Replying to: fintail (Jul 05, 2009 4:05 pm) But the blue car has rib marks in the plastic between the cloth. The one in the brochure does not have that longitudinal rib marking, it's plain. I can see the rectangles in the blue car on the door as in the brochure car. None of the cloth seats, 88's or 98's have that longitudinal rib.   We're going to have to ask you to stop by there when the place is open for business and inspect the car for us!

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 05, 2009 6:20 pm) Oh, do you mean the sewn in vertical lines in the middle of the bench seat, in the darker blue vinyl? That didn't even catch my eye til now.   The blue car had vertical sewn lines in the inserts like the brochure....the insert cloth also seemed kind of wrinkled, I don't know if that was a factory texture or an age issue.   I won't be down there again for about 8 weeks probably...but it might still be there. I'll make an offer on your behalf

In a Dallas driveway: Thanks to this board, I knew what it was! Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 06, 2009 9:12 am)
#16672 of 17975 Speaking of 4-door hardtops... by lemko Jul 06, 2009 (5:37 am)
...I spotted a 1963 Chevrolet Impala 4-door hardtop, red with a white roof. Seems the 2-door hardtops are common, but you don't often see an Impala 4-door hardtop of this vintage. Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 06, 2009 9:15 am)

Replying to: texases (Jul 06, 2009 5:16 am) I saw one of those in Vancouver once, and it was being driven. It sounded like a hyper chainsaw.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 06, 2009 5:37 am) I remember the father on "The Wonder Years" had a 63 Impala 4 door HT before it was replaced by a big 69 Ford sedan.

.....if you REALLY want an unusual Mopar (or just want to piss off your neighbors):   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE-DART-LIMO-1962-NUNRUNNER-V10-T56-6SPD_W0QQi- temZ270421689672QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3ef6638548&_trksid=p4- 506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A-2%7C39%3A1

...I've always loved the taillight treatment on these (and on the '67s even more):   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-1968-Dodge-Monaco-Woody-Stationwagon_W0QQit- emZ260438936526QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3ca35ecbce&_trksid=p45- 06.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A-2%7C39%3A1

Replying to: ghulet (Jul 05, 2009 1:47 am) I have always liked the 62 Olds line, from the Starfire and 98 down to the F-85 Cutlass. On the 98, the quad taillamps and the extra body side trim added an extra something to an already pretty decent design. The "protruding" headlight/grille assembly was also unique and, to me, attractive. My aunt and uncle had a 98 4 dr hardtop back in the early 60s, but it was the 6 window roofline. I think the 4 window roofline on this one is nicer than the 6 window. Another aunt had a F-85 Cutlass, and I always enjoyed riding in that car.
