But an ECC assembled by Lada. _________________ Back to top D.

It was gold. _________________ Back to top Matt Nuclear My Car: Astra Coupe 1.8 SE2 Joined: 18 Jan 2007 Posts: 12018 Location: Plymouth, UK Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 11:30 pm    Post subject: Hmm, something in my head makes it seem familiar. I'm sure there was some attempt in the 90s by the Checker Cab company to come up with a new New York cab. Is that it? _________________ Small car, big heart.

If I'm right, it has piggy little Alfa GTV headlights flanking a Volvo S80-esque grille. And plastic bodywork. _________________ Back to top Big TC Supercharged My Car: Seat Toledo 20V SE, Citroen C1 Diesel Joined: 28 Dec 2006 Posts: 5759 Location: Stuck in my ways Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2008 5:04 am    Post subject: The glass house and huge front overhang reminds me of the Citroen C5 MkI. _________________ It's a '57 Pontiac Star Chief, dontchaknow.

This one is even the same colour. I can attest that it's truly horrid in the plastic. _________________ Back to top D.
