my aunt had a pinto wagon...

2 cousins i had to ride on the "hump" in the back seat. most God awful uncomfortable, unsafe place to be on God's green earth.

Screw the Cobras, Jagas and Astins: you need the Austin Allegro!

The stroller would fit but the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Model T Ford , hands down.

friend pulled one outta the woods a couple years ago. been in there at least 50 years, fairly rusted. he taped up the wiring, new hose for fuel line, new gas, new tires. cranked it right up. didn't change oil or anything else. ran like a top. and down the road we went.

now try to beat that!

OK, I would go with the model T, but this comes in second

Hemi-Cuda = Hemi Powered

Looks like that one is T/A 340 Six-Pak

Staga · « **Reply #27 on:** December 01, 2004, 07:48:32 PM »

oh and Hemi hasn't powered a single car ever.
Oh and before any freak starts to shout how great invention Hemi was they should know it was French car which used them first, Peugeot Grand Prix cars in twenties.
Next bigger Hemi manufacturer was btw BMW in thirties with their 328.

Damn I hated when Saab sold cars with "Jet engine" in eighties (fuel injection)

rant over, thanks for your time...

Jeep CJ7 (but not witht he original AMC engine)

It's a Jeep thing....you wouldn't understand

EDIT: I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "car" though

Well there's one US car I'd love to have...
