The 70.5 was my favorite Camaro too, particularly in RS trim. I agree that Chevy did a good job with the downsized 77 Impala. My favorite Impala's are the 65 and 67 coupe or convertible. The 61-63 are all quite nice too, but the 64 seemed bit over styled? I actually liked the 59 better than the 60, especially that flat top 4 dr hdtp with all the wrap around glass, but I know I'm likely a minority on this one! The 59 GM line was a styling jolt like the 57 Mopars when they came out. However, the 59 line didn't go over as well. Maybe a bit too radical compared to the staid Ford products that year, or maybe people were a bit leery after the initial quality issues on the previously all new designed Mopars and Edsels? The 60 GM cars toned it down a bit, but may have also taken away a bit of the prior year model excitement (however, I think the 60's generally outsold the 59's, but I'm not sure if it was actually the GM restyle, or the ugly 60 Ford and uninspired 60 Plymouth and Dodge?)

Is the new Caddy coupe going to be fixed window?
I know another reason for fixed rear windows is cost savings which is why the old 2 dr hdtp designed seemed to be replaced with fixed windows starting in the early 70's.

..seems to bring more confirmation that it is no longer Ferrari which builds the most beautiful sports cars.

Is it just me, or does that really look like a scale model?
