Any Buick

First gen Mustang and Corvettes

Any corvette, mustangs prior to fox body

>>28465351 (OP)
Any pre-c7 corvette. C7 is when it crossed the event horizon and became a true sports car and not just a high performance muscle car.

>boomers really believe this

>>28465351 (OP)
Boomers are obsessed with these things for some reason but I think they look revolting even though they were styled in an otherwise good era (early-mid '60s).
I've heard of younger people being interested in otherwise boomer-tier cars like 1st gen Mustangs and tri-five Chevrolets, but never of some zoomer or millennial lusting after an Avanti.

>>28465377
You're a fag

>>28465377
That looks like a weird hybrid of 60s and 80s.
You could say they were ahead of their time with that one which doesn't mean it's beautiful of course

>>28465393
They are beautiful thougheverbeit

>>28465387
The lack of grille and bug eyed front just looks disgusting to me. The rest honestly isn't that bad, it's just the front end. There's plenty of actual good looking designs from that era, on the other hand.

>>28465377
Why did some fucking mexican MODIFY this to look like a frumpy ahh foxbody?!
>>28465396
This is what the front of an Avanti looks like. And why the ugly '90s plastic door guards?

>>28465351 (OP)
C1 Vette or '55 Thunderbird

>>28465377
Looks like dogshit. It's like some homebuilt fiberglass body swap.

They all drive these here. They keep trading them in for the newest generation of ugly fat bloated abominations on wheels. I swear the trucks are evolving to meet the boomer buy pressure by becoming more chrome, more tall but also more lower to the ground at the same time to get in and out of. It's like seeing a wall driving down the road.

>>28465402
>Why did some fucking mexican MODIFY this to look like a frumpy ahh foxbody?!
Because the Avanti company bought the rights to the car after Studebaker ended production in 1963, which allowed them to keep producing the same car - along with a few increasingly ugly variants along the way, which rich boomers ate up for literal decades until the owner which bought the company in 1999 got arrested for fraud (in '06).
Yes, they even thought the version with the shitty, tacked on plastic bumpers and blackout tape over the chrome looked "good". It certainly wasn't gen x, millennials or zoomers that were buying any of these at all.

>>28465377
nah these have always been cool and futuristic. you just got filtered.

When even the post boy has a Vector.

>>28465425
I'd dd one in a proper colour.
To the bank...

>>28465363
C5, C6, C7 are built on very similar platform and rhe C8, C9, 10 likewise will be on the same platform with minor changes. C5 is when GM wanted to serially compete with Corvette again and C5 is also when they started dominating Le Mans. They have like 19/24 victories since the C5.
Sorry but that’s a retard 1980s take you got there.

Also C6 Z06 weighs like 3000 lbs and has 500hp. Ids probably the best sports car still to this day and it’s really as close as you’ll get to a GT3 car without buying a GT3 with maybe the exception of the 997/6 GT3

The answer for OP is certainly a sporty crossover like the Mustang EV or a BMW X6 which is a market segment created to cater towards old people with money and back problems.

>>28465351 (OP)
trifive chevy

>>28465436
Hell even the c4 isn't too far off from a c5, ive seen one for sale with a complete c5 body drop and wouldn't bell able to tell from the outside, granted ignoring every change in powertrain, suspension etc

>>28465425
sick ride brother

>>28465421
Nobody drives those. I think I've seen maybe 3 of them in person in my entire life.

>>28465351 (OP)
why did he do it bros...

>>28465591
They are quite common where I live. I have seen three of them in the past week. One red, one yellow and one plum colored SSR.

>>28465634
outta my way, vietnam fucking shits

>>28465351 (OP)
"Special edition" cars like NASCAR/Indy 500 pace car replicas. I don't think anyone but boomers cares about them and think that they add any value to the car at all.

>>28465425
Only good post in this thread.

>>28465416
You should also mention that these were originally Studebakers but quickly were powered by GM engines and eventually had full GM chassis from the Monte Carlo, Caprice and Camaro underneath

>>28465653
kek

>>28465351 (OP)
Your typical Hot Rod, or an old Jag.

