It's really hard to write enthusiastically about the cars of the Seventies. Except for certain models here and there, the cars got boxy and underpowered and just (yawn) boring!

But somehow I got excited about the '79 white/gold Hurst/Olds in the September 2007 Hemmings Motor News just because the owner was so excited about having and restoring it. Sometimes an owner's passion is so much more interesting than the object of his passion.
