Mitsubishi Eclipse/ Eclipse Spyder/ Eagle Talon/ Plymouth Laser
There is a mixture of Origin, Built In, and Made For listed for these models. They were all manufactured in the Diamond Star Motors plant in the USA. I'm thinking that the default setting for these should be "Origin - USA" rather than Japan. If not then they should all be listed as "Built In - USA". Thoughts?

Indeed it seems to be a rather North-American model (not even sold in Japan), so I would agree with the US origin for these.

Are you able to make that change as a whole group? There are over 200 Eclispes alone, and it would be easier than to do individually.

Another question for this model, The different models have been identified on other websites as "1G", "2G", etc. for each generation. If you type that into the "Mark" field, it listed "Series #", so some of these designations have been entered into the "Chasis" field, which really isn't correct either. Which field should we place this information? Is it possible to default the "Mark" field to match "#G"?

Sure. I suppose that it would that apply to all the Mitsubishi Eclipse, and not only some years/versions?

The 1G~4G seems to be the code used on Wikipedia and not only the number of generation, so it can go in the chassis field as currently.

I'm still not sure what kind of car this is, but it rates two stars, IMO.

Yes, all generations were built in the USA, in Illinois at the Diamond Star plant.

A 1967 Chevrolet station wagon, possibly an Impala, but misidentified as a Kingswood:

The practice of adding separate names for station wagons wasn't revived by the Chevrolet Motors Division until 1969.

A few Chevrolet C & K Series pickups were given the wrong years. This one, made in either 1971 or 1972 was incorrectly listed as a '68:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_121097-Chevrolet-C-10-1968.html

So was this one made in either 1969 or 1970:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_571814-Chevrolet-C-Series-1968.html

I saw a few others, so I'll have to keep tracking them down.

In this case, the brackets should be removed from the model name:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_106073-Chevrolet-C-Series-1971.html
And it should be narrowed down to a C-20.


Speaking of narrowing models down, this one:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_554532-Chevrolet-C-Series.html
... is a 1969-1970 C-30.

This can't be a C-10, because Chevy didn't use those designations in 1959:

It is not useful to post here at the same time you post on the site :wink:
Here it is rather for discussions about things that might have to be changed to a whole range of cars.
And there is another thread for info missed by admins.

Done for the first two.
I have some doubts about the Accord Wagon though: that one was sold in Europe too, no?

The Accord Wagons of those two generations were all built in the USA, even those sold in Europe and Japan. I've looked up the VINs for a couple of Accord Wagons of that vintage for sale on Finn.no, and they're all US-made. Later ones were built in Japan.

Built in USA yes, but it does not mean that the model was conceived by Honda US...

All of the Accord Wagons had this badge on them, though ...

Quote From: Wikipedia
In 1991 Honda unveiled the Accord Wagon, manufactured at the Marysville, Ohio plant. The Ohio plant exported right-hand drive wagons and coupes to Europe and Japan, and in Europe the station wagon (estate) was called the "Aerodeck" (in reference to the 1985–1989 2-door vehicle). All station wagons sold outside the United States were afixed with a small badge on the "C" pillar denoting the vehicle was built at the Ohio facility.


I think all of this justifies origin USA. Japanese Wikipedia also lists the first two Accord Wagon generations as origin USA (I can't seem to be able to link the page though).

EDIT: sorry, I'm half wrong. The first generation was developed in Japan, but first produced in the USA. The second generation, however, was of US design.

So in the end, it goes like this:

1991-93: origin Japan, built in USA
1994-97: origin USA

Here's something a little different;
The car is fine, but the episode number is formatted incorrectly:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_288937-Checker-Taxicab-A11-1962.html
It should be episode #1.04, not episode #1.4.
