  1. Are you sure? After searching that line, I wasn't entirely convinced it wasn't some rare fiberglass thing. The headlight ring doesn't look quite right!
  2. what is worrying is that somebody considers it to be a collectible!
  3. And my first attempted search for this turns up.... last weeks car!
  4. I'll send you some eye drops.
  5. I think my failures to find the car some weeks makes it pretty clear I'm in it for the journey, not the destination. All the amazing cars I find while searching is half the fun.
  6. What threw me was it was about 8 years behind the times for styling. I came across Renaults but my specified date was too early. Those rear fenders had long since gone out of style over in USA.
  7. For digital dashes, I used to use the LCDs from old watches. You can see some of them in my car on page 2 of this thread.
  8. After hours of searching I have a pretty good idea of what it isn't.
  9. Russian. Should have guessed.
  10. I hate modern cookie-cutter cars.
  11. One correct answer? wow. I could see all sorts of GM style influences in it - a bit of Camaro, a bit of Firebird. Never expected it would have a Ford hiding under it.
  12. I don't know what it is, but It's clear where the designers got their inspiration!
  13. I'm sure I don't want to know what it is!
  14. Finally, a model car that was good enough to fool us. It would also explain why the rear spats are too big.
  15. you sure this wasn't meant to be auto ID?
  16. The tail lights gave me grief too, because the only cars I found them on were 1939 models, so I kept stating 1939.
  17. Those two words were exactly what I said when I saw it!
  18. Hmm.... that Combi makes one think one's zomby car should have engine access from inside the vehicle. It would certainly lead to differently styled machines.
  19. It's easy enough to find them with a google search. A majority of them have survived, as far as I know. Approx 100 of the coupe were built. http://www.bolwellcarclub.com.au/models_mk8.html
  20. Ten correct answers. Not bad! I've been lucky enough to see one of these in the wild. I also knew Winston Bolwell when I was a child.
  21. And people actually spent money on these? Perhaps not. I've never seen one before, thank goodness.
  22. Wow. A modern version of the "Anycar".
  23. Are you planning on making Soylent Zombie?
  24. Well that sucks. I specifically searched for Kia and still didn't find it.
  25. I took a look at the lines, thought it's either a Jag or Daimler. Looked at the hubcap. Yup, Daimler. A mate and I went touring in a Daimler Regency back in '86. He bought a Majestic Major after that.
