Coolest 4 door box to fix up/restore?

[SMEGMA STENCH]

At some point in my life, I'd like to fix up one of those old 4 door 60's looking boxes. But which one would be the coolest one to do? Currently what has caught my eye is the 1963 Oldsmobile 98. They had a lot of options that some current cars don't even come with. Like powered seats and such. Anyway, would this be a cool 4-door box to restore? Or is it lame? If so, why? And which one would be better? That a person can actually come by for some kind of reasonable price, I mean.

A VR4 Galant would be my choice, basically a sedan version of a GSX Eclipse. Or since I'm guessing you want something american I really like the Lincolns or anything else with suicide doors from the factory.

datsun 510

Not a 4 door but its a cool box.



Other than that, I think the old lincolns with rear suicide doors are sweet.

Lol, thats Todds car. I've ridden in it and it is badass, I was wondering if he still had it. I've also owned 3 510's, awesome cars for sure.

I find it kind of odd that this isn't how ALL 4 door cars are made, even now. Seems like its just a way better design, considering how much easier it is to get in and out.

But yeah I'm looking for american, 4 door. The lincoln is a little rounded off around the edges, but I would still consider it. That is why I like the olds. If you look at the back, everything looks a little more squared off.

Early '60's Chrysler anything, or AMC anything.

EDIT: BTW - 510's came in 4 door.

Black Beauty... the car from the Green Hornet modded like the one in the movie (looks wise), 1966 Chrysler Imperial.

The one in the Seth Rogen movie looked fucken awesome.

There is a reason they are called suicide doors.

Yep, get t-boned and the car will plow right through the passenger compartment.

Lincoln's are everywhere. Get a 59 Galaxie like I had

Or this. Not sure what it is. But it's sick

Lots of good options already listed. 60's - early 70's Cadillacs can look really sharp too.

My first car was a hand me down 64 Olds 98 4 door with a 425cid rocket, Talk about boil some tires. It was alot of fun and the back seat was great when going to the drive in.
