Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
In 1983, I bought a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere with 16,000 original miles on it.
It had a push button "Powerflight" transmission, no seatbelts, a tube radio that had to warm up before working and a trunk that could sleep six. It drove like a dream and I loved that car with an unwholesome passion.
I've never felt that way about any other machine, muscle car or no.
'57 was a good year for Chrysler car styling. I think that's the same body as the Fury (like Christine ), right?
I think I was a little raw and riled up and over-sensitive. I apologize for being overly snippy.
No offense taken. I've been there.
I've developed something of a thing for muscle cars, but it's entirely fandom related. (Goats and Rivs and Impalas, oh my!)
I like small, pointy, FAST cars. My GTI is case in point (sob).
Having a Rolls Silver Ghost would be special.
If I bought a muscle car, it'd probably be a Ford Galaxie 500 or Mercury Marauder.
My loyalty to FoMoCo is a strange thing.

EXACTLY. Which turned out to be the bad news. I bought it in Stockton, California in an area known for its yahoo population. Despite my car (Belle, as you might expect) being blue and not red, I had people swerving their cars at me, yelling "CHRISTEEEEEN!!!" out the window all the time. Sheesh.
On the other hand, not a single day went by when someone didn't try to buy it from me.
Ultimately, I sold her to a museum in Nevada.
YOUR car is pretty freakin' awesome!
If you could have any car, money and mechanical needs being no object, what would you drive?
1935 Mercedes Benz 500K
I get a little giddy when I see pictures of that car.
1935 Mercedes Benz 500K
Those are cool! I built a plastic model of the 500K (or maybe a 540K?) when I was a kid.
I like weird cars. I wish there were more Tuckers around so I could buy one.
YOUR car is pretty freakin' awesome!
Thanks!
