To each their own...I'd say the whole package is a pass for me

 

Not my cup of tea,

But hey, That's why they have horse races. People like different horses.

I believe I'll go back and look for the water fall.

 

That car reminds me of one of those orange/cream popsicles you can buy from the ice cream man.

 

That reminds me of an orange creamcicle that I regurgitated

 

Reminds me of the wagon that the ice cream man was using back at the circus....

 

Them is the ugliest wheels I have seen on any car , can't say much for the paint job

 

He stole the wheels of a old tractor and painted it cab orange (used to be a white car and he ran out of orange paint)

 

The sad thing is, the workmanship does not seem to be lacking...just taste.

 

Nice car for someone who's into that. Just not my taste.

 

Can that be called Pee Orange - in contrast to Pee Green ?

Yo - yo, what's up G-string ?

 

Classic example of a Cutty.

Norm

 

I always thought the term was hoopty

 

Those wheels aren't too big, the car's too small.
Reminds me of a Gerber creamed carrot baby food and milk color, had plenty of that spewed on me. I hate it when your burping them and they look you right in the eyes and let out a big burp and it projectiles right into your face.
Not as much as that car though.

 

You think thats bad. I saw on stupidist home videos grandma was holding the baby over her head, cooing at it. I'm sure you can guess where this is going.Spilled not one drop. smilies arent working or I'd have thrown a few in. t hee hee.

 

Not what I would like either. Sad thing is that he has a lot more than 12,500 into it.

 

Some people's taste resides solely in their mouth... It reminds me of something that Ronald McDonald would drive. Or maybe the Hamburglar?

 

hmmm... just how many clowns can fit in a 1971 Cutlass..

at least it's not all hacked up and can be saved if someone has the compassion.. not to mention the $$.

 

I think that is a good example of what is called a "Donk". As was mentioned, looks well done, from the photo anyway, just way out of range for the taste of most of us here at this site.

 

The factory wheels would be the best way to improve the looks, and the value of that poor car...

 

It would not take too much to save the car. New wheels and paint the orange a different color , depends on the interior. I hate to see what he did to that.

 

Just what the heck is a "Donk?" I've seen the expression on another [probably more youthful board]

something only oldsguy can answer?... or maybe not Curios as to where the work donk came from since it does not show up in any of my dictionaries. the closest I came was dank.

 

I saw on a another board that "Donk" comes from the cheap end of the GM line. Seems they first started hanging the 22's and lifting the modern Impala. Somehow the Impala on the emblem got converted to donkey and then shortened to donk. Now that term is just applied in general to cars so altered.

 

seems to make sense. I had a 66 impala SS 325 hsp 327 with the 2 speed glide She was not all that fast as it could have used a big block , god knows there was enough room for one.

 

How about these wheels, bigger is better right. Click on image for more

 

Thats just beyond tacky. too bad there isn't a vomit emoticon

 

x2 on being tacky , I am sure that it is not street legal. At least here it would not be. Hey I have an extra set of tractor tires , I wonder what that would look like convert it into a monster Olds

 

How the heck do you get up there? Is it Shaq's car because I can't think of anyone tall enough to climb in without a ladder!

 

eerrrrrrmmmm.....

so you guyzzzz don like my ride?

"Restored" 71 Cutlass with a 454?

The entire car, well I have to add a new smile, just for this car:

 

I can't tell if that is a Cutlass or a ride at Disneyland!

 

HA HA HA HA HA HE HE HE HE HE and so on and so on.....................

 

No.

 

^^ x2

I'll let this video do the talking

This poor "G" body Regal

 

The others are sharp. but jacking a car up into the stratosphere, to get some cheesie wheels on it isn't for me. They serve no purpose and are, from a technical stance counterproductive. Esthetically they throw off the proportions and lines of the car.

 

Open the doors and clowns pour out.

 

In the first post of that thread he gives a link to a video. I watched it and not all the cars are that bad. At about 24 seconds there is a white car with modified full fender skirts that have blue waves painted on them. Not a fan of the treatment of that car but I recognize it. I think it was a '39 or '40 Graham "shark nose". I'll try to find an unmolested one to show how they used to look.
