They look even stupider in real life. I saw one the other day. I averted my eyes lest my mirth too boisterous be.

I avert my gaze so as to keep my gorge down.
Look like trains from that angle
They have no style or class.

Its a Zubr car. Best part is one can say this out side this site and everybody will think just the oposite and you having a cold.

Always wanted one of these, a '58 Eldorado, but I'd want a convertible, this one is for sale for a cool $200k.:

Agreed, I'd take either, in fact, the early Perry Mason episodes for the first two years he drove a '57 Eldo convertible.

The early Mannix TV shows had the star driving something I have never identified.

Probably the only Dodge product (other than the 1986 Chrysler-built Jeep Cherokee I owned from 1986-2002) that I would own.
Interesting history for this 1956 - purchased from the dealership by a newly-founded monastery (the Charterhouse of the Transfiguration) on Mount Equinox in Sandgate, Vermont - its original finish was Bermuda Coral-pink.
The brothers of the Order of Carthusians had purchased 7,000 acres at the top of Mount Equinox in Sandgate, Vermont, and they needed a workhorse to build the complex - which included the building of two hydroelectric dams to power their monastery.
53 years later, the monk (Brother Michael) who had cared for it since the purchase decided it needed to be retired, and told Gerald "Jerry" Mattison (at that time mountain manager and business director for the Carthusians) that he "should buy it" and stared at him until he agreed.
Since Jerry is a Vermont State Fire Warden, there was only one possibility for the restoration theme.

I am 100% not a pickup guy BUT... I couldn't pass this by. 1996 Ranger with about 55k miles. Looks really clean in the 5 seconds I had to look at it.

Bah...Dodge trucks were ugly - except for the 1940's through 1950's Power Wagons.
And this is coming from a former 1973 1-ton Dodge pickup owner.

Yes!
While she might have been baby blue, I'd grab that Jeep Wagoneer at the front of the truck line along the right!
