The pics I've seen of the Ultra Hots '50s Chevy truck is that of a custom crew cab '50 style.
-
I keep hoping Revell or AMT would come out with a 1:25th scale styrene Solstice glue kit, so I'll probably get the Maisto 1:24th and do some detail painting.. By the way, does anyone know of a 1:24th or 1:25th diecast CTS? I know Ricko does one in 1:18th, but I'd rather have one in 1:24th..
-
It would be interesting to see a sales breakdown by market...Buick is sold only in 3 countries, right ? (US, Canada, China). Is the China volume higher than the US?
-
I've read for years in various articles that the current Astra is on Delta..the 5dr appears to have the same door shapes as the Cobalt 4dr also. Anyway, it's a small FWD GM product...whether they are the same or not, the basic ingredients are pretty similar.. (transverse OHC 4cyl, FWD, yada yada yada)
-
What is interesting about Dodge and the cross-hair grill is that it is historically a Chrysler grill--specifically, the '57-66 300. It didn't become a Dodge item until the '80s, I think..
-
Road Signature is a Yat Ming brand, by the way, so I assume a Yat Ming and Road Signature one would be the same... I know Maisto makes a 1:24th Solstice, haven't seen the 1:18th yet.
-
My choice would be the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, R33, R34...it's a shame it was never officially imported to the US. As far as current cars, there are several models from the Alfa range I'd love to see here--the sedans, the Brera coupe and new Spyder, the GT coupe.. the Opel Astra and Vectra, the TVRs...maybe some Peugeots...
-
Invicta is a great name...Electra would be even better, IMHO... both names with Buick heritage. Statesman is so dull...about as boring as Ambassador (an old AMC) or Diplomat (an old Dodge)..
-
I think I've probably seen Bullitt, Vanishing Point, Duel and Ronin at least 10 times each... I've seen Heat, To Live and Die in LA, Collateral, and LA Confidential probably 5 times each.. The original Star Wars trilogy I've seen probably 5 times, and many of the James Bond movies that many times.
-
I saw a very clean early '80s Coupe de Ville in traffic today..kind of a gray blue, with no vinyl top. Had base full wheelcovers..around an '80 or '81 I think.
-
The Chrysler Aspen is a huge improvement over the hideous Durango, IMHO. It's a name quite fitting for an SUV and most buyers won't remember the '70s crapmobile.
-
Yeah, the PA and the last Riviera are the best looking late-model Buicks, IMHO...they definitely looked related, in the curves of the front and rear quarters and other details. Great looking cars..
-
I like Better...sounds good...looking forward to the new album.
-
Hmmm...maybe the best NASCAR movie since Days of Thunder! I wonder if Cole Trickle is still on the circuit..
-
BMW, Jeep, and Ford for me.
-
I'll have to look for these.. I was an GNR fan in high school when they were new and fresh... not sure if I'd like a GNR without Slash and Duff..
-
The headlights down low like that below the spear looks odd..the front end is very blocky with strange angles..reminds me of a Transformer toy for some reason.
-
Agreed... hmmm..now how about a CTS-v with a padded top, 20 inch wire wheels and Vogues? Or an '80s Buick Grand National lowrider with padded top (saw one once, not a regular Regal but a GN that had been modified...horrific!!!)
-
The photos in the Feb issue of Car don't look like that..they show a car much closer to the new S-class style but with wider taillights. The headlight treatment is similar to the first photo, though...kind of like the Lexus GS.
-
It's Acura's Pursuit.
-
Odd...I wouldn't think of covering the lugs..seems too old timey like full wheelcovers or hubcaps. These wheels in particular would look better if they weren't so flat.
-
I love the Macs running OS X. Two words: UNIX INSIDE.
-
Back in early '03 I saw 2 completely undisguised Holden Commodores and a Monaro, all with Chevy Lumina badging and LHD and Michigan mfgr plates driving through a Borders parking lot. Wish I had had a camera handy..they must have been in Colorado doing high-altitutude testing for the then-upcoming GTO.
-
I used Netgear hardware for 10+ years (modem, routers, hubs, etc) with no problems... used them at home and in the startups I worked at.. their products always had a certain 'geek' appeal, out of the mainstream. A few months ago, though, I bought a Cisco Linksys cable modem w/ integrated router when my RCA cable modem died... no problems...
-
Hmmm..since it is not sold in the US, how did you come up with that number?
