I'm not usually drawn to luxo-barges but I'm liking that Toronado.
The '67 AMC Rogue caught my eye, but then the last picture raised the hood. Uh-oh.
So, not trusting my memory, I looked it up. HOT ROD magazines web site had this:
"Bill HolderwriterPhil KunzphotographerJan 26, 2015
"There were several indications that the 1967 AMC Rambler Rogue was a muscle car, but the model remained mostly unknown in the performance arena. On paper it had impressive credentials: a two-door hardtop that weighed less than 3,000 pounds and was powered by a ('67-only) 343ci, 280-horse powerplant. Behind the V-8 was a BorgWarner close-ratio T10 four-speed and a Dana 20 rearend with 3.54 gears and a Track-Loc. In many ways it was the predecessor of the dramatic SC/Rambler and The Machine models that would follow.
"And yet the Rogue had long been identified among AMC's stogy cars for older adults. There had never been much attention paid to performance.
"Plus, in 1967 the pony car competition was overpowering. The Mustang had a three-year head start on the Rogue, weighed 150 pounds less, and could be ordered with a 390 powerplant worth 320 ponies. And then there was the Camaro, introduced in the same model year and available with up to 375 hp from the brutal 396 family.
"Most important, the Mustang and Camaro used new body designs, while the Rogue was just a slicked-up Rambler. In fact, the Rambler name was on the rear valance and in the grille. Not good!"
The only two worth looking at are the 49 Mercury and the 55 Chevy.

Probably the lowest mileage Toronado in the world. Never saw "original tires" like these before.
Always hated skirts on Foward-look cars. Looking at that Desoto IMO, it's easy to see why.
I just noticed the innovative use of brake lights below the backlight. Nice !
Nah...they look like 'go-karts' to me, lol !
I agree 101%
I really like the Rogue..... well, maybe after the BelAire
Sorry, but this was about the ugliest Toronado ever designed. Love the original.
I would add the 50 Ford to that as well.
+1 Nice car but skirts detract.
Rogue is different and nice but screams for an "8".
'55 Bel Air for me.
