This posting is obviously open to opinions, some liking the car and some not so much. I can tell you one thing guys, this isn't anywhere near as pathetic as the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air monster 4- wheel drive I saw for sale in Bryanston or Ballymote probably about 18 years ago or so. It was of course fire engine resale red and just looked ridiculous! The sad part was the body looked to be in mint condition. It was so noticeable over everything else because it sat so high; well above even the pickup trucks for sale on the lot. As I finish off here, I only have three words to say about that car and that is "Grow a brain!" Hearkens me back to American Graffiti when the guy yells to Toad: "What a waste of machinery!"

Im sell my 1957 2 door coupe for $1200.00. It is on a 1985 blazer k5 4x4 frame. Has a 350 motor in it. Not sure if it runs. Cars not in the best of shape rusted out. In my eyes bodies crap but the powertrain seems good. As Is. I was going to put some other body on the frame but I dont have the time.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
A hack. I owned a (at that time late model) 69 and a 72 (not much difference between them) and they were definately 4 doors. Stretched wheelbase compared to Cutlass at the time. Something strange about the rear quarter windows on this car, I will post some pictures of my 69 tomorrow ...

Before it's crushed, better hang on to that trunk latch! That's gotta be rare
Hey! That's the same trunk latch that came with my car! Except I got a correct latch and new lock, so I basically got a free bungie cord with my car, eh?

2 door cutlass supreme with the roof grafted onto the top. fugly.
Ah. That explains why the door doesn't look like either of the Vistacruiser doors, and that weird side window. Must have been a rear clip used to get the tailgate. And I agree, it is fugly.
