My current classic. 1967 Kaiser Jeepster Deluxe Convertible.

Swapped out the front seats with modern high back bucket seats, but I have the original seats wrapped up in storage. At some point I'll have to re-chrome the bumpers, they are not bad, but lots of little rust spots. Two tone paint pattern is correct but we chose a color that is not correct because I lost the vote. The blue is actually a classic Porsche paint color called "Mexico Blue"

About 88,000 miles on the odometer.

Replaced the fuel line last year due to a leak.

At some point I may upgrade it to fuel injection but being an old carbonated engine may be nostalgic, it takes forever to 'warm up' and get running. There are advantages to modern engines.

I found this and it reminded me of Dr. Stippich.
He was our family dentist when I was a kid.
He drove a car just like this!
He was a little man who walked with a cane, always had a cigar in his mouth out in public.

Big car for a little man lol

I'd never ever heard of this till today.
They labeled it General Motors Motorama 1949 to 1961.

Sure looks like a relative to the Corvette. Have any of you seen one of these.

From what I found General Motors Motorama was a GM Auto show. Not an actual vehicle. But a show to show off concept cars and prototypes. I have no clue what the vehicle pictured is.

Edit: The one in the background I think is a 1955 Buick Wildcat concept car
The one in the foreground looks like a 1954 Olds F88 concept

Not sure on the car. Looks like a modified early 60s vette. The metroliner bus in yhe background is cool. I recall seeing a restored one go for 4million ish on barrett Jackson a few years ago.

You are right on both counts.

YIKES, I really can't match that Cord.

Here are a couple more photos of my 1967 Kaiser Jeepster DeLux Convertible. We restored it about 6-7 years ago but now it needs a bit of engine work and a few touch ups.

I really probably need to drive it more. It's also very dusty!!! Top needs a good treatment of Armorall.

I once owned one just like this.
1969-Plymouth-Barracuda.jpg

383 w 4BBL carburation. Torque flite tranny.
I'd punch it and create a cloud of smoke. When it cleared the car was GONE!
I called it my David Copperfield impression.
Parked in front of my house, a woman driving with a fogged up windshield totaled it

I bought a 66 Chevelle Malibu for just 595 in 1970. It had 90k miles on the 283 power plant. It was maroon like the one below but mine was convertible. . Boy what I'd give to have that car once again.
