The chassis design on these cars is very good at a combination of handling and road isolation. When I got this car from a family member back in 1988 so I could relieve my '66 Pontiac of "daily driving" duties, I just loved the way it rode and handled, to the point I modified the brakes, steering box, and geometry on my '66 to give it a similar feel. I used this for a daily driver ever since, racking up 500000 miles on it.

I agree, hence why I have owned so many. They are just modern enough to drive well, but not have some of the annoyances of a modern car. The styling is another feature I always loved.
The chassis was so proven, with little modification, it was used for the hugely popular 1977-96 full size GM's.
