We have a winner !


Your turn Eric !

I had originally typed 66 GTO but then changed it because I thought it was from the 67! I am starting to like this, just gotta spend more time digging!

[mikemodeler]

with it being 4 lug, it limits the possibilities, maybe.

A four lug steel wheel in 1/24th scale should be easy but I can't think of anything !
Is it a Monogram kit ?

Is it from a Civic?

Not a Monogram kit

It is not from a Civic.

Also, although the kit is a plastic model, these wheels are metal. The only metal parts in the kit. Wasn't quite sure if it showed in the picture or not.

They look something like a vw

I was so sure it was the 64, then I actually checked the box and the console is molded to the interior tub - doh!

Here is the next piece:



Yes, this is from a plastic kit.

It looks like it has been balanced too !

Not VW - not European at all.

Is it 1/24-1/25?

[TooOld]

Mustang ?

[Erik Smith]

1/24 scale. No, not a Mustang. Wrong continent.

Creeping up on 24 hours, so I'll try to throw some clues out...
There are three versions of this car - only one has these wheels. It, as guessed earlier, is a Nissan. The car is older than The French Connnection, not as old as The Endless Summer (the model itself is from 1999).

The French Connection is a 1971 movie so is it a Datsun ?
How about a Fujimi Fairlady 2000 ?

Older than the French Connection. So, before 1971. Let's see, I think this car was available as a Datsun in the US but I don't know when the name was invoked - it's labeled a Nissan on the box, but its also made in Japan, so...

Nissan B-210?

Not a 210

It's a rather popular nameplate - this particular model is of a less desireable version. It's US nameplate is "higher" than 210.
