Heavy
Metal Cruisers
1965 Imperial Convertible
(I'll actually settle for a 1965 or 1966 coupe, sedan, or convertible.)

1968 Chevrolet Impala
(Another car where I cannot decide between two years in a row! I also
love the '69!)

Pontiacs..
1968 Mercury Park Lane
This "Black Beauty" is the actual car used in the hit CBS TV Series,
Hawaii Five-O! I was really looking for a 1967 Park Lane two-door
fast back, but this is a suitable substitute. Click here

television history. Click on photo or link above to see more of McGarrett's

Modern Day Metal
A nice example of the 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, and still one of
my favorites.
(This was the first candidate for the role of the modern-day Black
Beauty!)

2003 Mercury Marauder
(This is the newest candidate for a modern-day Black Beauty)

1999 Jaguar XJR
(This is the final candidate - and in my mind, the winner - in the
quest for a modern-day Black Beauty.
It's big, sleek, fast, and exudes luxury, just like the 1966 Imperial
did in it's day!
Now, I just need to write a script and get someone to front me the
money to do the movie!!)
