    All very well. But does he have a 1L Corse with a huge chrome exhaust, blacked out windows, and a blue light underneath? Thought not.

    Here in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, Virginia (USA), is a firm by the name of White Post Restorations, which is currently performing off-frame, total restoration of not one, but three, 1957 Chrysler Crown Imperial Limosines, for an un-named customer (a sheikh) from a middle-east, oil-rich country. No expense is to be spared, all procedures are researched, catalogued, checked and documented.
    These Chrysler automobiles are the ones that came equipped with the famous 392 cubic-inch Hemi V-8, and 3-speed Torqueflite Automatic Transmission. Everything is power-operated (ahead of its time), steering, windows, brakes, radio aerial.
    Leather upholstery restored/replaced. Brightwork re-chromed, re-anodized
    Six coats of black Imron, two clear-coat.
    Gorgeous machines. So who cares if they get only 13mpg?!?! Style, and prestige is what this cat's after.

    holy schweppes.........but some of those are just hideous !!

    Mind you, for me, this is the top of the pile -who says estate's aren't cool ?!

    Mind you, that rear 3/4 glass looks suspiciously like the one on a Saab 9-5...


    Tell me this doesn't look awful like a 9-5 estate....

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
