Bill in Wisconsin ...18 Degrees Today (not including 'wind chill')🥶.

Let's see - that only leaves 26 or 54 and you said, "it would surprise". That could only mean Fifty-Four! 🤔

Hmmm. Many years ago at an AOAI national meet in St. Louis I was asked if I would sign-up for "The Judgement" as there were only four cars in my category and apparently they had 4 trophies - I hadn't prepared the car for scrutiny - guess who won 4th Place? I was so 'proud'! But, that's just me..........😀

Thanks - Gun!

Because they ran out of Studebaker (Lark?) frames?

I've never been a 'motorhead' but I am reminded of the Summers of '69 & '70 when I worked as a 'car jockey' for Hertz at Chicago O'Hare (lots of crazy stuff I will keep to myself) however - back then you could actually Rent the Mustang Shelby Cobra! We only had a few of them and it was Fun to drive to and from the dealerships for service. I had previously gotten a ticket driving through a small suburb with an ordinary car so when driving the Cobra I made sure I followed all laws as it kind of stuck out! btw - it was only rented as an Automatic. Two other cars of note I remember were the Lincoln Continental 4 door hardtop with rear 'suicide' doors And the American Motors AMX! Those were the days...............

True, or maybe you need to turn your Hearing Aide down!😳

Right Hand Drive 'Sweep' for American Cars (I still say DUMB) 🤥

Great idea! And I will no longer allow my Wife in the vehicle! 😵

Exactly - plus we turned the AC OFF!😳

Merry Christmas to all.😍

I have no thoughts - and I'm afraid to guess.🤕

YOU are the Documentation KING Regnalbob! 🧐

The writing was on the wall.

What about the "Alliance"? Rented one to go from Vega to LA and almost didn't make it over the hills!😳

Yes - after Renault?

Nash - Kaiser - Hudson - Rambler - AMC - and now Chrysler? American automotive History.

I Have to Agree!😍

Want BLACK? Toyota seems to Only have Black for quite a few years now (though the more expensive ones have 'some' colors other than Black for the seats). I think it's a cost saving thing and I don't like it! 😵

I'M Interested! Pretty sure others are as well. Please continue when you have the time Guy. 🧐

Years ago I heard/read about a fella that was going to 'convert' his Avanti to an EV - not sure what happened in the end BUT check this out (if you bear with me): At the AOAI Home page - click on "News & Events" then click "2020 Virtual Car Show" (Very Cool) Now (the hard part) go down to the 27TH Entry - "Bill & Sonja ...... 1983 Avanti" Sure looks like Sonja is CHARGING her Avanti at a Tesla Station! Is Sonja putting us on or what? I LIKE IT!😳

Damn - radios weren't Cheap (even if you didn't want one)! Wonder how many buyers 'deleted'. I bet they didn't even have FM (and tape wasn't even invented yet). We have come a long way since!😳

'Sounds' like something they would do! 🤔

Correct me if I'm Wrong - didn't Blake also introduce the composite bumpers as well as the Square headlight sealed beam (finally)?

Blake started in 1984. Kelly 1987 (don't think there was a 1986). Cafaro 1989 to 1991. I will be Corrected if I'm wrong!
