If you would be so kind, please post awesome cars that were being made in 1978 (or concepts from that year).

Have a 1978 M1, I was going to post an M535i but that didn’t come out until 1979.

Have a Lil Red Express. The 1978's had round headlights, the 1979s had stacked square headlights & a bar in the middle of the grill.

if you’re talking about the current LT1, I don’t see why not. AFAIK the Gen IV and V are a little more compact than the original SBC.

I’m roughly in the same boat, happy birthday.

Here’s one of the more significant new models of that year:

happy birthday old man,

on paper you are now 2 years older than me, but back to one year in less than 3 months.

Thanks, man! If you have a few minutes to spare today (or this week), I’d love to get a drawing of my 80-year-old self, wearing aviator goggles and flogging my Caterham through some twisty backroads. =)

That’s the same car my Dad had from 18-20 years old. It was the reason my parents got together. My mom asked her friends who drove that cool green European car. And she evently asked him out. My Dad wrecked the car racing his new Brother in law’s 240Z on a twisty dirt road. He wrapped the driver’s side around a tree and walked away.

Back then it just meant someone who had sex. Like artists and art, flutists and flutes, dentists and dents.
