Now there’s a creepy smile.
Beside being so similar to the Chrysler model name, Belvidere, Illinois is home to a massive open-today, shuttered-tomorrow assembly plant owned by that maker. I mostly remember it being Home of the Neon.
Pay for this, pay for that, loot for nails and hair.
Who the hell you think I am, Mr. Belvedere?
I saw two old and interesting cars today, a 1982 Ford EXP and a 1981 Stutz IV-Porte. I recognized the EXP right away, and it’s been many years since I’ve seen one IRL. The Stutz IV-Porte, on the other hand, I did not recognize and I had to search to find out what it was.
These are web photos.
While these were interesting cars that I saw today, they are not cars that I saw IRL. I saw them in the 1982 movie, The Night Shift, with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelley Long. While technically this post is consistent with this thread’s title, I admit that it does not quite comply with the spirit and intent of the OP. Still, they were very interesting to see.
Don’t drink and drive.
Really needs six giant bottle tops on the top rack.
It could also use a keg tap on the side panel.
Another TC. The Tesla Cybertruck. Near San Francisco the TC is becoming popular, to where I usually see a few each week.
So different. Are you a fan of the TC?
Based on that front grille, it would appear that this is a Brazilian built water-cooled VW built between 2005-2013 (According to Wikipedia, late 2005 was when they switched to the water cooled engine). Which means it’s not old enough to import under the 25 year rule. So did someone drive this up from South America? I can’t make out where that license plate is from.
ETA: Oh, I should have read the Wikipedia article more closely. They were also built in Mexico with water-cooled engines from 1991, which would be old enough to import. So it’s probably one of those.
Audi e-tron GT, nice looking car.
It looks like the love child of a Delorean and Christopher Nolan’s Batmobile.
I’ve seen a few. Yes they are nice.
Everyone compares the Cybertruck to the DeLorean, which I suspect is because of the stainless steel body. But I think the overall shape is actually more reminiscent of the Lamborghini Countach, particularly how the windshield and hood are in the same plane.
That’s a succinct description of what makes it so ugly.
'63 Ford Galaxie 500.
(Bolding mine)
It does work for the Lamborghini Countach.
But it does not work for the Tesla Cybertruck.
Thank you. My mind couldn’t figure that out, but something seemed ‘off’. I had no idea that a water cooled version of that was made.
I think this is a Citroen SM (1970-75), tooling down I-95 in Rhode Island.
Hm…
We had a reunion lunch yesterday and one of my friends has a personalized plate.
