  1. IMHO, it shows considerable front seat wear for an under-50,000-mile-car. I do like the blackwalls on this car, however.
  2. May be a little pricey, but, hey, you don't see Pacers with lakes pipes every day! https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/spokane-1976-amc-pacer/7554192588.html 1976 AMC Pacer, 97,000 miles. Same as the car in Waynes World. Excellent paint and body, good tires, factory original hubcaps, excellent interior. Runs and drives great! No rust or dents. Comes with many spare parts including doors, front fenders, hood, rear hatch/door, curved side glass, transmission, radiator, gas tank and much more small parts. Have owned and driven many years with many car show awards. Garaged when not driven. email cee5c83ded923065b2204f563c4ca463@sale.craigslist.org
  3. British Motor Center, San Jose, CA. This building was the original British Motor Center in San Jose CA when I was in high scchool in around 1960. It has gone through many transitions since that time. Forty years later it was a store selling items for babys (hence the pink paint and sinage). In 2016 it was the area BMW motorcycle/Vespa scooter dealership and continues to be today. It was an attention-getting mid-century building when it was built in the '50's, but is pretty well camouflaged and unappreciated today. Unfortunate, but at least its still standing and is occupied.
  4. The Classic Car Database lists 1958 Mercury station wagon production as follows: (In addition to the "Commuter" series there was a "Voyager" series that also offered a 2-door wagon, a more up-scale model.

  5. https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/coeur-alene-1978-eldorado-biarritz/7553236437.html 1978 Eldorado Biarritz custom with Astro Roof. 78 was the last year of the big Elderados, this car is a beautiful example. It was originally sold in Spokane and remained in the area its entire life. It is in wonderful condition inside and out, runs and drives amazing, like floating on a cloud. 61k original miles.

  6. Humble McPherson College -- the only place in America where you can collect a bachelor’s degree in automotive restoration. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/the-harvard-of-automobile-restoration-gets-dollar500-million-pledge/ar-AA13IaKh?ocid=mailsignout&li=BBnb7Kz
  7. Looks like a reasonable car at a reasonable price. Some interior touch-ups are needed, but its a not-often-seen model with low miles and just the right accessories. I like it.
  8. This is an interesting but lengthy article about the birth and death of the infamous Yugo. I found it informative and eye-opening. It starts out with some political history (of Yugoslavia) and then gets into describing the car itself and driving impressions of a 30+year old econobox. The last Yugos were imported in 1992, so they easily qualify as "antiques". If you have problems with foreign cars, economy cars, or world politics (not including anything recent or domestic), you might want to move on to another forum article. If you are curious and have an inquiring, open mind, read on... Remember, any comments should be in good taste. All Yugo jokes you can remember are WELCOME! https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/you-re-wrong-about-the-yugo/ar-AA13grW3?ocid=mailsignout

  13. This car (above) is actually a Roadmaster model 71 Tourback sedan, same as the one for sale here. One of 6738 produced that year. 320.2 cu.in. straight eight, 126.25 in. wheelbase. This body was available in the Super and Special series also, and was shared with the Oldsmobile 98. The more common Roadmaster Riviera Sedan, model 72, pictured below, had a longer wheelbase of 130.25 in. and shared its body style with Cadillac, but was also available in the Super series (not available in the Special series).
  14. Does this mean "non-running"? A little confusing.... Nice entry level car otherwise, if you like this era Crysler products.
  15. Nevada Assembly Bill 349, which proposes that for a vehicle to be registered as a classic car it must pass a smog check, carry classic or antique insurance, and can only be driven 5,000 miles per year. See post in "Automotie Legislation"
