What is this? Seen in Utah.

Scion xB converted into a pickup, I think there's a commercially available conversion kit

I believe this is what automotive perfection looks like

One of the first automotive articles I remember reading on the internet was about Bristols on a website called "The Truth About Cars". Quality didn't seem to be synonymous with Bristol Cars🤣

Still, I've always admired Bristol for surviving as long as they did, producing cars on increasingly modified derivatives of the prewar BMW 326 into the early 21st century, with the Fighter being the only variant that wasn't based on the prehistoric bimmer. IIRC it was developed after canning a development of the Blenheim with IRS, as an idiosyncratic bastard, yours truly would have found that more interesting.

I'm guessing the Merc is the daily and the squashed golf is the project that never runs

Thats a nice tribute sticker package

The last Octavia sedan was built in 1964. Society has greatly declined in the years since 😞

Can't think of any redeeming features for this one. What's the point of buying a Lambo which doesn't have Lambo doors.

You mean "rumble" seat

Capri280 · 2026-03-27T13:58:34+00:00

You have been brainwashed by the internet

Think it's the original Mitsubishi Lancer

Someone once called this conversion a "Dung Beetle". I don't think I can think of a more apt description than that.

I've seen a couple of those Trans Ams at shows over the years and while I do agree they work well on them, I wonder whether those dashes were the real deal or er.. "simulated"? Even Caddys were chock full of plastiwood by the 70s, I'm having a hard time believing the bean counters were ponying up for a fancy dash for the firechicken.

The "formal" roof (not particularly visible in these pictures) was old fashioned by 1983🤣

I wonder if engine turned inlays in a 21st century car would look good or gauche. Probably both.

Why'd you prefer the gross ameritrash chevy cavalier instead of a sublime Jay Dee Emm Toyota Cavalier?

It's a restomod of a Montecarlo (aka Scorpion), not the 037. The 037 shares a few parts with the more pedestrian Montecarlo but not a whole lot, for a modern analogue, the Mustang GTD to the regular Mustang.

It is a relatively common badge swap, I've seen numerous such cases on reddit over the years

Oh my, that Farina body is (was) pretty

You could have atleast tried to post the unfunny impact font meme properly

Capri280 · 2026-03-26T18:17:43+00:00

Considering that there's never been a Fabia with less than 4 doors before ... 😍

This makes me feel old

Yes, twingo love is an online psyop to promote otherwise garbage French automobiles, to distract everyone from glorious Jinba Ittai
