I prefere the Lincoln

I agree with strongly with CCF ...
I’m not saying that the Dodge Charger is ugly (I quite like the Charger) or ugly as a stretched limousine, but what they (whoever
they are) did to it is ugly. i.e. oversized pimp chrome wheels, custom grille and bumper grille, chrome mirror caps, chrome door handle add-ons and chrome door pillar trim (too much aftermarket chrome junk!)

I saw a 1951-1953 Plymouth Cranbrook! Sorry this is my camera phone again, I need to carry my digital camera with me. It was in mint condition, I caught a glimpse of the driver and yep he was wearing a drivers cap and in his 70s.
A Bel Air. What year? '56 '57?
Some more cars I found in the game I'm playing. A Ferrari in front but I wonder what's behind it? You find out the Ferrari is rented and was scratched by the guy standing there. He's in trouble! I still haven't figured out how the scratched Ferrari plays into what I have to do.
Finally a very well done Citroën 2CV. She says something about how it looks like a duck when you click on it.

The car behind the Ferrari makes me think to the Citroën XM, but it is not so visible...
About the 2CV, it's Dutch & German nicknames are "the duck", so this may be linked to that...

Are you able to move all over the place in that game? if so i'd ask you to take pictures of every single car for IGCD, they all are so nicely done, and that's not always the case in videogames, as Antoine says indeed the car behind the Ferrari reminds me off an XM as well, and behind of it probably a Fiat 600, but that's just too far, and nice american classics by the way

The reason the cars look so good in this game it that when you walk into an area there is only one single view. For example you can't walk towards the Ferrari and see the Fiat 600 more clearly (also I am impressed you were able to identify that!). This is why the vehicles are so sharp because there's only one angle of them. I haven't beaten the game yet but the only car that's missing that I haven't shown yet (I think) is a black Hummer H2

that the bad guys drive in a cut scene in the very beginning. I'm happy that all the other vehicles in the game are not atrocious like the H2!

MMM interesting but i prefere the regular two door Toronado

The "57 Bel Air" is actually the ultra-rare 1957 Chevrolet 150 two-door post sedan. Basically the lowest of the low in Chevy's offering for that year. I've been told that the connecting piece of trim from the rear side windows to the beltine moulding is impossible to find because it was used in only one year on only that model! Consider yourself lucky to have seen this one.

Nice! The X1/9 by the colors and the wheelcovers is for sure a Bertone, not Fiat.
30/05/2009 @ 14:40:43: Gag Halfrunt: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Yes, it has a Bertone badge on the B-pillar. The original photo is 'only' 1600x1200 so you can't see it properly.

Thanks so much for the description! If only I could have taken a clear shot of it with a proper camera.
So I came here to tell everyone I saw an exact replica of General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard today! A '69 dodge charger it was so incredibly beautiful. It was sooooo surreal seeing it driving with other ordinary cars. I couldn't get a picture because it passed so fast. Strangely enough I was at a car museum last year in Volo, IL where I saw General Lee and it said SOLD on the hood. I don't think its the same one because this was missing the confederate flag on the top but DID have the huge O1 numbers on the side. Here is the one I saw in the museum last year that I might have already shared but here it is again.

Today I saw a convoi of three old Rover "Aunties" on the Autobahn. Very unusual, because this car was never officially sold in Germany.
Anyways, it's the Whitsun-weekend, where traditionally dozens of classic-car-meetings were hold. So surely they were on the way to the club-meeting.
They aren't alone with that. DynaMike went to the European Citroen-meeting and I will go tomorrow to our yearly K 70-meeting.

Those LTD II's are some of the most hideous cars ever built. If only it weren't for those headlights.

How does the odometre of a "canadian car" look like in Canada? because you use Kilomtres instead of Miles don't you? so cars just have the same as in cars for the US or they bother changing the clock to kilometres?
