Car pics too cool not to share

It's true about the acceptance of 4-doors, these days. They are the last of the body styles to gain any favor. Wagons were accepted (I dare say, even desired) years ago. The 4-door hardtop still could be seen as a stylish ride, but the lowly 4-door sedan definitely took much longer. Sadly, many a solid 4-door sedan gave up its parts to save a 2-door in much rougher condition.

I've always preferred 4 door sedans myself. Safer, and easier to deal with. I made an exception for my Jeep - wife's Fiat is a 2 door as well, but only because they don't make a 4 door version.

Well, assuming you are serious, at the time of that picture it really was for sale, but that one is now gone. They are currently creating pads for slab-built-shit-box houses where that one sat. That was part of one of the local Ford guys collection. He kept a nice '55 or '56 T-bird locked in the shed you see in the background. He probably kept 50-60 vehicles there, mostly Ford, but there was even a Jeepster or two sitting around.

I know they say that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and all that, but I find it difficult to believe that anyone could see that as stylistically beautiful. Perhaps the condition of it could be called beautiful. Stylistically, though, interesting...busy...unique, perhaps...but beautiful? Ummm...no.

Just in case anyone isn't feeling old today, just realize they are now making restoration parts for Fox bodies and third gen Camaro/Firebirds. Our TJs will be soon ;)

I chuckled when I saw an NPD commercial the other day talking about "Classic Mustangs" with a picture of a Fox. Although thinking about it, the platform is 43 years old (44 counting the intro of the Fairmount).

If you live long enough and keep stuff long enough, you see them become "collectable". I've posted a couple of examples on this thread already. I bought my '72 Chevy C20 in 1984 to rebuild as a car trailer hauler. Even then, nice examples were hard to find in Ontario. Hard to believe it's now 50 years old and worth a lot more than I have in it. As purchased and current pictures posted.
