They still make those in Russia, I think.
That’s a nice Corvair.
I have a soft spot for Greenbrier vans, too.
Looks like an old 1600 doesn’t it
I had B210 - great car. Traded it on a Nissan 240sx - not a great car.
Yes, I used to have one way back in My teens. Lots of FUN!
Also had a MK-I pre 1966, the 2 door MK-II 1968 and an Estate Wagon.
I thought Fieros were the coolest cars around, until you saw most of them at night when only one headlight would pop up.
Yeah, mine looked great, until one of my class mates dented the front corner panel with a water balloon.
Ok, just realized It is a 2002, Ford Focus Hatchback with Sun Roof and luggage rack, 105K miles, great shape. It’s my daughter’s car.
The 2021 model quits before it gets there
My wife and I had a B-210 when we were college students. Not much of a car but it was reliable and got great gas mileage.
My fiancé’ had a ‘75 or ‘76. It was branded a “Honey B”, and even had a decal of a honey bee on the back. As an aspiring young GM guy, we got rid of it as soon as we were married.
That’s nuts that a water balloon would dent it. I once totaled a Toyota Supra of that era hitting a deer. I was able to pull out most of the damage but it never quite looked right. That car was another one of those cool looking angular ‘80s designs.
BTW, the louver kit on your car was aftermarket, correct? How did the louvers attach? Were there factory mounting points in the hatch sheetmetal or did they use something like mounting plates attached to the glass with double sided trim tape?
Reason I ask is I found a set of louvers for one of my cars on eBay sans mounting hardware and I’m trying to come up with a roadworthy way of mounting them.
Wonder if anyone still has my first car - a 1972 Dodge Dart. Ugliest car on the road, but that slant 6 just kept on ticking.
During this same period I had a Toyota Corona 2 door vinyl top. Back then you could really fine tune an engine, even a small one. I just loved working with the timing, dwell, gappers, and advancing the distributor. Eventually, one could adjust the distributor by ear. Way cool.
I bought an ‘82 280ZX in ‘84. Red with T-top, 5 on the floor and very peppy! Loved that car!
A Karmann Ghia that I was a passenger in had a near spiritual
experience with a semi-truck. That was my last ride with
a Nichiren Shoshu believer—the son of a VW dealership owner.
