Replying to: lostwrench1 (Jan 14, 2009 7:03 pm) The horizontal lines and the short wheelbase make me think it is related to the mid-60's Dodge A100 van (those small, mid-engine rigs).   Close

Replying to: davethecarnut (Jan 14, 2009 10:04 pm) I almost forgot it myself... Back in 1958 you had a great example of why it can be a good thing that a concept car doesn't make it into production. It's the Ford Nucleon. In theory that long back deck held a nuclear reactor that would be good for 5,000 miles at which time you'd scoot over to the Ford dealer for a fresh reactor.

Replying to: fezo (Jan 14, 2009 10:09 pm) That's not so different from a proposal I read about for each home to have a miniature reactor in the back yard to provide electricity and heat.   I swear I didn't make that up.

I can only narrow the thing down to a '75-77 Cordoba. They gave the car stacked headlights for 1977-79. I didn't like the things when they were new, mainly because I was a die-hard GM fan as a little kid.   Style-wise, I don't think they're bad looking, considering that era. One of the buff rags at the time called it a cross between a Jaguar and a Monte Carlo. Pretty tough cars too...they're basically a copcar underneath. If I was going to go for something like that, I'd really try holding out for a 1978-79 Mirada, but I wouldn't be ashamed of a Cordoba. As long as it's not brown!

...where Louie is screaming at one of the drivers for getting into an accident, "You hit a CHRYSLER CORDOBA?!?!? The one with the 'rich Corinthian leather?'"
