This is the beautiful car thread, why are you posting fuselage Mopars? ?

 

Don't hate them because they're ---------

IMHO, there's a BUNCH of ugly in here... but that's the way opinions go, right?

Every one of these is fabulous, actually. The Green convertible would be a worthy garage mate to that Delta 88 pace car I posted up.

This is Fido, the friendly dog of Dirty Harry Callahan... Car alarm systems were not common yet in 1971..

Isso Grifo...

I love British iron...

I dig the Iso Grifo and the Jags...what the heck is that car in the first pic w/ the dog?  Looks sort of like a '70-71 Torino, but not quite...weirdly shaped windshield opening and custom grill? 

Back to American iron...

I think it is a Torino. Balthazar is free to correct me. 

Fomoco love!

I may have posted this before, but I just love this pic...

Back to Fomoco...

More Iso Grifo...

I may have posted this before, but I just love this pic..

 

It looks like one of these ('70 Fairlane/Torino), but from a bizzaro universe..the windshield shape is way off, and the front fenders and grille are not correct.. maybe Photoshop tweaking...

 

Edited February 17, 20215 yr by Robert Hall

I just like the black and white photographic quality of this...

I think it is photo distorted, and could have been modifed for film use. But hell, the early 70's was a time of drugs, peace and love....maybe it tried to interbreed with a Chevy Malibu, or took a hit of acid from some back ally in Dearborn after it rolled off of the line. 

More black and white love...

Fomoco on the brain today...

^ Great pic of Shel and a GT40...

Again, just like the photographic quality of this, amazing. 

Art Deco, I love the artistic quality of this...

65 Impala....neat!

For our Boeing loving Robert....

Not a car but beautiful, Concorde over London. 

Planes cars motorcycles, why not a train in the thread...?

More black and white goodness...

Love the boat, Google monsters be damned...

This also just has a haunting black and white quality....again...just kind of love the image. 

Fomoco, Continental. 

A Corvair for Ocnblu....dig the green color, actually. 

interesting vintage Cadillac pic, not sure whre this was taken. 

More...

^ love those wooden boats and the Mark III....would love to have an old Chris Craft to take out to the islands in the summer.

Used to have a criss craft owning co worker, he loved his. 

Let's start more crap about vintage Mopars, I kind of like this one and this image. It kinn of capturees the romance of the American road in my mind. Olds in the back ground is not to shabby either. 

Romance of the American road again...San Fransisco. I so want to travel. 

Fomoco love, again....Ford on the brain today...very happy with the Ranger. 

John Lennon and his Rolls...

Pagoda roof Benz, I love this era of Benz...the mdoern stuff, not so much. 

Neat Boeing 737 Vintage Pic for Robert...

70 Mach 1....65-70 Fastback Mustang still my favorite post WW2 car. 

Vintage shot of Brussels, Belgium. 

Elephants were once used to move airplanes in Thailand, seriously...

Enough spinach and he could take V-8 power to this....or just drink V-8 juice...

More GT-40 love...

^ beautiful '70 Mach 1...and in brown...droooooool

Another cool vintage Cadillac picture...

Just now, Robert Hall said:

^ beautiful '70 Mach 1...and in brown...droooooool

I loved that photograph. 

I will see you a Mach one and raise you a Boss 302...

Not a car but....Chrysler building...

Shoedingers Mopar...we were debating beautiful vs. not beautiful for Mopars..this one is both...watch till the end. 

 

 

On that note...

Moar Ford...

Since I know Robert is follwoing this thread...

Moar Boss 302...

This image is wonderful...

How about a Yorkie with an SN95 Mustang, and 3 pics of a Black Jade '69 Mustang Boss 429...love that color...

I wonder if the google mosnter gets upset at Dog pics...

I almost bought a black jade 69 Mach 1....that color is out of this world. 

A "green" car for Ocnblu....I think he could go for this green...

Moar vintage Fords, this time in Chinatown...

Having a Ford love day...

Okay, since this is a GM forum...

 

Token GM car...I still would love a vintage 4 door. 4 door hardtops were the bomb for cruising around in high school. 

Saw an unrestored dark green '68 Shelby GT500 KR convertible at a car show in eastern Ohio as a kid in the early 80s, left an impression on me...love dark green performance convertibles..

 

Edited February 17, 20215 yr by Robert Hall

Blue mustangs are hot also. One identical to this was on the service bay floor when my dad bought his country squire in 71...started my love of crs then and there...first model car I ever built was a Mach 1 like this. 

Robert, I think we found a pic of you as a young boy on your parents farm here in Ohio...

More vintge Benz love...

I love vintage vetts...

Thunderbird...

In a vintage Ford frame of mind...

Since this is a GM forum, JFK in a 57 Chevy....he didn't always ahve good luck with convertibles...

57 Ford, wonderful, would give my eye teeth for a 57 Ranchero. 

Robert, I will see you the Green Mopar convertible and Green Shelby, and Green Mach one, and raise you a green Aston Martin. 

Vintage GM Iron....for USA-1. 

Shelby...

Okay, posted Shel...got to post Zora Arkus Duntov also...

Split window vette in action...

Last post for today. 

Okay so I lied about last post...but at least it's yellow like the Buick. 

 

Last oil change for the car was in the 1970's in McMinnville Tenn....ironically where Powermatic woodworking tools were made...

Here are some sweet green '69 Cougar convertible pics...love these also.  I'm more familiar w/ the '67-68 Cougar coupes (my folks had two, my brother has one)...but the '69-70s are quite nice also.  Though I never understood why Mercury put a Buick-like crease on the sides for '69-70.

 

'67 Cougar in Lime Frost (very similar to the one my Dad bought new, same color), '68 Cougar in Glacier Blue (very similar to my Moms, same color), and a '68 Cougar XR-7 in Royal Maroon w/ white top (very similar to my brothers', except he's gaudied his up w/ Pep Boys crap).  I love the styling of the original Cougars.
