Rob Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have owned four Pinto cars. Two were sedans, (1971) one runabout, (1971) and a 1973 "Squire", station wagon. The wagon was the most enjoyable of all of them due to room afforded a growing family and had an automatic transmission. For the time, (1978) it really was very nice and ran well. That car was literally bulletproof as we used it for target practice once it was too far gone to save from rust.Not ashamed at all of owning them. They did me right, each and every one.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

One of these came down the lane at the auto auction a couple of weeks ago - I tried to raise the hood - the whole thing is plastic and just lifts off and you lay it down on the ground - what a piece of *&%$.

Olivetroad Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My blushing bride had a cream colored pinto - she was a car head hottie in that thing in the 80's. She was all proud of it and loaded up four friends and tried to take them to the McDonalds which here in rootin' tootin' Fulton, Missouri is on the only steep hill in town. She made it halfway up the hill and had to back down - ran out of power - fine piece of American automobile............not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This is the way I enjoy all cars.I love smashing cars - I don't care what brand you try, cars stink to drive once you drive a Mack - no power, ass feels like its draggin', you just feel like a bug waiting to get squashed.

Superdog Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I love smashing cars - I don't care what brand you try, cars stink to drive once you drive a Mack - no power, ass feels like its draggin', you just feel like a bug waiting to get squashed.I do miss it once in awhile.Never met a car that I liked unless it was smashed flat on my trailer.I had an ALJON crusher and sent several thousand 4 wheelers to the shredder.Did pretty good until price dropped from $85/ton to the high 20's and took forever to come back.Kinda glad I sold it when I did.Now that prices are sky high,it's pretty hard to buy high quantites of cars,epsecially at a price you can make decent profit,plus alot more EPA BS to deal with now.

vision386 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I like it. One of my first- well actually the first memory- of cars was a '57 Chevrolet that my grandfather traded for a new 1960 Chevrolet. Both were black with white tops. The '60 had a 283 with a powerglide, I don't know what was in the '57.I like the 55,56,and 57's and the 59 and 60 models, but I think the 58's were the ugliest.Now I think those things that look like a shoe box on wheels are about the ugliest cars. Gotta agree Tom! these thing look like a washing machine on wheels!...................................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

David Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I had a Chevy Vega for a company car once. You had to turn off the ac in order to pass another car. It was a step up when the company started buying Pintos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I had an uncle that owned one and I don't remember him having anything bad to say about it, but that was a long time ago.I did a little research after posting that. Symmetrical door skins, that seems like a good idea. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restored two through the years and they are the epitomy of simple.RobI didn't mind the Metropolitans. It was the full sized "bathtub" Nash that I thought were ugly.The time from about 1958 to 1961 was the era of "strange" in styling, as many of the cars here show. I think Dodge took the award in that time period, including the trucks.Chevy trucks showed it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear end of the Desoto was about the worst example. 1960 was a holdover and by 1961, most were gone although Cadillac stayed with it till 1964.RobRob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I never thought the Nash Metropolitan was all that bad,however the Rambler station wagon,or most any Rambler for that matter,leaves something to be desired!....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