>>28465351 (OP)
I didn't like these back then, but after some time I started to see their appeal. I understand why boomers love them so much.

>>28465699

I'm watching this right now.

>>28465656
They can be cool, but I agree that most don't add any value to the car. They are just some exterior decals and maybe a plaque on the inside if you're lucky. By the time der boomer gets around to selling it the decals have already faded due to the sun.

>>28465363
C3 is the boomerest corvette, one chosen for looks rather than performance
>b-but the one year they put a 427 in it
Who cares?

Bloody hell, James is looking really old ( ._.)

Anyways, on the topic of the thread and on the subject of English cars, here's something that's such a classic (read: ancient) that your dad would consider it a car for old people.

>>28466564
I watched James and Leno a couple of hours ago, I don't think Leno has another year in him.
I'm sad for thinking that.
James will out live me.

>>28465412
Same thing here, and Boomer women are driving obese Escalades or some other variant of full size SUV

boomer cars are based

>>28466589
>don't think Leno has another year in him.
He fell down a steep ditch/hill at night a couple months ago and just kept on truckin after a short visit to the hospital. Back then he looked, moved and talked the same way he does now.
He might seem more frail than he really is.

>>28465377
I think the original Avanti is kind of weird looking in a sexy way but I also like the Mercury Cougar years with a similar weird inverted C-pillar shape so maybe I'm just autistic. I mean you have to be kind of autistic to like Studebakers in the first place. But also the Avanti was fast as FUCK and that's cool on its own.

The people in the comments who ask that to get edited out are wrong.
It's a nice example of the cliche boomerassholery but also nicely showcases how there are also still considerate people. The guy that gets interviewed INSTANTLY did a repeat for a second take. Very professional.

nah. For once, boomer's in the right.

>>28465351 (OP)
Just saw this on FB marketplace. It's the most boomercore abomination I've ever seen. It's a 2012 Camaro under the hood but mashed up to somewhat look like an old Chevelle

pic related - will post more

If he did that in the TV age, he would not be working for that company or industry ever again. Social media age is a lot more forgiving of faults.

This. It's always been the C3.

>>28467110
I actually don't mind this. Kinda like something you'd see from Mitsuoka.

>>28465377
It's not nice from the front, but the rest of the cars pretty nice.

More specifically cheap plastic bumper smog-era Vette. With raw, undiluted 165 horsepower. And automatic of course.

I saw one of these on marketplace and the guy had a 460 in it and I have started keeping my eyes out for one ever since.

>>28465358
Mine. Crown Vics too.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Who died for our sins and rose from the dead to give us the free gift of eternal life. He also promises to heal your body. You can ask Jesus for His gifts.

>>28465412
I was gonna say Yukon but yes. I was in my wife’s Prius C parked next to one and the hood is nearly as tall as the roof of her car. Just mega bloat.

Is buying whatever’s available in the lot a Boomer thing? A lot of the older generation seemed a little surprised when I told them I’d ordered a vehicle and it was in the process of being manufactured.

>>28465425
I remember when these came out. They could have put in a 5.0 with a stiff suspension and it would have been a fun, unique looking car. What a disappointment.

>>28474814
What did the door lock no work

>>28471404
>They could have put in a 5.0
The pushrod 302 was last used in a passenger car in '95, it was last in the Explorer until '01 and made almost 50hp less than the Thunderbird. The modular 5.0 wouldn't arrive for 9 more years. So where was this magic 5.0 coming from?

I wish people understood that any time they're hanging onto anything other than the steering wheel they need to stop fucking around and get a seat with actual bolstering.
back when cars hand bench seats they'd just throw you into the passenger seat if you fucked around and didn't know any better.

>>28474814
wat

>>28477833
And I feel like this is 95% of the reason why comfy couch bench seats don't exist anymore. I remember being a little kid and experiencing being thrown around like a rag doll on a bench seat.
