    The open door is where the driver gets in and climbs a stairway to his seat.

    Hey--is that new? It looks like an art deco project from the 30s. It's really cool looking.

    Thanks. That was interesting. The old vehicles ,whether passenger type or commercial ,were much better looking than any of these modern vehicles. They used to take the time to make them almost like sculptures,especially the 50s cars. They all look like jellybeans now ,with no discernable differance. I mean a Lincoln doesn't look much differant than a Toyota. My special car is a '67 Marlin and it looks quite differant than the stuff that's put together now. Thanks again.

    with the way the cockpit is built, that looks like it would be a blast to drive.

    Wow, haven't seen a Marlin in years, very nice.
    Original paint? Looks like it is.

    I'm jealous.

    Dude, no offence..... but you paid fucking 3500 bucks for a 98 civic?

    For that you could buy something with a few balls, suspension, and handling prowess....

    Death, that LTD would make a sweet ride..... for and off-duty undertaker. Look at the motor, and the sides of the engine bay.... looks like they painted it by dumping a black can over the car and a blue can over the motor. The dodge is pretty neat, though.

    That's why I don't buy Hondas, or any Japanese cars. I once owned two Toyotas and swore I'd never get another.

    Oops, I lied, I do have a used Miata. But they're cheap used.
