Saw a '95-96 Caprice in gold today that looked showroom fresh, all original. Nice to see one of these that's not trashed or donked or modified into a faux Impala SS.

I still don't get the hype w/ 3D TVs.. I guess the TV makers are trying to find the next big thing now that HDTVs have reached maturity and a broad market. I can't really get into the tablet PC hype either..been lots of buzz about them.

Looks consistent w/ the pics from the New York auto show from last April.. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-2011-jeep-grand-cherokee-first-live-shots/

Telephone lines need to be buried underground. And trees need to be designed to snap off the base on impact.

+1. It's a Cadillac...I expect/demand heft in a Cadillac. It's not a Lotus.. -
I'm watching #ces on Twitter...getting a stream of posts.
-
There is a keynote tonight by Steve Ballmer..going on right now. Next week I will probably regret not going.
-
Is Chevy doing anything w/ Volt at CES? I know Ford has a Sync display. Then again, I have the show print guide right here in front of me, should read through it.

Ohio (biggest Amish community is US is in Ohio, near where I grew up)
-
About the only thing I've heard about was Nexus One announced yesterday before the show. I should get an email tonight from my manager w/ any interesting updates.
-
Yes, but now it will have a 6spd automatic instead of a 4spd like the DTS.
-
Could be a promo someone modified into a El Camino, or an annual kit painted to look like a promo. The older annual kits shared tooling w/ the promos, though the promos were made in a different type of plastic and molded in color.
-
I remember the flyer for the DM kit. I plan to build a few 1:25th scale El Camino phantoms eventually...I've gathered the parts to do a '55 (the AMT '55 Nomad kit has parts for the El Camino conversion), a '62 (using the roof and bed from a '59), and a '70 Impala-based one (using custom parts from the MPC '70 Bonneville kit). Scale Auto Magazine had an article about 25 years ago w/ conversions that modelers built from '61-64 Impalas.

By the way, where was the gas stop in the lead photo? That 'RESTAURANT' sign in building the background looks really familiar.
-
Oshawa, eh? Which means... it will be either on Zeta or the W-platform (Epsy Dos is not at Oshawa yet, is it?)
-
?? The CES conference is in Las Vegas this week. Has nothing to do w/ Ford Europe.
-
To tow a tiny trailer. I saw an interesting Metro the other day when random googling on hypermiling..some one had cut down the roofline of a Geo Metro to make it more aero, looked like a Honda CRX sorta kinda..
-
LoL.... the pics (and Wikipedia entry on Henry Earl are pretty funny. Didn't we used to have a Harley Earl character on C&G? Someone that was a fan or had them as part of their sig or avatar?
-
Ya... I had a ticket to go w/ my manager, but for various reasons, ended up not going. Would have been interesting.
-
Cool...most of the Snappers I grew up mowing on had Briggs & Stratton engines, except for one that had a troubled Tecumseh.
-
I'm sure Yakima or Thule has roof ski racks that will fit it.
-
You probably didn't hear about the bankruptcy? It took GM longer to get it out because GM doesn't have BMW or Mercedes' deep pockets..
-
Not sure if they are dealer options, but satin black seems popular in Europe on some Audis, Merc AMGs, etc.. Esp. in places w/ sloppy winters, low gloss/no gloss paint schemes would be great. I'd like an olive drab GC w/ black wheels.
