Local dealer has three of these. They look dorky.

I am imagining 3 Carters hanging off the side of the inline 6. This thing is looking good, and spot. less.

Around here, it's old Mopars with their tank-like unibodies that win derbies. They can run with no water for ages, too. Just too tough.

Veered totally off-topic but decidedly wicked cool. I am always up for pictures of Pontiacs. And... I love the look of the '60 Pontiac... absolutely sanitary after the busy '59.

NICE. And there are plenty of links to even more GM candy after you view each vid, in the window.

Wow, I just went through all 65 photos. Great album. Thanks Camino.

Let's trim it down to Delta, Alpha (with compact pickup and SUV variants, along with the gamut of car styles) and Zeta for cars and a full-size truck platform. Delta hatch (2 and 4 door), coupe, sedan, wagon, MPV, CUV. Split the bodystyles up among Chevy and Buick. Alpha premium roadster (Corvette), coupe, sedan and convertible Cadillac. Alpha premium SUV, Cadillac. Alpha volume coupe, convertible, sedan and wagon, Chevy and Buick. Alpha pickup, small van and SUV, Chevy and GMC. Zeta sedan short, Chevy and Buick. Zeta sedan long, Cadillac. Full-size truck platform, Chevy and GMC vans, SUVs and pickups.

Um... nice cake. Soooo many things suddenly become clear.

You're 32 years old today, Mr. Drewbert. Instead of WD-40 to ease your aching joints, how about some W-30 OLDSMOBILE lubrication?

Doesn't it stand to reason that it would be advantageous for a car maker to trim the number of platforms and make more variations on each platform? I'd be interested in knowing profit per unit in realtime dollars, GM 1959 v. GM 2010. In 1959 we had a B, C and probably D body that were all closely related. We had a pickup, medium-duty truck which probably shared a cab with the pickup and a Corvette. And the market was covered to great success. How did this way of doing business lose favor? Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Alpha, Zeta, Theta, Lambda, Optimus Prime... where does it all end? It's all Greek to me.

"How are the plastics?"

Ohhhh... now I see how it got so green. Scotts Turf Builder. This will be fun! I can't wait to see the Project Car thread. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, Camino.

Very cool. Through these concept car hidden treasures, "Warhoops" has taken on meaning like Shangri-La, or Eldorado.

A white circa-1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Woody. There weren't too many of those sold.

Take note: this was not built by Toyota.

That's snazzy.

A slap in the face to every personal-luxury coupe fan, and GM owned that niche for decades. Another attempt to Americanize themselves. And I hate them more for it.
