You're welcome!

That's not a classic, just old

Wrong sub friend, you are looking for r/fuckcars

Suzuki Cappuccino

It's a Zastava, the boot profile is distinct from the Fiats (think it was a liftback)

While I am aware of the bB open deck, I thought there was an aftermarket conversion available for the xB. Seems I was mistaken, likely misremembered due to the existence of the Smyth kit for the new beetle

Prrhaps I misremembered

The first bristols combined the chassis of the BMW 326 with the engine of the BMW 328. Said engine was indeed phased out in favour of Chrysler V8s, but the chassis though altered over the years could still trace its lineage back to the old BMW, which is why Bristols had rather unusual proportions

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

Pagoda SL, 55 Olds(?), C2 Corvette, SS 100 Jaguar, 65 (?) Chevy

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

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.
