The reverse-angle C-pillar ruins the greenhouse, though. 1974 Matador coupe  Nope, you're on your own for that one. I'll take a 240Z over that beast any day.

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 23, 2008 12:27 pm) I remember seeing ads of a new '80 Citation Club Coupe, the bodystyle you almost never saw, in X-11 trim, silver with red striping. It was sharp then, and its styling would still hold up today. And it had a roomy interior (even back seat) for its exterior styling. Bill

Replying to: uplanderguy (Dec 27, 2008 3:20 am)  Her's a picture of your X-11, Uplander. I agree it's a clean design. I have to say, though, that I was "in hate" with My first company car was a K car.... I tore a couple of shirts on the unfinished edge of the door frame before I beat it flat with a hammer. It would stall at lights if the AC was on... even after I made them replace the compressor. Then I had a beige Citation.... not really a bad car solid and reliable but talk about Soviet-style practicality.... And I hated the Jimmy Carter's Democratic Big-Brother- knows-what's-good-for-you mandated 85 MPH max speedometer. I once had to fly to the airport to pick up an unexpected VIP visitor....and for some reason it bothered me not to know exactly how much the speeding ticket was going to cost.

| I agree with you on GM X-cars. If only they had been reliable and durable their legacy would have been very different. Also, GM wouldn't need a bailout today if the Vega had been an exception rather than the beginning in a long line of failed models. | |
