The good news is that with the advent of electric, self-driving, cars, car culture will become as popular/relevant/trendy as butterfly collecting. Cars will no longer be cultural icons.

We are of an age (the Boomers) when cars were interesting when we grew up...by the time I was 10 in 1963, I could spot just about every post c. 1953 car I saw..."that's a '56 Olds...a '58 Plymouth...a '62 Impala..."

When the new Plymouth Barracuda - or "Baccaruda" as we called it - debuted in early '64 I almost wet my pants with excitement when our local rural dealer got one in...I still have a large collection of sales and dealer literature from those daze, still in mint condition (now all that is online)... Three HUGE things happened in early 1964 that changed our culture forever: the Beatles appearing on Ed Sullivan in February, the April debut of the Mustang, and the introduction of the mini - skirt. Those three events started the new "youth culture" and swept away the old cultural norms...I remember all that like it happened just yesterday... Cars today interest me not, they all look like boring beige appliances, can't tell one from another, except maybe the Dodge Challenger, which harks back to the original model... -- Best Greg |

A civilization built around the cell phone - who saw that coming. Nobody. :) I used to have a 74 Mercury Capri - the Sexy European. Ha ha. That thing had nerf bars in the front, was lowered, and the suspension stiffened. The suspension was so stiff you could feel the car moving side-wards on rough roads. It was a real bomb alright. The exhaust system was a bit loud but when you're 20, you're totally clueless as to how loud your car is to other folks. |

Because of no real marketing or fanfare? Probably. And probably because most of them look quite similar, no real body distinction. |

The first car I had that wasn't a hand-me-down from my grandparents was a Chevette. Then: Honda Civic Hatchback Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla clone) Toyota Matrix Honda CRV (hand-me-down from my husband) Toyota Highlander (ditto) I liked the Prizm the least. It had a trunk. I hated lifting stuff out of the trunk. Much easier to slide things out of the hatchbacks or SUVs. Cindy Hamilton |

Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions. "For the 1970 model year, Plymouth only built 14 'Cuda convertibles with the 426-cu.in. Hemi V-8 engine. Of these, nine came bolted to the 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, making this a rare – and hence desirable – example of Mopar E-body muscle. Last weekend in Indiana, a High Impact Lemon Twist yellow 1970 Hemi 'Cuda convertible sold for a fee-inclusive $1.98 million, landing it a spot in the top-10 at Mecum's Indianapolis sale. Adding to this 'Cuda's rarity is its history as a Canadian car, one of three 1970 Hemi 'Cuda convertibles delivered north of the border. Reportedly, one was later destroyed, while the two remaining examples were both finished in the bright yellow hue seen here. As delivered, this example came equipped with a tan interior and black top, but it was the option under the Shaker hood that mattered most. Fed by a pair of Carter four-barrel carburetors, the 426 Street Hemi was rated at 425 horsepower and 490-lb.ft. of torque. When Motor Trend tested a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda coupe in May 1970, it ran from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, on the way to a quarter-mile time of 14.0 seconds at 102 mph. With the right tires, the car would have been faster, but getting the torque to the ground through the stock E60x15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires proved… challenging. A convertible example would have delivered slightly higher times, with the same limitations implied in the quarter-mile. The example sold in Indianapolis last Friday came with a known and documented ownership history back to 1970, and benefitted from a concours-quality restoration that included assembly line production markings and tags. The body was reportedly stripped to bare metal before refinishing, while original components were refurbished where possible. No claims were made regarding the originality of the drivetrain, but its likely safe to assume a restoration of this caliber would include date-correct components. 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda The fee-inclusive selling price was good enough to leave the Hemi 'Cuda convertible tied for third in the sale's top-10, but fell short of the record price of $3.5 million set by four-speed '71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible in June 2014. In the case of that car, just two examples were built with a drop-top, a four-speed transmission and the 426-cu.in. Hemi V-8, proving that exclusivity will always command top dollar when it comes to Mopar muscle..." </> |

Although I enjoy looking at others pictures, it's just not something I feel compelled to do. Whether to share or have my efforts mauled, I'm just not a camera person. > most everyone with a cell phone has a camera handy... and modern cell > phones have excellent cameras, and these days ordinary digicams are > dirt cheap, no film or processing needed, Yep, I have a cell phone but it stays off for perhaps a few times per month. My cell phone is for emergencies only and not as an entertainment venue for anyone. I was just at a site a few minutes ago and to be able to access it, the turds had to send me code by text. I have to go get my phone, turn it on, wait for it power up, unlock the screen, and THEN see the code they sent. I did say I was not a camera person and I'm not phone, cell or landline, person either. I just don't get this fascination at looking at everybody's food; it's like all dogs have to smell each others butts before they're accepted. |
