Man, I miss the '70s! And I was born in the '80s!  :praise:

My vote goes to the Oldsmobile. It's so sexy. The Chrysler is a close second place. The Mercury is also gorgeous, but in terms of looks I find the others a bit more appealing.

Well that T&C has a few curves to it. So that looks better then the 70's box. Still........... tranny porn could be different.

My parents owned the Ford version of that Mercury.  Theirs was a 1973 LTD wagon.  I got to experience it behind the wheel and even as a young driver I could tell this was a horrible car.  The only good thing I can say about that '73 LTD is the 1977 LTD II Brougham wagon that replaced it was even worse!

Suicide.

How long is that T&C?

EDIT:  Apparently it's 224 inches long, though that picture makes it look a good deal longer.

Also, it's 6.6L V8 made 190 HP and it took 12.5 seconds to hit 60.

Acually, paint it a two-tone puke green and dark puke green, slam it to the ground, stick some smoothies on it.

The Custom Cruiser was its own model, it wasn't a member of the Olds 88 family.  In fact, it wasn't even a platform-mate of the 88, it was based on the Olds 98 (which was slighly larger).

The Vista Cruiser was an A-body car, so it was a sibling to the Cutlass and Chevelle.
