You are in the Classic Cars Forum. Your Host is mr_shiftright
Saw a TV show on TrueTV called Operacion Repo where they were repossessing some guy's pristine yellow and white 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 convertible.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 23, 2008 8:33 pm) Now, I don't like that one pictured above, because of the fender skirts, and I could do without that salmon color. One reason that I like it, most likely, is because I see a little bit of '57-58 DeSoto/Chrysler influence in the front-end, and those are some of my favorite cars. Probably another reason why I have sort of a soft spot for those non-Hawk Packards and Studebakers from that era. Now I'd say the '58 Ford is my least favorite of the low-priced-three that year, with the Plymouth being my favorite. But I like 'em all. I like the '61 Fords too, although I still prefer the Chevy. Either one blows away the '61 Plymouth in style. I've heard that was the car that inspired a whole generation of Japanese sci-fi monsters!  1946-48...dumpy looking little car, IMO. Now honestly, there's not much from 1946-48 that gets me turned on, but a Chevy from that era just blows the Ford away, IMO. Even the Plymouth, no beauty queen itself, I think has more charm than that '46-48 Ford! |

still do, they were pretty clean, not overly chromed and miles better looking than '61 MoPars. I'd take a '61 Chevy or Pontiac over a Ford or Merc though, the '61 Chevy and Poncho being among the best cars of the "long tail" era that began in '59 and ended in the 90s. OTOH I do agree that '58 was the low point for Ford, their '59s were much nicer. |

It's a pain to find images that fit along side the ad banner To adjust the size of the image your goal is to have the horizontal width 640 or fewer pixels. Use the property item on right click of the image you're posting to find its width and height and the ratio thereof. Divide width by height. Multiply that by 640 as the new width to get height. If your desire width is smaller, use that number. When you paste in the location of the graphic into your post and use the "Img" button, thenafter the " and > sign at the end put in width="xxx" height="xxx" where the x's are your new numbers for width and height. The " signs are required; use a space before the word width and between the words. I can't put in an example because the forum interprets the symbols of an example as a graphic and doesn't work right.

Replying to: oregonboy (Dec 24, 2008 7:42 am) Occasionally adjusting size gives a little bias or rippling along edges that are not vertical or horizontal.
