Joe Handley Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Apparently Dad and I missed out on seeing the Ice Princess and Golden Sahara II when we were at the Chicago Auto Show last Friday.........oh well....

Mark Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 There's no accounting for taste. As an accountant, I know that to be true.

Roadrunner Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I wouldn't own this thing if someone gave it to me. (I would however sell it off and buy something cool.)
STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 The League Of Gentleman 6 wheeler is pretty cool. There was a resin kit I think.

Maybe some don't remember "Thunderbirds" (The pink car) it's one of those endearing shows I grew up watching so will give it a pass. Thunderbirds are always go. that other one, Meh Edited February 26, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER
Roadrunner Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Looks like something out of a 1960's Popular Mechanics magazine.

I can't find a single detail on this thing that's attractive, and I've looked it over pretty good! It has to be one of the worst designs that I've ever seen! Steve
Bucky Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 The only part I like are the Imperial style taillights on the fins!
NYLIBUD Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 They’re ALL really scary looking.Some people just have way too much money to waste.Weren‘t these two older cars,for lack of a better term,part of the old AutoRama days?????

Steve I feel that way about a LOT of '50s-'60s customs. Not all, but quite a few. In most cases, the "customizers" didn't do the poor car any real favors.

Nitrobarry Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) The pink Rolls Royce Belonged to Penelope from the original "Thunderbirds" BBC TV series in the late 60`s. There were several shows like that: "Fireball XL-5" and "Super Car" come to mind all done in "Supermarionation"! Those shows were awesome! Better than the garbage on TV nowadays.
