Nope. Looks like a cross between a Chrysler and an Eldorado.

Looks can be deceiving. It’s not a luxury automobile, it’s a Fiero.

I've seen them before. Zimmer is better known for their neoclassic car (although it's not to my taste either.) Interestingly, the company is still around and is owned by a different Zimmer who's no relation to the original company owner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmer_(automobile)

Yes. Fugly. Almost as bad as the Stutz Blackhawk.

Zimmers are ok, but the Stutz Blackhawk's are downright awsome! The later Stutz had a Grand Prix drivetrain.

I wouldn't kick a '72 Stutz Blackhawk out of my garage.... but I wouldn't let that Zimmer on the property.

Recognizing that there was a market need for Fiero's with a long, Lincolnish schnozz was brilliant.

The Zimmer Quicksilver is the answer to a question that nobody asked.

Elvis may have had the first one offered to the public. They had gold plated trim on the interior. The early split window cars are commanding high dollar now.

I looked at this car the other day, surprisingly it is in very nice condition. The current bid on the car is $5000.00. I think the wife and I are going to go over to the auction to see who bids on it.

It’s quite the car for 5-8k. Never going to be ultra collectible but it’s different and kinda cool.
I’m amazed they made an 86 Fiero look like an 85 Riviera. |

I stopped at the shop that is getting this car ready for auction yesterday. I did not realize that the car has only 300 miles on it. They have replaced the fuel pump and the oil pressure switch and the car now runs .

We went to the auction and the Zimmer sold for $11,750.00. Bidding between the phone and floor was quite brisk, the guy on the floor won out.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
