Someone traded in an Excel to us last week.  I guess they chose that name because of its ability to burn oil and rust out.

So true and yet then you have the Wheel Scene web site has the 12 best classic cars and funny that one of the cars is on their list that showed up on this list as worst.

They start their best list off with the Porsche 914 followed by the rest listed below:

 

12th place - 1975 Porsche 914

11th place - 1970 MG MGB

10th place - 1964 Ford Thunderbird

9th place - 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan

8th place - 1966 Ford Country Squire

7th place - 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet

6th place - 1970 Datsun 240Z

5th place - 1963 Studebaker Avanti

4th place - 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe

3rd place - 1970 Triumph TR6

2nd place - 1970 Pontiac GTO

1st place - 1958 Buick Limited Convertible 

 

The pictures are lovely of the various auto's, but considering how many worst and best car list are being done, I have to think this is a slow news week.
