Rambler Classic sedan 660. Looks like a 1964
Shouldn’t that be, LUV 2 GO?
The Mercedes S580. MSRP around $250K.
1st generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, the ZJ, manufactured 1993-1998. Very clean example.
VW Jetta, 3rd generation: manufactured 1992-1998. Pretty nice for 30 years old.

Chevelle or 442. I couldn't care less about the others.
sarcasticresponse
The Jetta is a 98. You can tell by the antenna on the roof... They were up on the hood every year prior to that. VW has a habit of putting their next gen car items on the final current production style since the 99 Jettas came standard with them. That Jetta though was pretty solid and got me all over the country.

I had a new 1976 442, last year it was produced with an Oldsmobile engine before they switched to a Chevy one. That car hauled ass

My first car was a Rambler Classic 660 4-door, powder pink.

If you were in Reno this week you literally see a thousand of them. Hot August Nights festival brings in everything with a motor and wheels including tons of beautifully restored classics.
DorkJedi
the 442 is my dream car.

My uncle David had a Chevelle that was bright green and what a muscle care it was. It was his baby until he got married. I miss him.

Hahaha , admiring the muscle cars , scrolling down , I reach the last one. I’VE OWNED A JETTA ! Only blue.

Burlingame sporting some iron!

My Lottery dream car would be that Rambler. With a Coyote motor stuffed in the engine bay. Pro touring style.

Can't see cars as anything but a masculinity status symbol these days. They're nice to look at, but they represent fucking up the species through climate change, and just not caring.

None of those cars are spotted ☹️

I hope people here can appreciate the cleanliness/straightness of the body lines on the older rigs. That shit is not easily, or cheaply, done.

#3 looks like a 66 Chevelle, I restored a rag top 66 Chevelle years ago, cherry red, side pipes great looking car, guy who bought it lost it in a divorce. It rotted out in a field.
donalbaine
69. 66 is what I call a three-box body style, with gorgeous flying buttresses on the B pillars. First one is a 69 Cutlass 442. My dad has a 69 cutlass S, and I've got a highly modified 72 Chevelle. I love these old cars so much..
pocketcthulhu
Ikr, I've got a 2014 2ss cameo Vert, I'm planning on keeping it long term. It's not the same, But it's much safer than a classic in a accident.
FellaWithUmbrella
It’s a nice ’69. ’66 is a little bit boxier.
Boffobeast
Yep
MH9009
That ranks somewhere between Old Yeller and Marley & Me for most depressing story ending
pocketcthulhu
Yeah, now on the upside, my every day driver is a 2014 convertible Camaro 2ss. The kid has picked up my love of Convertibles, one of the few positive things from my childhood. So she helps me keep it clean and work on it.
KHzSineWave
That 442, such a bad ass car, 4 barrel carb, 4 speed manual trans, and dual exhausts.

I was in Burlingame recently and didn't see it... I should visit again
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Please? Do. That's a major photographic filter on a major sunny day, but still? That finish. Unless I'm totally fanning, and that is actually a Instagram-style filter? Dunno. Love to know. Meanwhile, please visit again!
BeckyNosferatu
That License plate too. YEE 1969~

#2 my first car! 69 Chevelle with 2 different colors of primer lolol
JennyLawless
But if you grow up in Jersey, your auto shop friends fix it for ya
MateriaGirl1
Fun fact, the Jetta was /is really unpopular, unusual in Germany. Golf was /is the topseller.
echo7tango
Yup. Americans like sedans more than Europeans do. Europeans like hatchbacks and wagons more than Americans do. It’s a matter of taste and culture.

judgewolfgm
My immediate thought on #1 but Im not huge into cars soooo... maybe?
judgewolfgm
Err. Sorry. #3
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
#3 is Chevrolet Chevelle, probably -69 model. Dean's Baby is Chevrolet Impala -67, easiest way to tell the difference between Chevelle and Impala is the number of doors. Chevelle has only two doors while the Impala has 4. I'm sure Dean would still approve.
judgewolfgm
Thanks for the info!!

Im an auto tech and car enthusiast. I have appreciation for euro, domestic, Asian... but Mercedes makes ugly ass cars

Miss me with the Mercs. I can think of a couple that look good.
KellyanneConwayTwitty
I feel like the new Mercedes and BMWs are both so shitty to look at
CupcakeWSI
Yeah, their new stuff is pretty bad. But something like a 1980 SL Cabrio or a 1955 300SL. Those were really great in my opinion. I also like the timeless practical design of the w124 T model after the first Facelift (Mopf 1 around 1990). But that might be skewed by me having one and enjoying it very much.
MBdub210
Agreed. I just don’t understand why anyone would pay that much money for that.

The new BMWs are way more hideous

Lmao agreed, couple nice models but the rest are just bleh

Benz has gone downhill since the early 2000s

I liked the 450 SL convertible, their roadster models used to be fairly distinctive in design.

Ugly-ass cars you have to subscribe to in order to get full access to the engine that's already in the fucking car, at that. Fuck Mercedes-Benz.
Fn0rd
Source? My family has driven Benz for as long as I can remember. No one has to subscribe to anything. BMW on the other hand puts subscriptions for their heated seats in your contract. So I guess this is an Capitalist American thing. Here in Germany I don’t know of any subscriptions like the one you mentioned.
srsfaceI8C
https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/23/23474969/mercedes-car-subscription-faster-acceleration-feature-price It's a thing they're doing with their new EVs.
srsfaceI8C
Why am I being downvoted? I literally provided the source.
Fn0rd
Oh wow. But that was expected. This might be controversial, and I’d love to have an electric car, but: Those who buy always connected Computers on wheels should consider the possibility of subscriptions regardless of manufacturer. The newest Mercedes we have is the 2018 E class of my dad, and that was the pinnacle of non-electric mercs. Nothing is subscription based, you have physical buttons instead of a huge tablet, and you can use all features you have bought.
srsfaceI8C
I've read your comment a few times and am unsure what you are trying to tell me.
