To the theme of the thread, apparently everyone hates 4 doors on old cars, AND they hate late "malaise" and "smog" cars, so I guess my 78 Monaco counts.
I like these:
I had one, but mine was without the horrid chrome wheel well things and in an odd beige-ish pewter color with leather(it was pretty classy looking really) and a v8 and a moonroof and whatever else you could get back then. My first car I bought back 25 years ago. The interior is shaped like an aircraft cockpit with most things in a circle facing the driver.
Notice how the seats are basically smack dab in the center between the wheels? The wheelbase is also long. This car rode really nice. IRS. Giant four wheel discs, this car would drop from 70-0 in like a hundred feet, or at least if seemed like it based on the few deer I did not hit because of the brakes. Door is like 5 feet long lol. Stereo was factory amplified. Dual climate control(auto) pretty ahead of it's time really. Oh, did I mention V8 and RWD?
Comparitively: the same year Mustang, which I also had years later and now my boy has. Brakes were half as good in the mustang. mustang was faster off the line, but probably because I put 3:55 gears in and it was a 5 speed vs the factory 2:73 in the Mercury. Yes, the Mercury did 50mph in first gear lol. holy smokes could it pass people on the highyway though, dumping from OD to second I learned to wait for it to go to third and then floor it or the poor car didn't know what to do lol.
I miss the car and would get another but stuff like this, in actual classy color and not "pimped out" is hard to find in WI due to salt.
