7. After reading back thru this thread, seeing all the peeps who wandered off this board --some of them fully 9 years ago!-- I threw up a new background 'toast' to old conversations :
  8. It just struck me about the opening pic: that’s a pretty demure outfit for a prostitute. I guess in 2019, they should be able to dress however they see fit/ makes them comfortable rather than how ‘street society’ tells them they have to.
  9. With horrific losses & cratered sales, it should be in Ford’s price tier. I’m not convinced Tesla is going to survive I pity those who brought @$35x/share!
  10. Hold out- it’s far from its bottom yet...
  11. ‘57. I see emblems on front fender; means Coupe deVille vs. Series 62 coupe.
  12. I change my desktop about twice a year. I got more importance stuffs to do. This has been up- I don't know how long :
  13. I don't think working or even building an English Wheel is all that "rare". Eastwood sells them, among others, I have seen build threads on them, and have been in at least 1 shop that has/uses one. I myself have not used one, but I understand how they are used. - - - - - I have a great tailgate idea for sale if GM (or FoMoCo or FCA) is buying- guarantee it'll be the next 'box buzz' if it were brought out. There's even a vintage Chevy / GMC nameplate that would work great for it. I certainly could use my idea at work, if it were available.
  14. ^ WAY overpriced & not selling. Might be a long while before you see another.
  15. These 2 are modern takes on the proposed 1948 Tucker Excelsior half-cab cargo truck ~
  16. Prolly go to my grave having never used any of them. I think I’ve been in 2-3 taxis & 1 limo. Plus the ‘64 Sedan de Ville I hired for my wedding ?
  17. Confirmation from the photographer- the Ford was a local lumber delivery truck. Pretty cool in a 'blunt instrument' sort of way. If you note the VW was a production pickup but it's cut left of center, whereas the Ford was built 'cut' right of center- a LOT more load area on the Ford, aside from the wider width overall. VW added a cheapie extra 'windshield' to take up the width, instead of a new piece of (flat) glass. The Ford is on a 1-ton chassis and also has a 'pickup bed' below deck. The VW is very light duty- should probably stick to hay bales rather than steel.
  18. You house shopping, Robert? If so- happy hunting! - - - - -
  19. ^ It was a rough time, that's for sure.
  20. I like FLW's work, but I still think a LOT of it is overrated. A LOT. This is his Arizona retreat- the masonry work is terrible and frankly- the whole thing (I've looked thru an extensive pictorial on it) is heavy-handed.
  21. Wait - isn't a mere 500 units equal to "no one buys them" ??
  22. Just curious; how many do you think would sell, when you continually claim "no one" bought the ATS and CTS??
