Is there anything Magnums don't look good on? First time I can recall seeing Magnums on an R body...very nice.

I don't know, Mr. C. Magnums/blackwalls... on a padded Landau style roof? FAIL.
Cop car R-body... Yes.

Looks decent..... that was a roll of the dice that went well

Very nice "R"-body - WITH the Magnum 500s and all. Blackwalls lookk just fine on the "C" and "R" cars, alike.

That rear door window treatment is the oddest thing I've ever seen.

It doesn't get worse than this.

Here's one I can't understand how it got out of the design studio:
Was Management on a retreat that month? Or did Accounting order that the C-piller costs had to be reduced by another dollar ninety-eight.

I still find the original post car the oddest, this door window berserk just doesn't blend;
on the Thunderbird from a distance I get the Landau coach picture; nothing I'd order but correctly executed if you MUST do it.

See it here also. Gotten the bug in me to look for one of these like a 96. An 86 TC near me with only 36,000 miles and a very good price.

The "R" car is what is called a "pillared hardtop". I really don't see the quandary about the rear door window arrangement. It was 1979. It's what was. It sold cars.

They are asking you to suspend disbelief in this case as they didn't have the money to make a 2 dr.

Mad Photoshop skillz

If the opera window was made the same height as the roll down I would rate it acceptable. Maybe. ;)

The winner and honorable mention don't belong in same post as the others IMHO.

They are at least distinctive cars, fail or not. I would be seen driving either. Not the rest

 

[tallhair]

I agree the magnums don't look right on that car but they look better than many other options. Personally hubcaps would probably look better on it

 

[polara71]

Stan obviously has HORRIBLE taste in cars

 

[commando1]

Obviously. I'm here,right???

I would have gone with white walls, myself. I was still surprised at how good the Magnums work with that car...a combination I never would have thought of.

I was just thinking last night, it's about time for some new Corvette owner's banter, it's been very quiet for one or two weeks.
