Indeed, though I was rarely a fan of the look (very rarely). As well, from a body mechanic standpoint, I couldn't think of a worse material to apply to a car body and the edge trim was usually held in place with clips and holes through the body panels (as with most trim back then). They were practically begging for rust issues.

I never saw the point either - and like you say, they were a HUGE rust vector.

CLICK Bait headline...

Saying the Corvette is slower than Nissan leaf just doesn’t have the same effect.

I'll bet that MF'er can be a handful.

Now they need to race that '68 against a modern minivan and break some boomer hearts.

Wouldn't a 427 be more of a match in the HP/TQ numbers & a fairer comparison?

Of course mount up some A 78-13 tires on the mini van.

Vinyl tops and convertibles , not in it for the long haul.

I'll also accept modern tires on the 'Vette, but I don't think it will help enough with that spankin'. The C3 owner will still need...

I didn't realize that we were all of a sudden being practical and responsible in this group.... How does that work out for all of us who own a soft top vehicle?

I guess you could put vinyl on a hardtop....

We'd be discussing minivans and man buns if we cared about such things...

Random thought: I don't think I like the sound of "powerful combination formula", especially not when referring to ring cream.

Now here's something you don't see every day, particularly not in the US...a 1973 Reliant Scimitar. The brand name doesn't exude confidence (thinking Robin here) but it's a funky/cool machine.

Some fun French cars Peugeot 205 T16 , Renault R5 turbo.

From a time when could watch Nascar without a little puke in your mouth.

I LIKE it....

As do I, kind of like the "shooting brake" or "bread van" look. Always wanted one of these...

Actually, I did think of a worse material. You may recall some higher end cars like Broughams had padded vinyl tops. Nothing like adding a sponge to the mix so as to absorb and hold the moisture directly against the metal once the vinyl begins breaking down...
