Hard to put into PROPER words, but that thing is so freakin' ****, that it is downright gorgeous. I'd be proud to be seen in that thing AS IS....ANY day of the week! The aging and patina on that big ol' blob has morphed into utter perfection! I LOVE it!!

AWESOME. Those were beautiful cars. Would that today's cars weren't all designed in wind tunnels and all look alike.
