Having ridden in a friend's '73 Riv and experienced the beauty of the Buick 455 first hand, I will agree that those land yachts may be an acquired taste, but are well worth acquiring.

The 1984-1985 Seville is tight....Grand Prixs of the mid 70s era were tight too.

That new Lincoln rear end is awful.

If you call a 5,000 lb car tight.....

Now a Grand Prix GTP from the 90's......that was tight.

Opened normally.

As for the GTP comment, they are only cool if you want to appear drunk on an episode of COPS

Frst couple years of the 6th gen (1997-whenever they uglified it) were really nice looking cars, especially the top o line 2 door.

Too bad they suffered from GM's quality issues.

i think the new camaro has an ugly rear end. got stuck following one a couple times. definitely does not look "bad ass" like you would expect.
