I'm talking about "looks like it just drove off the lot" types. Time to go through your jpg folder and post some of those long forgotten pics, but stock babes need lovin, too.
Who'll be first?

Well, as in the case with mine, it was just well maintained by the original owner-I am the second owner. A lot of these cars were used and abused by previous owners-namely stupid young girls who's daddy bought them a cute car. (for anyone reading and getting yourself worked up: Extinguish those flames now, I did not say all of them, and you know this was the targeted market for these cars!)
With that being said, most of the beautiful Cabbies that I have seen have had a lot of time and money put into them, look a lot less "girlie" but also are far from stock. Could be because they needed some rebuilding anyways, so why not do it "your way". And I find no harm in that. But there is something to be said about the simple beauty of a car that is as old as some of these that is in pristine original condition-so I was looking for more samples and inspiration.
