    It's happening----no matter how ugly you thought they were the car collectors' sights are moving "up the food chain". Now the Wall Street Journal is profiling collectibility in the early-mid 70's stuff that we all though once was butt-ugly!---You know, the Gremlin, Matador, those big bumpered Starsky and Hutch Torinos.

    I think GM, Ford, Mopar were drinking the Koolade in this era--those designers were so wacked out on whatever their hallucinigenic drug of choice was that day that they designed some pretty obnoxious stuff (of course I saw the UGLIEST dam! SUV coming to work today I have ever seen---it beats the Lincoln Navigator even!---the new Nissan large SUV--uuuuuuuugly!).
    But you got to admit some of the cars, looking back, are kind of cool. Also remember--this was the beginning of the dark ages and the wretched excess that haunted Detroit til the late 80's.
