Imperial

An underated car made by Chrysler Co. First appeared in the 20's. In the late 50's, it was sold as it's own model to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln. It failed though, due to obvious reasons. There was no seperate "Imperial" dealership. Imperials were sold in Chrysler dealerships, and customers thought of them as a higher priced Chrysler with a different badge. Poor quality was another factor, as they had rust and mechanical problems. By 1964, the Imperial ditched it's outdated rust prone 50's style for the nicer boxy look similar to the Lincoln Continental. This body style was used in the 2011 movie "The Green Hornet". 1964-1968 were probably the best years for the make. 1969-1973 models were quite impressive looking too, with huge grills, and a sleek fuselage bodystyle. 1974 introduced an even bigger body style that came out at the wrong time. With the gas crisis in full swing, Chrysler decided not to waste anymore time on an already failing marque. So the last Imperial was made in 1975.

Several attempts to resurect the name have happened, what with the 1981-1983 bustle back coupe that nobody liked. And the 1990-1993 boring small 4 door sedan that looked like all other Chrysler cars at the time.

Max: I just saw "The Green Hornet" at the movie theatre. Dude....that black car was fuckin' awesome. What was it, a Lincoln??
Pat: It was a 1964 Imperial Crown. The Black Beauty...One bad ass ride!

AMC Eagle

The rusty old stationwagon you see outside abandoned gas stations in redneckville USA, haha!!

No seriously, it's a unique 4WD car made from 1980-1988. Availabe in coupe, sedan, and wagon which was the most popular. Has the same 70's body style as the AMC Hornet, which is why it was dubbed uncool throughout it's life. Now days you rarely see any in good condition, as rust was a huge problem on these cars.

Everytime I see an AMC Eagle, it's always a rusty beat to hell junker parked outside of an abandoned business. I guess nobody liked these things.

7th Heaven

A terrible TV series that came out in the mid 90's and ended in 2007 (finally). Focusing on the lives of the Camden family in some made up California town. The cast were all physically attractive goody two shoes types, that wore over done make up, and the plots always focused around learning some lesson, and then everything is back to normal. It was basically one of those "we have some minor problem now" but "everything will end well" type shows. Totally unrealistic, aimed to young kids, and if they actually think families act like the Camdens in real life, then they're very dumb.

7th Heaven was just terrible. The blond haired kid Simon was a total twerp who'd get beaten up in real life. Lucy and Mary both dressed like skanks and wore way to much make up, and as for Ruthie she was an annoying brat who went the same way as her sisters as she grew up. I'm convinced the only good character was the family dog, haha.

Jersey shore

One of the dumbest shows on MTV. The women are catty bitchy shrews that aren't even attractive, and the guys are all wannabe macho men who suffer from penis envy. Do yourself a favor and watch something else, 'cause this is crap.

I watched about 10 minutes of Jersey shore last night before changing the channel in disgust. What a bunch of crap.

chevy chevette

A small boring 4 cylinder car made by Chevy from 1976-1987. This was the car for the ultimate cheapskate. It was meant to replace the Vega in the small car line up, but was still just as crappy. Mid 70's models included a "woodie" version with fake wood trim usually seen on stationwagons. And there was also a bare bones "scooter" version which didn't even have a backseat or a glove compartment. In 1979 the Chevette was given a minor face lift with square head lights, and it stayed the same until 1987 when it was replaced by the badge-engineered "Geo" brand of General Motors.

Kid1: I bet my little red wagon could go faster then then that crappy Chevy Chevette!!
Kid2: LMAO, I bet!! Even my Moms Pacer looks better then that crap box!!

Vista Cruiser

A mid-sized station wagon made by Oldsmobile from 1964-1977. Noted for it's cool dome like skylight over the back passenger seats, and it's small glass panels on the top of the rear windows that curved into the roof. 1964-1967 models had a some what blocky shape, and 1968-1972 models had the popular coke bottle body style. But in 1973 it was downsized and lost it's unique roof treatment. While still an attractive looking wagon with it's woody trim, it just looked like every other GM mid-size wagon at that time, and never got much attention. It was axed in 1977 and replaced with a downsized Cutlass model.

In the TV series "That 70's Show" the character Eric Foreman owns a gold 1969 Vista Cruiser.

Chrysler Fifth Avenue

A luxury car made by Chrysler, from 1983-1989. Had a V8 engine and a comfy interior. While not technically a full-sized car, it was the biggest car Chrysler made in the 80's. The boxy styling dated back to the 1977 LeBaron and was just given minor styling updates with a Fifth Avenue badge.

The Chrysler Fifth Avenue was probably the best thing Chrysler offered in their 4 banger "K car" obsession during the 80's. You can get them cheap now, and theres alot still driving around.
