Motor Trend Car of the year for 1979. Looks really nice.

I liked those, when they first came out. They sort of look like mini Toronados. Again, if he's going to ask that high of a price, he should get rid of the newspaper and the modified coat hanger, before filming.

 

Oh boy! Trivia opportunity! What brand beer is that can sitting on the hood? I'm going to say Hamm's?

 

I'm goint to say Pixel beer:



I posed the trivia question to the photographer:

 

This Bud's for you. Dont' drive your Buick while drinking Kankakee River water................ Yes, does look like Hamm's, the beer that made beer drinkers drunk.

 

Tsk, tsk! Yet another example of why NOT hire a graduate of the Otis Campbell School of Photography to help take pictures of your anything for sale!

 

Wow! That was a quick answer. He reads us, afterall.

 

There are more people reading these comments than we realize. The robots are keeping notes.
Otis was a good photographer when he was sobor.

 

One of the robots probably set that beer can onto the Riviera hood, as a practical joke on the photographer, then. I dig, Sir.

 

This one looks like the best of all worlds. All the sporty performance features of the S Type but with the reliability of the 350 V8 versus the turbo V6.

 

The V-8 also has an unmistakable sound. Especially, if the exhaust system gets modified. I'm sure that the turbocharged V-6 could be made reliable, through modern upgrade.
