My dad used to have a mid-70's Alfa Romeo Giuliette that was a very nice mountain car. Small car, big tires, torquey engine that would pull you out of a hairpin corner without needing to downshift. Rrrroowwwrrr! The dog crashed it in the driveway long ago, unfortunately. Lots of 1970's Toyotas still driving around here in Hawai'i.

Another Pinto owner here, I had a 76 Pinto Stallion like this but in red...
 My Dad had a Woody wagon like this but in green...  ..and my best friend and surfing buddy drove a silver Cruising wagon like this:  My sister also owned a bright orange hatchback that was destroyed when some old lady pulled out in front of her. How the old woman missed such a brightly-colored car was beyond any of us! And despite what some claim, the Pinto was a great car!  My other sister had two Mercury Capris in the 70s, a British Racing Green one with the V6, and a red one with the four. Those were great cars but the Florida salt air was not kind on them... Great thread, by the way! Cheers! M2

1971 Pontiac Series T-37 2 DR HT...
 - L65 Chevy 350 cuThe first muscle car I was introduces to... the family car. When I was seven my dad took me out for a drive. He let her rip on an open stretch... the speedometer needle was well past the 120 MPH mark. I thought that was so cool!

So THAT'S what all those 1970's cars look like without rust holes and spewing clouds of burnt oil! :D The shiny showroom photos are especially time-travel trippy - it's totally contrary to my mental image of these cars.
