I'm a porthole fan as well. Goes back to my grandfather's 49. Loved that car. I think it was a Sedanette - fastback with a Rocket straight 8. The hood opened from the sides.

"..... fastback with a Rocket straight 8."
 
Point of order. Rocket was the Olds V-8, Fireball was Buicks inline 8. I know, I bought a '49 Super Sedan for my son this year!!!!

#1192 of 1259 the return of storied nameplates by steve_ HOST

"Buick is bringing back the Grand National, the GNX and the T-Type, three legendary performance nameplates from the brand's high times of the 1980s. All three cars will be sedans and they'll use GM's new rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform first introduced in the Cadillac ATS sedan.
 
That's the plan anyway, according to a reliable source who spoke to Edmunds.

Wow, that car looks like a tiger ready to pounce! However, the car has two too many doors!

"Critics like to knock the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid for everything from stingy battery-powered range to its cramped cabin and high sticker price. But it has the most loving owners of any regular production car in the U.S., according to a new survey.
 
The rating stems from what Consumer Reports officially calls its owner-satisfaction survey, which asks its subscribers a single question: Would you get the same vehicle if you had to do it all over again? Researchers said 92% of Volt owners said they would."

Doh! You are, of course, correct. Fireball.

#1197 of 1259 naming conventions by steve_ HOST

Came across the Chevy Tahoe LTZ and started thinking about trim lines.
 
Do you think they really named that one after Maximum Bob?

...to get a $50 Macy's gift card. While FWD mid-size family sedans are far from my cup of tea, it had a very nice interior, felt solid, and drove quite well. I would say that potential buyers in that segment should give it a hard look.
