Here's an unusual airporter: An Oldsmobile Toronado

Hey 68....all is good here.....still in oil country, no safari....no hiking Appalachian, although on occasion hiking in Banff....glad you are still around...thanks for the the welcome back!

Hey Blu, VonVeez & others, thanks for the nice welcome back...I much appreciate that. I love these early 'Caminos'.....interesting vechicles. And, Blu, regarding your question about the Chevy Crewcab. I believe it was offered for production and I think by a company at the time that did those big airport limos and such....looks great as a crew. I'll do a bit more research on that. (For some reason pics I'm posting are coming out very small...sorry)

The 1941 Chevrolet Utility Coupe Pickup.

I just figured GM needed another Harley Earl. The golden age of General Motors.

I wish GM didn't pair Saturn and Saab, it brings down the cache factor for Saab.

We Canadians love our Pontiacs. Always have.

I hope they name it the G8 Summit.

GM brands really need to have their own distinctive steering wheels. Seeing this one way too much.

This car and BLS in general says so much about what Cadillac shouldn't be and the need to return to it's iconic roots. Awful. Cadillac needs to stop trying to ape other brands. Just say no. Just be yourself. Be Cadillac.

Saab desparately needs cars like this. And they need to have it in a two door hatch, with attitude. This should have been done long ago.

The rearend and 3/4 view let this car down. Dull, dull, dull. The interior door panel....snoozefest. The DTS and STS are Cadillacs in name only. The new CTS gives some glimmer of hope.

Very funny...'What trannie does that Chevy have?'

Balthazar, I deleted the offensive statement. Thank you for pointing out glaring errors. It helps us all to be clear and precise.

Here is part of a brochure showing some descriptions and options for a Chevrolet:

You got it. They were called Canopy Express and used as delivery trucks...out the back and the sides. I never knew much about these models with canvas roll-ups side and rear. Something so appealing about these. I'd luv to buy corn form one. Here's a pristine '48 Chevrolet Canopy Express:

I'm not too sure about that new grill, it might be just me making an adjustment. Maybe it should have been there at the beginning. Now it looks like a women who had too much botox injected into her lips....kinda Melanie Griffith.

Correct. It's a Chevrolet Journey from GM of Brazil.

General Motors, Dodge and International Harvester made trucks like this in the '30s and 40's. Ford didn't, they had outside builders. Here is a '37 Chevrolet. It has role up fabric on each side. What were these trucks called and what were they used for?

It's not a Mazda 3 but it sure looks like it could have inspired it.

Can you name this concept?

First impressions notwithstanding, this car is uber light years cooler than what it's replacing.

Really appreciate all the photos of this great looking car. Thanks. Cadillac is getting closrer to that all-off-one-piece look. Looks good up close and from a distance. And seems to look good in any color. I'm so grateful living in an area where front licence plates are not requried. Cars seem to look so much better here.

This car just doesn't move me. The Saturn Aura wins in the looks department.
