Brown cars: Only Mopars get to pull it off

slant6billy · Sep 25, 2016

Saw a few brown Mopars yesterday

Funny thing was, the woman was going off that the doba should be a different color. That boiled my blood pressure. She fussed about the blingy wheels and how they made the car. Some people don't appreciate what is classy design. The wheels don't kill the car, but a better mopar 5 on 5 or any 15" factory mag would always do this doba justice. I hope the owner does not repaint it some hiphop color scheme, but it is his car to do as he pleases.

Mopars can wear browns and earth tone colors like no other car. Always killer!

That Magnum is sweet.
The Doba looks like my Caravelle colour (MU3). I love that colour. Except for the gomer wheels that's a sweet looking ride.

Why people think those retarded oversized rims look good on a classic car look good is beyond me. There's a guy a few blocks from me with a 68 Galaxie and he's got those goober wheels on it. Totally ruins the look of the car IMO.

THIS is a good look for a brownish Mopar.

Again... wearing brown awesome

We pissed off the woman for sure. Not too mention some old schoolers went off about Aspens with "Stupid" side louvers. Again some peoples tastes are their own.

I wonder how the purple Aspen Super Coupe did at auction yesterday?

How to make a really cool Mopar look absolutely ridiculous......

I've always heard people say the wheels make or break the car, and I agree. To each their own however, oversize 20" wheels look horrible on a car not designed for them. A new Challenger looks fine with 20", was designed for that size. A car designed for 14" or 15" wheels? Not so much.

The '78 Cordoba I owned in the late '80's through early '90's was the same brown as the Magnum and I really liked it. No bling wheels though, just 15" steel with the stock wheel covers and normal size whitewall tires. (I know, crappy photo, sorry)

The Ricardo Montalban jokes aside, those mid to late 70's dobas were good lines. the Magnums too. The designers were not copying GM or Ford or anyone. Style was attitude. The designers had "out in Front" thought. Jellybean and crossover SUV cars of today are so limp and lame. We saw a Nissan maxima on fire yesterday on the way up to e town. As long as the occupants got out.... let the turd burn, I say. No tears. Kind of why I drive my 15 year old honda care free. It has no style, no soul, nothing special. I told Gator on the way back, let the honda burn down. It just means one more mopar in the garage. At least that's the one of many excuses I will use on my wife.

That Cordoba was one of the most favorite cars I've ever owned and still miss it 20 years after it went to the great cruise in the sky (stupid road salt.............)

I love that Doba platform. I've always wanted a first year Doba or the 300 version.

slant6billy · Sep 25, 2016

And let me tease the masses so

me more, with this long lost mopar brand. 58 DeSoto

Aspen500 · Sep 25, 2016

Not too high on the extreme top chop but otherwise,,,, nice! Love that color.

Jack Meoff · Sep 25, 2016

Yeah.....I don't love the fab work but it is a beautiful land yacht that might have wound up crushed otherwise.

Aspen500 · Sep 25, 2016

Those DeSoto's are sharp looking cars when bone stock as well, along with the Chrysler's of the same era. Example, 1960 Chrysler 300 letter car,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sweeeeeeeeeet!

I'm a huge fan of pretty much everything Exner ever did.

Back to the brown theme, we had a neighbor who had a brown 77 New Yorker more door. That car looked fabulous in that deep brown color.
