^ wiper motor. • • This is my #1 favorite P-57, and P-57s are in my top 3 for Pontiacs. 1957 Super Chief Catalina- only way it could be better is if it were a Tri-Power and had a contrasting color in the spear and/or roof. I'll even take the AR TTs. Otherwise, 1001 cheers!

Ahhh...

No; you're going to have to gloss over the 'the' and the interpretation you are giving it, Camino... tho you are 'warm' WRT the 'trick' aspect... In other words, I was forced to word it as such....

There are NOT many of this gen Safari left. Oh, to win the lottery (and to play the lottery) and hand off a solid survivor and a fat check & list, only to pick up a completely gone-over / lite resto machine ready to roll.

Add a roof rack and I'm sorely vexxed... :

Oldsmoboi ~ >>"the first or their first?"<< The question was quite purposefully stated...

^ Well, according to the wiki links, Buick designed the OHV engine and this would be circa 1900. Wiki states OHC/OHV is circa 1920.

Trick question ~ When did Chevrolet build the first DOHC, 4-valve engine?

scion really is a monstrous failure.

The P-64 is a real cherry. Was just daydreaming again today about picking up a '64 Safari for a work 'truck'... still waitin for that ship to come in so I can pull the trigger... on ANYTHING.

^ Damn straight, but stop talking sense, Z.

Nash wrecker, dealers had 'em. Google image will show a few more.

Yes, they suck.

I have some internal division on making these COEs into pickups. In general, the pick-up sourced beds are too proportionally low IMO. Some of the period wreckers had noticably higher bed sides, which better compliment the height of the cabs: Yea- that 2nd one is a car body, but the point is still illustrated. Overall tho, cheers

I didn't link to the Ramones...

Well, that's all your opinion, and you're in a strict minority there, so what's this statement worth in the Grand Scheme? 6-series is a unique body shell/interior, is it not? I have no idea if it's a shared platform (tho likely it is knowing BMW). Point is, it's a perpetual crappy seller on the average month (Oct '10 : 48 units. Oct '11 : 414). Your metric was 'it isn't worth it if they can't sell over 500 units/month', here's the same metric applied to a company you'd drink the chrome shop sludge residue from, straight. Where is your rant against terrible sales & wastes of corporate funding @ BMW? Their entry-level car sold an embarrassing 679 units in Oct '11 - that's pathetic. How is BMW going to get new customers into the 3-series when the 1 is an utter failure? :wacko:

Oh, come on!

It's not a "Volt with a nicer interior"; it's nothing like toyota's experiment at lexus with the bloated, uber-cheap CT200h - it's a dynamic design that would appeal to those who appreciate such. MPG is a footnote here in what is an emotional attraction. There's much more potential here than cold, factual come-ons. BTW; BMW felt there was a business case to build unique cars in the z4 and 6-series that sell far less than 500 units/mnth (6-series sales in Dec '10 : 70 units)

I did (tho I skipped forward a bit). To my ear it comes off not unlike a video game soundtrack. Could not stand them back in the day, same stands today, but that's just me. I need a much harder edge. Have been having an ongoing discussion with a younger friend of mine (19), and he claims the best decade overall is the '80s, and he pulls up numerous musical references to 'prove' his point. He has yet to sway my opinion. It wasn't the worst, but it wasn't all that, either.

Another LG flip. I only want to phone, text, use an alarm & calculator- I don't want/need it to do anything else. Staring at a tiny screen for a few hours a day is not my idea of livin'.

^ The rear bumper is close in style (tho too narrow), but otherwise; no.
