Do you realise how much wob these had applied in the factory?

 

You can't get a five metre ship assembled by unskilled labour that's still underpaid looking straight without at least half an inch of that shit applied and thus it's exactly what Detroit did. The common number one mistake in Europe when restoring such a car is leaving it off, that's why they usually have more waves down the flanks than the Atlantic.

 

Do not assume that septic chod is even close to European tat in workmanship. It's all mackle, like their houses.

Real US car buffs like me love it. Anybody holding an English passport apparently fails to get the concept big time, that's why yanks in the UK look like they do.

 

Getting 18 feet of Imperial look straight takes 50 pounds of bog, guess how I found out.

You would be surprised just how little wob there is in a Corvair. Chrysler might have been able to pay people to apply wob to Imperials, but these things were churned out like white goods - no thought to detailing, just throw them together and get 'em out the door as quick as possible. That's what happens when you spend millions in R&D on an entry level economy car. As part-time custodian of possibly the most original, lowest mileage Corvair in the world, I'm amazed at just how shoddy a lot of the design and build quality is. Every corner that could be cut, was. But, where the paint has suffered and cracked alongside one flank, and where there is a dent on one rear wing - absolutely zero bondo anywhere. If there was some pog in the car it might actually lend a bit of weight to the panels instead of them feeling like a Friday afternoon special from the Quai de Javel.

Not one, but two manuel Aerodecks, not cheap mind, but also somewhat rare, and the same seller.

I like them (apart from the stickers on the white one). Might even be convinced to pay that kind of money for one too, if it were clean enough. There's been a steady stream of Aerodecks and Preludes recently.
