Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Did the old Abarths use the trunk lid as a spoiler? |

Yes, although I thought that was because they couldn't close it. |

Why not? Big engine/exhaust? |

Why not? Big engine/exhaust? Air cooling. AFAIK they left the engine cover open so the engine wouldn't overheat. |

The cover did not fit perfectly over something on the Arbarth engine so they took advantage of that and just left it open for cooling. IIRC it could be sorta shut to keep the rain off while parked. |

What I like about the Plymouth is that the 'Plymouth' logo on the rear quarter panel doesn't seem to line up with anything, it's not level, it doens't flow with the lines of the car...like a typical Detroit product of its day, fit and finish aren't important. |

426 Hemi. Different priorities in the muscle car era. Not necessarily bad priorities.  |

I suppose the Abarth could have used a deflector/wing combo.  |
