The amber lens positioned to the outside was part of a European standard or regulation at the time. That’s why you see them sometimes switched on versions sent to the U.S. When the third generation Camaros were exported to Europe, the export lamps switched the amber to the outside. I once bought a set of export…
Did they ever come out with the CRVX?
I cried when four door sedans killed personal luxury coupes. Long live opera windows, padded vinyl roofs and button tufted crushed velour... 😂😂😂
Cadillac has had since 1980 to do that...
It is ridiculous that Cadillac is using that old script that still looks the same as the 1960s era it originated from. Even older versions of the vehicles kept a script or nameplate style that was contemporary for the day. The last I recall, the Catera got block letters across the center taillamp panel and the Escalade…
Super Sport or SS was first applied to the 1961 Impala as an optional sport appearance package which included chassis and suspension upgrades. It was a $53.80 package of which 453 had the SS package. 311 received the 348 cid V8 and 142 received the 409 cid V8.
I have kept saying this over and over for many years that each decade of automobiles has a common look or form that make them look similar to each other across many brands. Just study each decade of vehicles and you will see what I mean. It's mostly in proportions, rooflines and general shapes.
I was in first grade and 5 years old when I first heard it and I was drunk on Orange Crush and chocolate milk...
Taking the badge off may not be enough when you are recreating a likeness of a trademarked product. Art, toys, models, etc that replicate vehicle images are usually copyrighted and require a license from the trademark owner to reproduce. That’s why you see “Officially Licensed By Ford, HM, etc.” stickers on products…
“Chevy" is trademarked by GM and it had many formal uses in the past as Chevy II and Chevy Van for examples.
I was going to suggest the possibility they were trying to avoid trademark infringement by mixing the Ford grille onto the Chevy truck. But then I thought about the fact too that they are using song lyrics which have a copyright but also the name “Chevy” is a trademark copyright of GM. So who’s paying who for…
Engines were all different. However the chassis, inner bodies, understructure, standardized operating componants, glass and rooflines were shared between each division. Sheet metal and body parts below the beltline were stylized unique for each division and in many cases door skins were shared between all or pairs of…
So Renault literally wants AMC again... 😂😂😂
They probably make a matching dildo for it too!
And if yer not warin’ a braw ya cain’t put it thare eether....
If it is an entire auto manufacturer (not brand) is going out of business then I would worry about buying a discontinued model. However, if a discontinued brand or discontinued model is within a parent manufacturer then they usually supply replacement parts and provide service just like many discontinued or redesigned…
Before the term SUV became popular in the 1980s after the popularity of the smaller Jeep Cherokee took off, all truck based Broncos and Suburbans were commonly referred to as trucks. In those days in general you referred to everything as either a car, truck or van. Even today people will generally pick one of the…
I always like the 1978 Ford LTD II that I had in 1984. It was the intermediate version based on the Torino platform that replaced that nameplate. The LTD II was still huge and was nearly identical in most ways to the same year Thunderbirds and Cougars. I loved the long powerdome hood with bladed fenders. The car had…
The 1981–1983 Imperial was just an Imperial, not a Chrysler Imperial.
Individually painted bunnies are not practical for production. Decals or wrap are a good enough solution and can be easily replaced after a mishap.
