    I can't explain why, but I have always loved big cars from the 60's and 70's. The feeling of floating on a cushion of air? The style? I'm tall, perhaps it is the fact that there is an obscene amount of room in some of these cars? Room for 3 comfortably in the front seat alone? Throw in a drop top and it gets even better! What are some of your favorites from this era? Post some pics!

    Those old Toronados sure had road presence.

    Not mine.... bummer. Actually, I think I'd like the Toronado or the Starfire more than the Impala.

    The engineers and designers at Oldsmobile called them "the Mafia, because they are all hood."

    Here is one I really like, the '66 Toronado as modified by Jay Leno and his gang.

    Bill Mitchell and friends did nice work. The 71-72's looked like Eldos. Remember this one, it has 500# T-tops too. Try finding rear glass to restore one....

    There's enough metal in this thread to stamp out a year's worth of KIA's.
