I saw a 1961 Imperial convertible driving eastbound on I90 today. Those have to be pretty rare today. It was yellow with a black top. Maybe the pinnacle of Exner's weirdness - the standup headlights with big odd fins. I also saw a tectite grey W210 E320 with sport package - uncommon, and a black W210 E55 AMG. |

| one of my officemates spotted this graceful beast out on the highway. | |

...of that big Pontiac coupe I posted a few weeks ago. Also saw some kid changing the transmission (or maybe the clutch) on a mid-90s Civic in the Home Depot parking lot.

Replying to: bumpy (Nov 17, 2008 8:14 am) I think that style with the big triangular rear windows looks really good, especially without a vinyl roof. The Catalina/Bonneville and LeSabre all shared that same coupe roof, although it was common for the Bonneville to be optioned with an opera window/landau roof setup that was pretty awkward. It was also offered on the Catalina, but didn't seem nearly as common.

An odd way to use time and money: Chrysler LeBaron SL AMG

Replying to: dinorino (Nov 18, 2008 6:29 pm) A genuine early 90s R129 in pristine condition is worth in the low teens...funny car to copy. Of course, it was probably done 15 years ago...but still. I like how the ad copy reads "AMC conversion"...that's more accurate. That thing wearing an AMG badge should be a criminal offense.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 18, 2008 6:42 pm) I agree about the AMG badge...who are they trying to fool? It's funny how the front fenders bulge, it look like an SL that gained extra weight from overeating.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 18, 2008 7:57 pm) How did they do that? Is this a body kit you buy or something? From 100 yards away, it looks credible.
