That's a good looking motor. Although I like the car it seems a bit awkward looking. I can't really put my finger on it.

I like the XLR.

The front end on that Sixteen is loooong, like the V16s of the past.

Styling changes with era

It looks like a 90's Caprice or Impala if you were on LSD.

I'm not saying that I don't like it. I just think it's a acquired taste.

Ill take one of these.

I never owned a long hood but I've always like them.

I'm still on the lookout for a 76 Monte Carlo. My wife had one as a teenager. It was black, no vinyl roof , burgundy leather swivel seats, and one heck of a long hood. I'm trying to find a duplicate. Yeah good luck with that.

**special-K** · 08-11-2022, 07:10 PM

I was looking for a '71 Monte Carlo when I found the '63 Riviera I had.

Paul, if you like that El Dorado you should like this thing from 1970. No coincidence on the same wheels. Same engine (500) and transaxle, only moved to mid-engine. This car is so sexy not just any name would do, so they named these custom blends of Cadillac and Ferrari the NART. Catchy, isn't it? Has a nice ring to it. so exotic

It stands for North American Racing Team. Interesting

NART???

That sounds like something you have to go to the doctor to get removed.

Good thing it wasn't the French American Racing Team.

Cool car though.

Buick had 3 hole Vents and also 4 hole ventaports

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-12-2022, 03:01 PM

So do donuts have Ventiports or Ventaports or whatever they're called.

**special-K** · 08-13-2022, 06:00 AM

All this talk about Cadillac concept cars and we overlooked the Avista. Not exactly a brick. GASP! They went to a single fender port!

Never heard of it. But it gets a big thumbs up from me. But I doubt I'd like the price tag.
