Dang Murf, I don't blame you for reporting them. How dare they let that top trim hang loose like that!

Well, having the spare tire there certainly opens up some trunk space...

By the way, rumor has it that Brisco is going to get some of these for the Pimpster since the orange car in this thread is so fly...

LOL. I found that photo in an old forgotten computer folder from a few years back. It might have been on classicccars.com? Somewhere in upstate NY, from memory.

Although the continental style Christmas wreath I did on mine last year was about the same level of absurdity...

And I am sad to say I have seen that perfect interior, in person - it's even uglier up close!

The worst part about that interior is that while it was ugly, it was a great upholstery job. The guys Mom did it, and she put a lot of time into it.

Anyone care to guess the fabric? It looks familiar for a reason, most everyone has seen it at one point...
I remember when no one wanted the 1500s......

I'd have to guess it was curtains for a movie theater?

Think of something you sat on as a kid, usually not comfortable while being shushed.
While ugly, those seats were SO comfortable. They disappeared on bulk garbage day before the truck came, so odds are they are in a Toyota somewhere in Newark.
