    56 Desoto was one of the best 50's designs. They paced the Indy 500 that year, IIRC. One of the best reads I ever read was about an American serviceman who bought a 56 DeSoto in the wilds of Iraq and managed to drive it back somehow through Turkey, and then through Europe, and then get it shipped back to the US. Forget where I read about that trip...wish i could remember. Cadillac IMHO had the best 60 design...I love what they did with Plum and Iris colored cars during this era. One of my fav. GM cars of all times was a 396 powered 65 Impala in that Iris color (Iris Mist as a Pontiac color, not sure of the Chevy name) with a white interior. Used to run around my old home town of Muncie, Indiana. Wound up on a used car lot next to a 65 Galaxie 500 Xl, White with a black vynal top and red interior. Wish that the collector car hobby paid more tribute to full sized cars. Around here, a ton of Mustangs, Camaro's, GTO's, TA's Vettes' etc. show up for cruise in's and car shows. But it is very uncommon for a fullsize car to show up any more. Chris

    Because if we punish Japanese firms the Japanese will punish American firms wanting to do buisines in Japan. Much better would be laws leveling the playing field so that American vehicles could be sold on a fair basis in Japan. Chris

    Sounds more like an alternator to me, Pauli... Chris

    +1 Agreed. Chris

    This might be far worse than anyone peviously thought...be interesting to see how other governments help their automakers. Chris

    Go to an SCCA event and watch A-Sedan, or to a NASA event and watch Camaro-Mustang Challenge, or American Iron. Best part is if you pay a years dues (SCCA is about $75 for an individual, or $100 for a family for a year) you get into unlimited races free for the year. Or, do as I did and work as a corner worker. You get up close to the action, and they feed you at the track to boot. It's about a billion times more fun than Nascar. Oh, and you might meet John Heinricy..he races a blue Firebird in A-Sedan. Chris

    It would look kind of upscale, I think. Off topic, but I think Chevrolet did a MUCH better job with the color choices on the Camaro than Ford has done with the current Mustang. Chris

    Very well said/written. Anybody else here seem to notice that Cheers and Gears seems to be getting better and better? The quality of the posts seems to be way up from everyone. Chris

    Having worked 5 years for a landscaping contractor like that while I was going through college, I would agree. Mike, my old boss, was very big into quality and design...he was very talented and artistic, and a pleasure to work for, most of the time. I actually really miss doing landscaping....right up until the time my wife wants something done in the yard. Chris
  16. A Horse With No Name
    I would agree. Nascar in some ways just needs to go away...it has become more of a soap opra for men then actual interesting racing. That and you watch about 3 laps for every 8 ad breaks... 66

    I would agree with you but reverse Subaru and Mitsubishi. Chris

    Thanks for the pic, 'Biz. There is something incredibly romantic to me about a woman and a 50's car. Chris

    I also like Mulally... Sixty-Six

    I'm not very religious, but I think its a good idea. I MUCH prefer this version of Christianity to the far right Neoconservative view that seems kind of prevelent today. Chris
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Agree with you about other governments helping their automakers...I am optomistic for some long term reform. Chris
  22. A Horse With No Name
    Yes, in the Solstice IIRC...my fav. GM car! Chris

    When you come up with more thoughts, I am all ears...or er..eyes, this is the internet after all. Sixty-Six

    Agree with you here...my blood is just boiling right now. And not to turn this into a poltics thread, but people in VERY high offices seem really indiferent to-don't give a rats ass about-the automakers... My blood is boiling right alongside of yours, Biz. 66
