1968 Plymouth Sport Fury

All the trappings of a 60s sporty luxury car, plus a little extra. Love those special hub caps, form fitting chrome bumpers, partially skirted rear wheels, and the slope of the rear window makes it complete. Thanks to "Car Guru 440" for the correction about the windows just behind the doors. Apparently they can be rolled down.

Just noticed the Seven Grey Dwarfs in the background of the rear 3/4 shot. The guy in the background of the last picture is an innocent bystander, not a dwarf (as far as I know).

1969 AMC Javelin SST

From look of the extra gauges and transmission, this looks like a modified vehicle, but it's all kept subtle, so that the car looks stock.

Love the crosshairs in the right side of the deeply set grille, black on white on black original gauges, excellent choice of wheels. Wood on the steering wheel is real, dash is fake.

1976 Buick Skyhawk

I always liked the Chevy Monza/Pontiac Sunbird/Buick Skyhawk/Oldsmobile Starfire of this era, though I think the execution is somehow more awkward/ugly in the Skyhawk. Which makes it all the more interesting. Why is it less satisfying? It is something about the headlights, and the way they placed the turn indicators directly beneath. Sort of like buck teeth. Or maybe it's the grille. It looks cheap, ugly. A Buick should have something more elegant.

That broad aluminum B-pillar is pretty good though. And the overall outline and fastback is great, belying it's economy car nature. No one would mistake this car for a Vega, though that is basically what it is. With a V6 it was probably pretty quick, and undoubtedly more reliable.
