That guy is ignorant, or acting stupid, as a way to garner comments, and drive his algorithm up.
He wasn't even done talking about the Corvair and I was ready to shut him off.
I told myself he was going to get better, but by the time he tried to wrongly explain a Shooting Brake, I did shut him off completely.

As I watched my personal top-ten revealed in the first half of the countdown to #1, I kept thinking "great choices but what could possibly top these five?". Well, his choices in the higher-ranked positions, other than the 57 El Dorado, were baffling. Early '70s GP clown car? '70 Electra 225 barge? '56 Corvette over the '63?

He did qualify the list as "His personal choices" but I don't think his choices are going to go down in history as the definitive selections or order.

1970 Electra had the 455 cu in 10 :1 compression 370 HP engine as standard equipment, along with the new for '70 Estate Wagon. A GS in heavy form. :tu: In 1971 they reduced compression ( do not compare HP numbers as HP ratings also changed in 1971 to NET, so all advertised HP ratings for ALL cars dropped significantly in '71.) and added weight as the car got bulkier. Gone was that seat of the pants response of 1970 Buicks. :td:
