[FWDLK] "Top 10 List" for 1998

["Robert Whitman" <rwhitman@xxxxxxxx>]

The winner of the Forwardlook Mailing List Top 10 is:

1.  1974 AMC Matador X 2dr

O.K.,   Maybe not.  But if it was, would the "book value" of it go up?

Thanks to all who volunteered their top ten.  That was what we needed to
get an understanding of how weird (not mainstream) our tastes are.  I
would agree that this list is a good representation of what this group
enjoys in automobiles.

The column "POINTS" is the tally of points accumulated by each car.
(Cars that got a #1 pick got 10 points, a #2 pick got 9 points,.......a
#10 pick got 1 point.)

The "VOTES" column is the tally of the number of you who put that car on
your list.

RANK        CAR                    POINTS         VOTES
1          '58 Plymouth                86                  11
2          ''60 Chrysler                 41                   6
3          '59 Dodge                    38                   5
4          '60 Dodge                    26                   3

5          '61 Chrysler                  25                   3
7          '67 Ply. GTX/Satellite    23                   4

10         '59 Cadillac                  22                   3

That is the "Official Top 10" for the Forwardlook List!  All but 3 are
Forwardlook cars and all but one are MoPars.  Just as I suspected.  Here
are the next 10+:

11        '58 DeSoto                   21                  3
12        '?? Duesenburg             20                  3
13        '62 Chrysler                  18                  2
13        '56 Dodge                     18                  2
15        ''55 Chevrolet                 17                 2
16        '61 Imperial                    16                 2
16        '68 Dodge Charger          16                2
16        '58 Dodge                      16                2
19        '60 DeSoto                     14                2
19        '70 Barracuda                 14                2
21        '57 Dodge                       12               2
21        '70 Coronet/Superbee      12               2
23        '58 Chrysler                    11               2

That's all the cars that got 11 or more points (almost 25).  I stopped
at 11 because that is the lowest point value to guarantee at least 2
votes.  I hope you enjoyed this.  We should do this again in 1999 to see
how this list changes.

Thanks to all who participated.  -Robert
