My friend has a '57 that he bought when he was a teenager (he is about 60 now). It is red with white both exterior and interior. Gorgeous car.

But I am personally a Lincoln guy when it comes to classic American Luxury.

The great biggering of cars and trucks. My '01 5 series BMW was only an inch longer than a current 3 series. My brother's current 4 runner is way bigger than the old one that he passed down to his son, and looks like it is about the same size as a Sequoia he had about 15 years ago.

Cars have gotten smaller, but trucks have gotten bigger. Compare a full size car from the 1960s or 1970s- that Lincoln above, for example, with a full size car of the 2000's. What is full size for a car today would have been mid-sized back then. In fact, part of the reason trucks and SUV's have gotten so big is that people want large vehicles, but they don't make cars that big anymore so the only choice to haul the family and kids on a road trip is your basic Suburban, Escalade, Ford Expedition, or Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though I believe you European people still prefer to drive small Fiat Mouse-sized cars, which to be fair, work better on those older, smaller/narrower roads.

^^^^^^^^
One of my very favourite race cars from a great period in motorsport when brave drivers actually wrestled quite primitive mechanical marvels around crazy 'circuits' like Targa and Nurburgring. I like the 908 longtails too. Very elegant. Not at all German! I have to envy Seinfeld, he has a 917 too. Cunny funt.

Yeah that’s seriously bad luck.
And do you notice that the wheel not only but the front causing the flip, but then catches up with it again and hits it in the back…like it had it in for that poor little car.

double whammy!

that's an early 1960 something Honda. Maybe 63, 64, or even a 65. We had a guy at our church that bought one and we could pick it up and move it around if we wanted to.

If there's any rocks/pebbles on the road, his undercarriage is shit. ZERO ground clearance.

But, you have to admit, it's the true meaning of a "low rider".

looks like he's at a 6 Flags amusement park driving one of the old model cars around.
