1st Annual C&G Member's Rides Calendar
Email sent as of 8:01 pm Nov. 30, 2006. 1964 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Hartdtop 4 door 394 Rocket V8 Massachusetts USA Bought with the help of an Oldsmobile collector from a lady in her 80s the same day I sold my 1968 Camaro hardtop. The lady's dad, who was born in 1896 traded in his 1954 Oldsmobile when he bought this car in September 1964. He used it as his only car until 1983 when he passed on. The car was not moved out of the garage for 23 years until just before I bought it in June of 2006. It had 24,800 miles on it and according to the sticker under the hood the car got an oil change & a new battery in 1977 when it had just over 24,000 miles. Even the paper tag from the factory that explains "year-round coolant" was still intact, attached to the radiator support. Everything works on the car, from the original AM radio to the opposing windshield wipers to the climate control. After some basic maintenance items, but without still having done the valve job, I drove it back and forth to work 48 miles round trip everyday for a few weeks and took it to almost every single car show within a 50 mile radius. Now safely tucked away in a garage attached to our barn for the winter, the Super 88 has just over 27,000 gentle miles.

Decklids and Trunk Openings
WIWTL (when I win the lottery) I'll find a rotted out '49 Buick fastback & make it a hardtop, hatchback hot rod on a tube chassis with a I8 made by fusing two ecotech 2.4 motors together with a 40" long common crank & cam.

How did I miss this? Was there a SEMA thread I never saw?

2008 Malibu Interior
Voted "PRETTY GREAT BUT..." Enough of the "I wanna be just like an Altima or Camry" interiors, let's see some retro interiors... that's the stuff that looks world class to me. After the Camaro concept it's hard to be excited about this. Now THESE are awsome interiors, some more retro than others. Kind of silly but cool for an economy car in a '60s economy car kind of way.

You look soooo much like my old high school friend Alex! He's obsessed with BMW M5s too. (he's a Deputy Sheriff in VA now)

Come check out the Jeep Exhibit!
Say what...?

CONCEPT: Audi Dynamic Space Frame
Now THIS looks cool.
-
CONCEPT: Toyota Calty RLV
Kind of cool actually... it's a worn out concept (tandom 2 seater green car) The styling is actually pleasing compared to most of the other concepts.
-
CONCEPT: GM Hummer O2
By far the coolest 3d concept this year!!! Wacky, I love it.
-
CONCEPT: Honda Extreme
Honestly, not half bad compared to the other stuff this year. Still it's pretty unoriginal, in concept or styling....
-
CONCEPT: Kia Sandstorm
This is better looking IMO.
-
CONCEPT: MINI BioMoke
Pretty cool... for drawings.
-
Concept: Suzuki SXBox
Are they serious?
-
CONCEPT: Mercedes-Benz RECY
Wrong approach to a retro-1930s car, still it is cooler than 90% of the other stuff at the show...
-
CONCEPT: Acura FCX 2020 Le Mans
These were cool too... they were unveiled almost two decades ago and they existed outside of a CAD illustration.
-
CONCEPT: Mazda Nagare
Looks like a Humpback Whale!
-
CONCEPT: Honda Step Bus
Compared to this the xB is not that bad.
