Check out these wheelskirts

Early 70's grand marquis I think. It was at the gym and I noticed their factory rear wheel skirts. I somewhat doubt it was for MPG increases though
But seriously, I think it would have pushed the fuel mileage from 6.20mpg to 6.25

ps I think my grandfathers chrysler newport had them too

My '94 Buick Roadmaster has 'em too.

How cool would it be chopped and slammed?

genuine imitation wood paneling
The 2nd one looks like it has teeth (and is maybe a classic mob boss car too)

Now neither looked removable...were they?
