MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Keep this up and we'll have to start an "Old-Older" game. (You're old if you remember this and older if you remember that)
  2. Ahh, curb feelers. My grandparents had the metal rods on their (even then old) Nash Ambassador. Always knew when they arrived at our house.
  3. Wonder what amount of lateral impact will cause the bumper to...just...fall...off. One can only ask so much of glue.
  4. There appear to be aspects of the Monza kit that would lend it to be converted to a Dekon racing version but its more a case of "suggested by" rather than a "basis for" a conversion.
  5. I recall a number of Revell Whip-Fly It kits (F-105, F-84, F-100) in 1961/1962 era.
  6. Unique color and a racing provenance? $45 million. Didn't the last (publicly acknowledged) sale of a 250 GTO go for $35-$37 million?
  7. "Nothing Goes Over My Head... My Reflexes Are Too Fast. I Would Catch It." Drax the Destroyer
  8. Late model Bentley convertible in a screaming Chartreuse at a car wash. Wealth ≠ good taste.
  9. A well used but not abused 1959 El Camino, white over a multi-patterned green. Calif license "59 LKEY"
  10. Nevermind, its dropped off. Accurate Min Mclaren for $24.99 with shipping of $34,299. Relisted at a more normal price
  11. Part of my extensive experience with Crown Vics, I periodically had to investigate collisions involving UPS trucks. It always seemed amusing that when a tow truck was called for their trucks, the tow truck contract mandated that the UPS logos be covered by duct tape or some such when "on the hook". Like no one would notice this massive brown brick-shaped vehicle and not know exactly who owned it?
  12. Original, restored, or a "continuation"? I noticed the 50th Anniversary badge on the fender and Shelby was never shy about "restarting" production of popular models.
  13. Saw one today in a blue/grey/black urban camouflage wrap-didn't help.
  14. Ford F150, Dodge Ram, I could go on but you get the drift. A late model Accord and Civic. Any Lexus. Porsche Cayenne and maybe a Macan. And, trying not to get political, any model Tesla. Except that mobile dumpster the Cybertruck.
  15. For all the front end damage, the cabin stayed remarkably intact and undamaged. It did its job. I'll bet you were sore in a few places afterwards but given the alternative outcome.... Steve (a driver of a remarkably large number of Crown Vics-for business purposes that is.)
