You had a modified Delorean? Or ... mmm ... or was it
something like my "poor man's vette" ???
>Somehow the two are remarkably similar but the Brick has

I think there was something to do with crash impact that the
Brick had the nose, but thats a discussion I heard in anyother
area.
My mum loved her 1967 Rambler American with the 232 6 popper,
but when they convinced her that the new to the market Hornet
was better...well the silicone wasn't one of them...just
under that Yellow paint was the real "lemon" ... my dad's
Pacer was another Yellow Lemon ... thank goodness that while
it looked like a helicopter the Pacer never flew...when!
Yep ... no wonder you have such memorys of the hatchback.
Yep... in 75 before I left Chrysler, they had big problems
just keeping the engines running. Everyone sort of had a
supply of modules to replace on those cars. V8s were mmm
well ...saved by the slant six ... but only just. Engine
fires in the eights were pretty good.
>I wonder how Delorean managed with those hydraulic door
>tensioners, the AMC had the heaviest hatch on the planet.
Bricks as mentioned I think had the electric motors...but
of course there was the emergency exit. AMC also had
vaccum windshield wipers too.

My sister would have loved the Healey too...and her scarf
once came off on the highway, and I was there to steer.

I have seen the White Castle, here too. No not anymore
as before I sitdown to order I take a walk and look at the
place...and who is ordering what, as well I like to see
samples ... then I either order or walkout..going somewhere
else.
So ... the move is on, and we can type things behind your
back, and wait for time delayed remarks on this and that.
