Don't forget the oem car tents. This is one for a Vega. I guess you sleep curled up into a ball.
Pinto Crusing wagon, I saw one this summer and it's actualy way cool in a 70's way. The car I saw was a one owner vehicle.

OK, OK, it's Tartan, not Plaid. Plaid is a piece of cloth or clothing, not a pattern. Tartan on the other hand is the pattern on the cloth. Dang lazy 'Muricans!
Oh, and I loved the red TARTAN interior on my TR7
Nautica was a brand meant to evoke rich people sailing off Nantucket, but they mostly sold at JC Penny and were worn by people who couldn't afford Izod. So Mercury decided to release a Nautica Edition. When I think "style" I think JC Penny and Mercury!
Gold Plating. Gaudy and just plain wrong on most cars:
A real crime on the Spirit of Ecstacy.
(a factory option to this day)
I was talking to a guy yesterday who made a bucketload of money goldifying badges. He now has more money than remaining years and wants to spend both on a Westfield.

Lotus Esprit S1. Note the yellow exterior, that particular car is not for the man who is afraid of standing out.

I can't find a good image for this car, which was the 2nd-to-last 928 ever made. I remember better pictures, and the color is much more vivd than shown here. The interior is matching leather, with a ton of violet-colored piping and leather trim. Actually, I'd rock it, too, but it's definitely questionable.
My older brother had a 77 Civic CVCC, which makes it cool. 
It was bright red. Still cool in an original Mini sorta way. 
It had a white vinyl top. 
This is as close as I could find:
Anyone ever feel that the 70's was essentially the world's hangover after the 60's? Or was it the point in time when the party should have ended, but instead it just got REALLY crazy? I was born in 77, so I can only look back from a historical standpoint.

Fixed.
Great, now I want a Mod Top.
Pontiac Aztek with a built-in tent. Problem is, the tent is too small and doesn't cover the front of the car as well.

The '70's was the hangover of the '60's. Some kept partying, some felt the pain.

Then how do you explain the 80's?

Cocaine is a hellofa drug!
The 80s were next weekend's party.
In reply to neon4891: There is no explaining the 80's neon, and I remember~ the end of the 50's.
The stripe packages on the Mustang II King Cobra make the Trans Am's screaming chicken look downright tasteful in comparison:
Gucci's had a history of making special editions with car manufacturers. Behold, the Gucci AMC Hornet!
The Gucci Cadillac Seville!
And the Gucci Fiat 500!
Actually, I like the 500. Looks nice.
Speaking of Tartan interiors, I still pine for a late 70s Challenger(Sapporo) with their sweet ass insides.
Gucci sounds like the noise a random body part would make.

Plaid can be referred to as a material or a pattern. Tartan is the most common plaid pattern.
Harlequin VW's are hideous! Someone post a pic, please.
