    PLease try to put the link in if you are pulling a complete story from another site.
    As it may be copyright, summarising and giving the link is maybe best ?
    Unless you have media access and the right to copy-paste it's shaky ground to post carte-blanche like that

    Besides there are lots of other interesting car reports over there

    I hope you will excuse this critical remark, but seeing each time those monstruous ugly American bad-taste vehicles being forwarded as something special, beautiful etc. makes me ill - to say it nicely. Those industrial misfits will never belong to the classic scene with their hillbilly colours and likely outfit.

    Those cars are running anachronisms and I cannot understand the bad taste that produced them.

    If you come with non-molested Packards, Cords & the like - everyone will be pleasured. But save us those terrible designs from the last quarter of the 2oth century.

    Everybody to his taste, these are not my cup of tea either, but this is a free message board and there is the economic reality that many visitors of UCP do like these cars

    I agree with you, but some people do like these cars.

    Ok. I accept that, and Henk is of course right when he states that this is a free message board.
    Unfortunately I grew up in a time that the Jaguars, Delahaye's and Facel's were for the picking.
    Dfl 500,- for a Mk & Jag; Dfl 800,- for a Delahaye; Dfl 2500 for a 1937 MG Le Mans with the 6 cyl Amherst Villiers compressorised engine. Shall I continue?
    I had them all and if I see than such an American Car abuse..... Ok, let's stop
