The good old days...

If I was to buy a Cordoba now...I think this is the way to build it. With working lights of course. Maybe different colours...but same idea.

Thats about as subtle as a cinder block to the cojones.....wow.

^ and you'd absolutely need the matching attire to go with that paint job.

And the moustache.

Who doesn't want to drive that!

How about Petty colours then?

Nice thing is at least you can tell (if you're old) what kind of car it is/was. Not like today...everyone follows the same template, stick your brand of grille decal on the front.

I liked it when they looked like what you could buy, more like Aussie V8 stuff. Yup, that's a Falcon!

I prefer the Petty colours for sure. I agree, the Aussie V8 stuff, world rally championship and stuff where I know the car has some sort of relationship to the cars in the showroom. Nascar is idiotic for that reason, "oh stock cars eh?? Where are all these V8, manual, rwd Camrys and Fusions?!?!".

Yup - old racecars were cool...

Isn't that a Dodge Magnum rather than a Cordoba

I knew that...but couldn't find the word. Thanks for the correction!

Torino anybody?

I think what else is cool is the look of the photos...even they feel nostalgic.

ChaosphereIX · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2018, 08:52:40 am »

yes, they were cool, and very pretty at times

Scaerio · « **Reply #10 on:** May 11, 2018, 12:35:05 pm »

I think BWII should have titled his thread "Stock Cars," if that's what he wanted to discuss...

Anyway, more racing gorgeousness.

To me rally cars have always looked like the best racing cars because they looked purposeful.
