Went to the new car show the other day, as usual the Ford,Chevys and Morpar stuff was there, along with the usual gang of Japanese, European cars including a few exotic types. But what really impressed me was a small display of Saleens. There was two Focuses (Foci?) and a S281. I have seen only one S281 previously, other than on the tube, and it was cruisin' down the road. Got to do that touchy feely thing - drool drool, lust lust. 375hp of macho go fast I want one.
I also sat in the Chrysler 300 and Magnum station wagon couldn't see out of them too well. One needs to be about 3 or 4 carlengths back from a traffic light be able to see them. I am 6'2" so short people may not have this problem. The three cars I liked the best or at least fit me are the Caddy CTS, Mustang (any version would do) and the Mazda 6. They wouldn't let me within arms length the Aston Martins etc - go figure.
Anyway I'm saving up for LADA or YUGO restoration project

I noticed one of those Magnums in a parking lot not too long ago and I thought to myself the same thing. It looks cool and all to have that kind of "chopped" top look but I that the windows looked awfull small :yes:

It is a great looking and has a "presence" that most cars today lack. Once inside it is like sitting a small dark tunnel. BTW the Mazda display didn't have any pink Miatas

Don't know about the Fleetwood but an early Mustang II or Chevy Vega would be doable.
