That's what I'd build for myself.

There were a few left near here, if an hour drive is close, but Indiana switching to DST killed them off. In the summer it doesn't get dark untill 10 PM, to late to show a double or triple feature. Loved 'em.

An updated old car set up for long, fast travel and great handling is cool, but cutting up real muscle cars bad. I'd rather see Chevelles, Le Mans, Belvederes and such cut up than SS 396's, GTO's or Road Runners. Also the big rimsLook really bad on these cars, like it's been said they look like clown cars. Also, the name Pro-Touring has always seemed silly to me. You turned Pro and get payed to tour?

Now that would be far more entertaining than any more F&F movies could be.

Twenty some years ago a local man had a Lamborgini Countach. A real one, not a kit. I dont know if it was factory paint or not, but it was an UGLY brown color, and he painted all of the loose trim, bumpers, wheels, nameplates, grilles and all gold and it looked like he had used spray cans. It looked like a 15 year olds Cavalier ! He even put one of those erector set spoilers on it ! Thats one Countach I would have been too embarrassed to ride in.

I bought a Modelhaus 48 Tucker, complete and unstarted in the original box for $40 at a swap meet.

Febuary 91 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide artical on Big Willie calls the Cuda a follow-up to the King Daytona.

I've never let what others have thought or done change my opinion on cars that I like or dislike, lf I like something I like it. A lot of Honda Civics have been ruined by teenaged boys making "improvments" to them, but that doesn't change Civics as a whole, they are great little cars. Hey, I like old air cooled Vilkswagens (and own two of them) and the fact that Hitler commishioned them and Hippys fell in love with them in the 60's doesn't bother me. I guess I'm more opened minded than that. To me a car that would be embarrassing to drive would have to be based on the car itself. Ugly, badly built, unreliable or such. Like an Aztec, Juke, Sol, xB, ect....

I used to think that 58 Edsels were ugly, than the last 30 years of cars were released.

I have wanted to build a 1/25 King Daytona for a LONG time, but theres very little info on it out there. Movie trivia, Big Willie and his King Daytona are in the opening street race in the film "Two Lane Blacktop".

Other than enviro wacko nonsence I've never heard any negitive things about H2 or H3 Hummers, they were nothing more than rebody jobs on regular GM truck chassis, and were no better or worse then the Suburbans and Trail Blazers they were based on.

VW busses changed only in small details for most years, but as that kit is a 21 window deluxe it must be a 64 to 67.

Born in 54, the only thing I can think of is a VW bug or a Chevy pick-up.

So............, more chanels of adults playing with balls. Just what we needed. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....

I'm glad someone else has enough good taste to dislike these ugly things.

All automotive styling went to heck in a handbasket about 1973. (Just about the time the government started telling the manufacturers what they could and couldn't build)

I loved Funnys back when they looked like cars. Nice pre-Pam Jungle funny.

Some of us think Speed lost it's entertainment value then it was bought out by NASCAR. (NAPCAR)

It's all about subject matter.

I'm not a facebook member, so I can't se the picts. Anyone have more?

Pontiac, Mercury, Oldsmobile and Plymouth all died for the same reason, the big three were competing with themselves with badge enginered versions of the same cars.

No supprise, when every bookstore has a coffee shop and lots of seats and benches where you can sit and read without buying anything. How long would GM be in busness if the let you use a new car untill you didn't need it anymore?

Remember not all Beetles are created equal, these are Euro spec cars, not export deluxe USA cars.They won't be the same as the bugs we remember.

If you are not into VW's they are all the same, if you know them every year is differant.

I'm waiting for the "Mall Rated" fender medalions.
