samdiego Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Lordairgtr, Can you tell me anything else about it? It looks like they used Thunderbird parts. What was under the bodywork? there is a Mach 1 logo on the vertical stabilizer. Was this the first use of that name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you stop it!!? Cal, Winding Road is an e-mag that I get gratis, I don't know why. One of the features this month is on the BMW. Where did you see it? I think the car debuted in April.

samdiego Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) It looks Mazdaesque, mid 70's. I'm just guessing. As for the Levacar, I would expect at least a hatch in the bottom to throw out an anchor! I can't help but wonder what ford was thinking. Where are the cars we were promised!? or toyotish, nice pavers Edited June 18, 2008 by samdiego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAL Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Mazda Cosmos/ RX-5/ 121 ....not sure about the landau top though. Yeah, that was the Mazda 121 Landau. I know seems strange. Cosmo AP AKA RX-5 was the rotary version and the 121, 121 Landau, and Cosmo 1800 was the piston version. I guess also known as an CD Cosmo, and there was a JC Cosmo and Eunos Cosmo was well as the HB Cosmo or Mazda Luce, apparently related to the 929.
