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?'"

Replying to: andys120 (Jan 15, 2009 12:40 pm) Early Ford Bronco. Possibly mid-late 1960s. They didn't change much well into the 1970s. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jan 15, 2009 3:11 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Jan 15, 2009 9:14 am) 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.   No, and you didn't hallucinate it either. The reactor was to be buried, similar to a heating oil tank, and would be refueled as necessary (perhaps every few years). It was part of the 'electricity too cheap to meter' plan in the '50s. I also saw, on Nickelodeon or a similar channel, an episode of 'I've Got a Secret' from that era where a guest brought a small demonstrator reactor onto the set and showed it powering a light bulb.
