JT Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I too, have always loved the Impala's. The Buick is beautiful, but my nod goes to the Impala. Now put it up against a Bonneville, and see which way it goes. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebm1 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Luv tha Buick, FYI ...growing up in tha 50s, contrary to tha popular misconception ( 2 dr hdtops being tha most popular), it was 4 dr hdtops that everyone wanted. It was also tha 4 dr hdtops that had tha most engine options, i.e. 4 dr hdtop 57 Chevy's with Fuel Injections. 4dr hdtop 57 Ford's w/ supercharged 312, two versions.

MrObsessive Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I have to give it to the Roadmaster too in this case. I always have loved two door hardtops........but they were very common in the '60-'70's and are mostly what is seen at the collector shows today. However, 4 door hardtops are hardly ever seen, and I think they're a bit better looking in some cases. From a practical standpoint though...........one of the reasons I won't consider a 4 door today is I CAN'T STAND that ugly center pillar! :shock: It blocks my peripheral vision because being a tall guy (6'3"), I have to have the seat as far back as it'll go. It never fails that the "B" pillar is right on the side of my face blocking my left side vision, not to mention seeing traffic from the right side of the road if at an intersection. The first car maker that can come up with a 4 door hardtop that can meet today's federal rollover standards will have my money! :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 well i always understood the aversion to 4 doors to be a matter of weight: 2 extra doors with hardware plus window roller hardware etc. at any rate i think a 4 door looks like a tank while a 2 door looks sleek even when it is actually a, well, tank with two doors! you see a lot of modern "rat rodded" four doors these days; i generally consider that a result of all the "good ones" (ie: 2 doors) being swept up long ago. anyway i gotta go with the chevy still.

Chromecop Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The Impala got my vote. I've always loved the '58 Imp ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
