Bodysntacher, yes, that's indeed "oldschool" makes me think of The Monkey's old ride...I think it was a customised Pontiac stationwagon...or Ambulance

The "Monkeemobile" was a converted '66 Pontiac GTO sedan compliments of George Barris. There were 2 made for the show. Great link here:

Haulin Hearse is another cool '60s car. I built this model when I was a very young boy. It came complete with a casket that slid in and out of the back (the back gate actually opened and closed!):

My current ride is a 2004 Jeep Rubicon ... best all-around offroad machine ever; I wouldn't trade it for the world. Now, for a purely cool cruiser, I would like to lay my hands on a 1957 Chrysler New Yorker 2-dr, hard or soft-top w/ a 392 HEMI. Yea baby! (where'd I put my drink?)

Here's a perfect specimen:
