It was always the best when he caught someone running away... as if!

Hilarious fight scenes. The belly bumps ruled.

As Abe Simpson would say, there's a haircut you can set your watch to.

Even more incredible, the owner said it was an unrestored survivor. Crazy.


My mother drove a silver one of these when I was a child. I accidentally closed the garage door on it and broke the antenna. It was also so large my father ran it into the forward garage wall. I am thinking this was 75ish. My younger sibling was not born yet.

It really is amazingly huge. That's got to be at least a six dead hooker trunk.

The condition is what was most striking to me.

Not a good picture, but you don't see many E12s on the road these days.

EVERY body panel was rusted out in a similar fashion to the trunk. I wonder what the original color was. How come the wheels haven't fallen off yet?
