    My favorite part about the Prelude is the awesome dash.

    The 1978 one:

    The later ones were even cooler! This is one from the 1991-1996 production:

    It had side monitors that aren't in the shot, unfortunately. I think I would spend more time looking at the dash than the actual road. :p

    The second one is actually from a Honda S2000
    This is a 1991-1996 prelude gauge cluster

    However to stay somewhat OT, ill add do the thread
    Porsche 911 (901) A great example of timeless design, considering Porsche still uses its overall shape today without their new cars looking old.

    Honestly gonna be a bit biased, since it's my car, but the 1976 Valiant Duster just has an amazing looking body, for such a "common" car.


    sadly, the only things still stock on this is the right door, the hood, and the engine, everything else has been replaced by the previous owner, still runs like a dream, when it actually can run, that is.

    Skoda 105, a beauty in my opinion and a better car than the overrated "Boxtype" Lancer.


    1976 Chrysler New Yorker, my favorite car of all cars, although i get weird looks for it, i give them a big f@ck you.

    I love those old USSR vehicles. There's just something special about a car that looks like it's about to drag you off to the Gulag :)
    To add to the list:
    Skoda Felicia


    сука blyat: The car.


    Skoda 1000mb


    Tatra 603



    ....and any car featured in this video:

    BTW I highly recommend VisioRacer's videos, plenty of interesting info about parts of the automotive world that often get overlooked, and being from czechoslovakia, he knows quite a bit about communist cars :)

    I've always loved the 1973 Cadillac DeVille/Fleetwood line. My uncle has a '73 Coupe DeVille similar to this with a White vinyl hardtop on white paint with a black paisley cloth interior and an 8 track player. That thing floats. If you've ever been to Michigan you know how bad our roads are, and this car sails through the potholes so nice you don't even notice the bumps. 472CI V8 making about 9-12 MPG.

    I prefer the 1976 Cadillac DeVille because the square lights look better in my opinion but i can see you point.

    I prefer the 1976 Chevy Kingswood Estate Wagon because these wagons are the best station wagons ever made in my opinion.

    (Yes, 90s cars can be considered classic vehicles)

    Ones that are relatively cheap and in my area.

    In terms of dream classics, I'd like to get my hands on a late 60s American luxury car (or a 70s/80s one, barring that).

    Better at what?

    It's not yet a classic. 940s are still just ordinary old daily driver cars in most places.
