I'll just leave this here...
My grandfather's small-scale ethanol production facility met a similar fate back in the '40s.
When I heard talk of these "falcon" doors, I pictured something like the Ford Evos concept; having seen these photos, this Tesla has nothing on the Evos.
Several months ago someone new showed up in the parking deck where I park at work in an upscale full-sized SUV who was parking in compact car spaces and parking over the line, taking up two spaces. I tolerated it for a few days, since it wasn't directly impacting where I parked, but it annoyed me. When they kept it up, I did finally go to the site mentioned above, printed out a ticket, filled it out, and left it on their window as I left work. Believe it or not, the next time I saw the vehicle, they'd relocated to a standard sized space. So not only did I feel better when I left the note on their car, I actually got to see the results, which felt even better.
It's like the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida of soft-core.
Air cooled engine too.
Chrysler left-handed lug nuts.
Safety reasons, I think...small kids hanging out the window, automatically rolling up and choking them and such. Vividly remember some family members showing off their new '78ish Mercury Grand Marquis and the driver looking over to the driver's door to roll up the windows, and not noticing the toddler inside was hanging out the window on the passenger side and almost got his head cut off. If we hadn't been standing there yelling at the driver, it actually could have been pretty ugly.
The wheels? Round, and shod in rubber...exactly as predicted!
Speaking of the Saab Museum, I visited the GM Heritage Center back in 2008; they had a few Saabs on display, but not having followed this brand much (and being in the presence of the Buick Y-Job and such) I didn't pay close attention to the Saabs on display. Kind of wish I had now.
My dad did something very similar to this once with a tractor and a large oak tree, hence his nickname "Short Chain".
Actually you're exactly right at the 20x60 estimate, according to the Mogul Media Outdoor site for the "BQ Expressway & Manhattan Ave." location, which they Yahoo! map to 417 Meeker Ave. (thank you, almost 20 years of media buying experience!).
Your typical outdoor board (at least the part that actually has the ad on it) is 14' x 48'; this one doesn't look larger than average to me (certainly not the size of six tractor trailer rigs).
Could be time for a remix.
Odds are the dealership already had the space contracted, so they just had a new wrap installed (which might or might not have been coming due anyway). Still, depending on the material involved they might have paid $600-$1,000 or so (not counting the agency time to design the ad, and the install fee from the outdoor company if it wasn't a scheduled change, which combined could add another $1k to the pot). So $2k or so, compared to the goodwill and exposure they're getting, is a drop in the bucket.
However, since there doesn't appear to be any mention of the local dealer's name, address, etc. beyond the city, I'd say this was a corporate board paid by Audi and not something paid for by the dealer. If I were the dealer shelling out any money for this, I'd want my logo on there somewhere at least.
With all the fears about spontaneously combustion, I hope they're not literally making a "to hell and back" connection to the Volt.
Maybe they're going to call the redesigned Colorado the "LUV"?
OR there was that Bel Air convertible concept from a few years ago that had a lot of '57 cues, but I think it was based on a Trailblazer chassis, so maybe not. Bel Air deserves to return as a name, but probably not on something small.
Here's the facts:
1 = A concept that might be a GMC, but will probably be a Chevrolet (as in, it "fits" Chevy).
2 = A concept that will be retro-styled (as in something you haven't seen in awhile).
3 = Something compact-"ish" (as in not a lot of interior space).
4 = This is Jalopnik.
Could it be time for the return of...EL CAMINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does GM have in it's stable that could be caminoized in short order? There's the Holden Ute, but I wouldn't call it retro styled without a majorly different front cap at least.
I wouldn't buy the story that Hoffa's "body" is buried here, since it'd be too easy for somebody to identify body parts or remains...but I would believe his cremated remains could have been dumped into some concrete somewhere.
