Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
I guess it's a one side entry rig as there don't appear to be a door on the driver side. Yeah, it's ugly alright.

I would maybe have expected a raised roof for sun/rain protection with open sides, assuming you're hunting someplace like Texas or Africa. Heck, the 4x4 tour places in the San Juan Mountains have a setup like that on the back of late model regular cab Silverados. I reckon they can switch the seats and roof to a new pickup every few years.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
It's for pimpin' around the savanas sipping martinis.
But why go to all that trouble to custom build ugly when you could have one of these? And I just had to show this '57 because I love it. I'd be keeping that one for street safaris Leave them both on the street and just getcha a Travelall like this

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
Those Safari's are too cool for school. I knew of one. A 55 But the old guy I knew wouldn't cut it loose. He just let it sit in the yard. He told me "Talk to my kids when I'm dead". He was a cool guy. He liked to B.S. and tell really dirty jokes. I think he just liked looking at it. Because it hadn't moved in years. And it was straight as an arrow. Not a dent and no rust.
I don't know what happened to it because I moved away. I just hope that his kids realized what they had.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
I always had it bad for a '55 Nomad. Just too dang cool right there! Like a custom or concept car built in the factory to be sold to the public. But as my car knowledge expanded and I discovered Pontiac did their own version too... Well, that was just too cool all over again. Too bad Buick didn't do one. But they still had that Riviera factory custom/concept thing going on

I owned this '57 Chevy Nomad at one time. I can't remember what year this was taken but it had to be the Summer of '77 or before, because I was still living it town. I moved out to the country in December of '77. LockDoc

I just got those attached to an email titled "The Good Ole' Days". Your response mirrors that theme.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
Seeing that 58 Chevy with a continental kit reminds me of when my brothers girlfriend had a 58 Impala. He found one. He bought it and was going to give it to her as a present. Somebody jumped our back wall and ripped it off. He wasn't happy.
Prototype Cadillac.

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
I'll take the gold one. But I want the cast aluminum bolt-on wheel covers (like the black one). That's what mine had. I have only seen one other baby blue '63 Riviera before. Plenty of the light metallic blue, but no baby blues. I found these pictures fairly recently

Re: Pic Thread: Cool Old Cars
I've always wanted a 64 rivy never got a chance to buy one but never really actively looked either.
Same with this 55 . Have most of the chrome nos from when we cleaned out my uncle's studebaker parts . Seems Studebaker dealers kept everything .

Had the Nomad 2 or 3 years but I don't remember if I sold it or traded it for something else. My '64 Rivera was the Light Metallic Blue, with a White interior.. I'll have to dig out the original picture and scan it a little bigger. LockDoc

I remember my parents buying a 1953 Studebaker Starliner in probably 1955. It was the sportiest car we had when I was a kid. We only had it a couple years. Of course, I was way too young the drive it. The first family car I remember was a 1951 Olds Super 88.
