I agree with all your options but the supercharged cars. They were too funny looking and it made me think less of Cosby's taste in cars.
As a car collector friend once said about Frank Sinatra;
"I never liked his taste in cars and I never liked his taste in women but, he did sing great."

CSX2196....THE CAR THAT STARTED THE BIG BLOCK, GREAT HISTORY, AND WITH KEN MILES "SPIRIT". AFEW YEARS BACK CARROLL WAS A AN AUTO SHOW AND ACTUALLY HAD A TEAR IN HIS EYE WHEN HE REFELECTED ABOUT MILES AND THE CAR. AS FOR THE PAXTON CARS, ONLY CARROLLS STILL EXIST...COSBY'S IS GONE FOREVER.
