I guess that's Todd Bridges 4 pictures down, on the right, and Jesse Jackson 3 pictures up from bottom?

You can find out if you click the link I posted above the photos. Unless you lose your tea party credentials if you surf to The Atlantic. :P

Tell them that's Todd Bridges.  They don't have him identified.

I was waiting for a crack like that.  I'm telling you, that's Willis.

KRonn or gumbler, did these cars really look cool back then, or did they always give off this "piece of sloppy shit" vibe?

Some of them were cool, like the muscle cars. GTO (I had one), Firebird, Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Chevy Trans Am and more. Real classics and look great today IMO. Many of today's cars look poor in comparison to those. But some of the others from back then look so lame, sloppy, like you say. I think even then they were but we didn't have anything to compare them to.

So close to the McKenzie brothers in the last pic.

The one area in which the 70's was an unmitigated disaster was pants.

Big cars in the big city have a habit of getting big dents.

It strikes me as insane that we used to dispose of old car batteries by setting them on fire.
and the horse you rode in on
