As we sit , breathing the last dying fumes of the final days of the internal combustion engine, I thought it might be fitting to revisit some old friends - venerated and adored vehicles in which we lived, loved, and larfed. Automobiles we all know and love, that you remember fondly from your childhood. Maybe your parents drove one when you were a kid, or perhaps you drove yourself for a while. Despite their damaging effect on our bodies and the planet earth, these machines were a part of the fabric of our lives for more than 100 years. Many of us were concieved in them, and many of us have been driven to our final resting place in them, so grab your respirator and cozy up to the cathode rays as we revisit some old familiar faces from Detroit to Dusseldorf!
First up, and a bit mundane (I think my grammer school teacher had one of these) but still a favorite of mine, is the Pontiac Firebird. They made three versions, as you may recall, but they all had understated dignity - making it a popular vehicle for family types, the button down crowd.

I’ll be adding more in the next few days, so stay tuned for more swank rides!
