Back in the early 1960s while a SF region SCCA volunteer I repeatedly heard Bob (or Al) Holbert use the term "Preposterous ponderous plastic pachyderm" for GM's two-seater muscle car. Bob (or Al) drove a pretty hot AC Ace and later a MK I AC Cobra (based on the Ace, complete with the transverse leaf spring on the front end). -- R. I. P. Udo V.
