What a sight for sore eyes. I guess that thing covering the rear wheel is a sofisticated anti-theft device as those tyres have got to be worth a fortune.

This is what happens when the Government reduces funding for the insane and allows them to come out in public.

Ohh baby, now THAT'S what I should-a bought, instead of the XR8!!! And the spats (at least that's what i think they're called) over the rear wheels... very 1960... Poses 3 questions. 1. Just where would you get a set of spats for an 82 odd Cressida?? 2. Why would you buy them if you did find some??, and 3. How : must you be to think they look good?? |

Dont mess with the spats.. they are the best anti-wheelclamping device around. By thelooks of it this guy probably needs the protection too.

If I see this car again, I'll get a picture of the bonnet too....its is so bad, I deem it horrid enough to render a "I hate this car and owner club" appropriate!.........
I wonder what he thinks of our cars? Oh, to be able to spend just 3 minutes in this molluscs headspace............. :gren:

To be honest, I wouldnt underestimate the I6's in the Cressida's, they were a very nice engine in their day. I think they may have been similar to the Supra engine at one stage too.

yeah, the spats dont look too crash hot. Especially since they dont line up w/ the body line... or infact they do, but with the sill. It looks just SLIGHTLY out of place.
Nothing wrong with spats, im thinking about them for my wagon!

He has about 4 Cressida's in various state of repairs. He just sold his Supra (a nice red one) I have seen that car before at Castle hill as well. Uncle Ken:
