What an awesome bunch of cars from the most exciting automotive era.  The '55 Chevy is the best of the bunch IMHO.

Just imagine having a toothy 1950 Buick UTE parked at a car show!  Imagine the comments.

Sorry, at this stage I'm not going to spend 49 minutes viewing what someone thinks is stupid or negative. BTW, I like the '58 Buick, Oldsmobile and Edsel.

After watching the film through the Thunderbirds, I decided not to continue. Talking about the cars and showing screwed up modified cars only leads to people, who are not knowledgeable about cars, to believe this is the way the cars were built. Sorry no credibility.

@sizedoesmatter I quickly grew tired of the undeserved criticism and simply muted it......then just enjoyed the images.

I'll pass on watching the video, but respond to the comment that they forgot the '58 Oldsmobile, Buick, and Edsel.  Sorry, I personally would never put any of those three cars on a Stupidest Cars list.  To my eyes, they were beautiful machines and I'd take them in REAL form or MODEL form anytime.

 @georgeschire   They put the '55 BelAir & the '55 t-bird on their list which I totally disagree  with. But the missing '58 Buick & Olds & Edsel & the '59 Chevy in my opinion are too far out for my taste any way; they already have the '59 Caddy on their list. And I'll add the '50 Studebaker as well. Everybody has an opinion,  and being opinion it can't be wrong, at least to the person expressing it.  But then I love the '61 Ford Galaxie & Mercury Monterey & Pontiac Bonneville that in the past you didn't seem to care for.

LOL, you're right we have and are entitled to opinions.  And without those opinions this Forum and conversation in general would be boring unlimited!  And you're right I find the '61 Ford and Mercury major styling disappointments.
