Anyone remember this one?

Looks like a modded Pontiac GTO?

Sorta, I can see the resemblance. But not near the motor of the GTO nor distinctive split grille. This was its cousin....

Dodge Stratus. A total POS.

Zoomed in- is this what you spied?
No idea but looks cool as hell.

Zoomed in from your pic above.

Close. Same era, but Stratus was a 4-door.

Dodge Avenger, unsure if that is a body kit or not. That amphibious car, I've seen it before but can't remember the specifics.

You're right, those are 1st gen (1995-2000), which was called Avenger. Tough to tell at a glance with the bodykits. The 2nd gen (2001-2006) was renamed Stratus to match the sedan.

As I recall, that version of the Avenger was actually done on a Mitsubishi platform, Mitsubishi designed. Its interior had strong Mitsubishi-overtones.

Very close. They are all on Chrysler's D platform, which went through various version and revisions, and as you correctly point out, was originally derived from the Mitsubishi Galant. The 1st gen Sebring/Avenger were on a version of D referred to as FJ. The contemporary 2nd gen Eclipse/Talon were on a version of D called PJ (1st gen Eclipse/Laser/Talon were on BD, another variant). These were combined for the 2nd gen Sebring/Stratus coupe and 3rd gen Eclipse, on the ST-22 platform, the final derivative of D.

Packard, 1955 or 1956 but they used unusual model names like Parisienne, Caribbean, Executive, Clipper Super. My guess would be Caribbean or Executive. My dad had a 1955 Clipper Super that had a huge V8 and an adjustable suspension.

Correct....a 1955 Caribbean convertible.

i just posted a video-review in Car Chat, BTW (not my own) of a 1955 Packard Patrician, more or less the sedan-equivalent of the Caribbean. Packard reviews are difficult to find.

When I was real young a man on our block had a 1955 Packard and I was fascinated by it. It was bigger than most of the other cars around and, had a two-tone paint job!
