Okay Guys, Forgive me if this has been asked before but, Which full- size car in your opinion is the worst choice for a derby car that you have seen someone run at a derby?

I think the ? would be for a stock show where you can't even notch or limited weld show or full weld show.For a bone stock show i would say the caprice and caddys.Now for a show you can do some things any car can compete in my opinon.

My 4 door 77 Caprice in a limited weld show was terrible, rear bent right down to the ground. But was my first derby car, so it was all good experience.
Some of you are saying 65-73 fords. My '73 Thunderbird was one tough car. But earlier fords, agree completely.
