I posted a few dumb-ass car owner stories on another thread and thought "hey, this could be a good thread!". So, here goes. Some of us have an advantage (?) since we work in "the biz" but I'm sure all of you have come across someone who just shouldn't drive a car. Basic auto knowledg...

Man, I just love the styling of cars with hide-away headlights. It has got to be my all time favourite styling feature from the 60's. I can't think of a car from any of Big 3 that didn't look great with hidden headlights and that I wouldn't mind owning.

Interesting take by a LA Times writer. Don't fully agree on his opinion of the car, but it's interesting to read. I had a 73 Gran Torino Sport. 351 Clevland 4spd. Medium blue on black.

In another thread a while ago we were discussing a Judge prototype based on a Tempest 2 door sedan. I happened upon a reference to it this afternoon while reading some old High Performance Pontiac mags. This is from a story by Don Keefe in April 1991.
