The 101 and 105 series Alfa Romeos are the best handling live axle cars that I have ever driven. Lots of fun to drive.
Randy, here is one of the '51 Frazer convertibles top up with the top down version to compare. The '49 Frazer Manhattan was also done by Conquest/M...
GM's '58s were generally an exercise in bloated excess. I am not a big fan of those cars but I never fail to acknowledge the sheer volume of chrome...
