The non-muscle American car thread (READ THE OP)

[ScottPuss20]

One of the supercars I dreamed about during my childhood, the Saleen S7.

But the even more bonkers Twin Turbo is what put this car on the map. A ridiculous power output only surpassed by the Bugatti Veyron. It's a car that still looks current even though it was designed over 19 years ago. Then there's the LM edition:

It was launched in 2017 and only 7 were built.

I still see a surprisingly high amount of those on the road still, despite their age. The coupes have really died out though, haven't seen one in a while.

To this day I still can't tell the difference between the Lumina and Monte Carlo until I see the tail lights.

1990 Chevy Caprice Estate

1991 Ford Country Squire LX

1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park

I collected those brochures at the NY Auto Shows. Loved how these wagons could be trimmed. Just keep ticking boxes in the accessories column.
My Dad had the same color Caprice wagon, but with the quad sealed beams.

Black on black...on black.

Want. Big want.

How isn't this a muscle car?

How isn't this a muscle car?

It’s a pony car technically.

Compact car.

It's amazing that we're still not past this.

Today marks 51 years since the debut of the AMC Gremlin. Here's a later special model, the Gremlin GT.

I guess another reminder is needed for the kind of "American" cars allowed in this thread, posted by the OP himself:

Of particular note:

American badged foreign cars, like an Eagle Talon or Ford Capri, are not allowed to be posted.

Here are some examples of cars that are allowed to be posted:

Here are a couple of amazing Ford touring cars.

Does Non american Ford cars counts?

Does it also means that cars like chevrolet spark or Aveo or captiva from GM Korea counts as one?

I will count these kind of cars, just like I count Acuras and Infinitis. Though they are not built in America, they are sold under American brands.

Stop trying to rigidly enforce the will of a thread creator in a goofy "post pictures of cars" thread who couldn't even finish the OP of the thread without looking like a fool.

To add to that, initial sketches for the Gremlin were done on an airplane barf bag.

Just some good 'ol fashioned American cars.

Baby Leguna. Needs round taillights to make it more awesomer.

Some favorite personal luxury coupes from the PLC heyday.


1979 Buick Riviera. The S-Type had a turbo V-6.


1979 Cadillac Eldorado. Elegant.


1980 Chrysler Cordoba. As elegant as the Cadillac, but RWD and only ⅔ the price.


1980 Dodge Mirada. I would love to find one and drop in the running gear from a Hellcat.


1979 Oldsmobile Toronado. I love that shade of red.

1980 Dodge Mirada. I would love to find one and drop in the running gear from a Hellcat.

I'd wager it'd have no difficulty lighting up--it would probably have difficulty not lighting up--with a 408 stroker that can breathe.

But then you could start with a siamese bore 340 block and go bigger still. And it would be a direct replacement in a 318/360 car.

I found this 1968 Buick Electra for sale. I had to present this.

 

[Keef]

Well then it's settled. The photo says it's a Buick. I see no reason to argue.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Not many of these left

looks in decent condition too.

Remember that Buick that was made only for the 1986 model year? It was all black, had that V-6? No, not the GNX. The other one. The Century Gran Sport. Yes, just like the GNX, it was made in 1986 only, was all black and had a V-6. But the similarities end there. The Century was FWD, and there was no turbo on its engine. It still made a healthy 150 hp with tuned exhaust and had stiffened suspension. Only 1029 were built.

The GNX was a 1987 car.

Pure jewelry. Don't care how many are still on the road, these things should be worth a million bucks/euros whatever. Glad they're not, but goodness gracious. The detailing and classiness of what were put in these automobiles. Amazingly, the only car that I can see replicate that interior, is a Pagani. Today's every cars shouldn't be selling for what manufacturers are suggesting retail prices.
