I saw a pic of a green Lusso in a book once, never one in person tho.
Thanks...
Steel Reserve is a cheap nasty beer found in almost any store in the US. I've drank it once, out of courtesy, and it was awful. Foster's is better, but it's hardly a great Australian beer.
Nice price, if only for being two cars and being weird cars at that.
Agreed on all that, and aside from splitting Ram off of Dodge, Fiat seems to be doing a lot of good.
New Barracuda? I'm guessing that's going to be a North American version of a productionized Lancia Fulvia concept and badged as a Chrysler, but please tell me more...
Quite possibly, since Foster's beer is to Australia as Steel Reserve is to the US, and this guy seems like he might enjoy trash beer like Foster's or Steel Reserve.
According to Sergio Marchionne, you can get one next year.
It sounds like they forgot to renew the domain registration on BaT's address (hence Throttle Yard remaining up), and they are back up & running now... #oppositelock
Their Facebook fanpage said that another reader found out that BaT's domain name registration expired. I have the same issue, I contacted Randy Nonnenberg about matters and will report back when I hear more. I'm sure that BaT will be back soon, once they get the domain name reregistered and reconstruct the site... #oppositelock
They basically adapted a Lancia Flaminia sedan body design to fit underpinnings copied from a Hillman Minx and an Isuzu industrial engine. It's not a bad design at all.
That importer also carried RHD Bellets, and most of the 1960s Isuzu sales were in NorCal and the Pacific Northwest for some reason. There was a LHD, light blue and white Bellel with broken glass, four flat tires, rust and body damage in a driveway near the Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon for many years, but it was gone in late 2008.
Any amount of air fresheners. The smell of mildew in my cars (almost all rebuilt junkyard, tow yard or charity auction finds) is OK with me...
Reminds me of some of the car liquidation sales in the Malaise Era in a way- anyone remember when there was a liquidation sale on Lancia Beta Zagatos? Or on DeLoreans? Bricklin SV1s? Maybe before malaise. the fire-sale prices on Subaru 360s and Sambars after the FF1 Star came around (I remember people getting a free 360 sedan with a new Buick in 1973 or so), or afterward, the too-good-to-be true prices on overstock Yugos after Zastava stopped importing them. In all cases, no warranty and dicey parts situations IIRC.
This should have happened a very long time ago. They lost their heart and soul when the 9000 got a GM engine and the NG 900 was created.
Think I'm going to be driving a Saab for the remainder of 2011...
So true...
Alfa Romeo could possibly be between BMW and Mini, and Lancia between BMW and Rolls-Royce... there would be too much competition within the VAG tho.
The 156's roofline is too high to look like a real four-door coupe IMHO...

The Sprinter is being replaced by an IVECO van (but will still be available as a Mercedes or a Freightliner), and the Dodge Caravan CV gets belatedly replaced by another Fiat as a Transit Connect rival. The Chevy G-series has technically been gone since 1995, and the Express will probably get replaced with an Opel or a Holden, with another overseas GM van as a belated Astro replacement and Transit Connect rival. And assuming that Volkswagen gets back into the mass-market successfully, the Caddy and Crafter will probably get assembled here...
Nice price, if only due to my longstanding love of torturing myself with hell projects...
I love Checkers (and am thinking about buying one as one of my final oddball car purchases), but I never knew of one of these. Were any actually made besides the one in the pics? This is the ultimate paddy wagon.
A Land Rover 109" wagon or a Toyota Land Cruiser troopie.
