However, they should bring back curb feelers. And the J. C. Whitney catalogue. Every available means to make your car ugly and run badly. I am also not a fan of hot-rodding automobiles such as that one. Plenty of non-significant automobiles out there to put big, contemporary engines in, drop to the ground and shoe with giant chrome wheels and rubber band tires. Leave history alone. Yeah Whitney, Warshawsky catalog.....highlight of the mail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I suggest that it looks like someone grafted the ass=end of a Gremlin to a Barracuda, but I can see the Pinto, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more or no less ugly/attractive than other makes and models of the era. I like the automobile, though I am not a fan of the red over black two-tone, white roof finish. One can almost see the post-war Checker A series taxi cabs in the Hudson, but there is no connection that I can discover. Hudson put the lie to the stock car racing mantra “Win on Sunday sell on Monday” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a step. Note the stowable cinder block, er, step, by the port rear wheel. Remove to enter, have assistant replace by tire. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 No Shame - With their most popular electric vehicle the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV - China demonstrates a lack of the aesthetic as they continue to devalue the individual and any possible need for beauty. With enough room for one small person and a grocery item 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
