Another early 70s muscle car I love is the '72 Gran Torino Sport..love the huge fastback roofline and the way the top of the door kicks up...'73 had the same body, but got a huge front bumper and smaller grille.'

Camaro from the Era of the Torino.....heavily modified for autocross...

 

I think there is a lot to like about the GM Colonnade A-bodies, esp. the '73 coupes w/ the integrated rear bumpers...even with the huge front bumpers on most...

For a '60s rear end, this has to take the cake ::

Look at the bumper fitment & contours vs. Ford's. Plus you have the trick invisible taillights. ;)

 

RE the Galaxie's tail end, I'd have to endorse the '61-63 Thunderbird's take over the Galaxie's.

Ford in the 60's built some amazing cars. The 80's, not so much, and the 90's, almost none at all. 

 

One of the most Iconic customs ever. 

 

Neat GTO and Pontiac wagon...

I will take the Dash of the 63 with the red seats of the 62. 

I hate white seats as they show all the dirt and over time become more grey than white. White is one of the most terrible interior colors for an Auto. The 62 dash has way too much chrome in comparison to the 63 which I like way better and the over all layout is just awesome I think.

Pontiac's "vegan leather" they used in the '60s was utterly fantastic stuff. Wore like iron. I picked up a set of white '66 buckets from a junkyard car (had just came in) in '95, cleaned them with vinegar and they looked great & sold like hotcakes.

^ was that material called 'Morrodyke' or something like that? 

Yes : 'Morrokide'. Great, thick stuff. My '64 still has zero rips.

I don't really care for older Pontiacs, but that one is gorgeous. 

Yeah. 58 was a great year. 58 Chevy also is wildly under rated as an automobile.

It is parked (or abandoned, I heard for more than 20 years now) in our neighbor's backyard. I can't use a tripod because of the small opening and I had to take different exposures hand-held and aligned it on Photoshop before HDR rendering. I felt like a Peeping Tom when I was taking the shots. Hoping you will like this artwork.
