My last #184 was a repost so I've replaced it with this (very) different one.
Name, model and year for a point please

My guess is a Zimmer Golden Spirit, maybe 1987 or so.

Sorry Oguerrerob but the model and year are incorrect.
Perhaps if you return to your database soon you can try again but I'll have to unlock it for now.
You only have ten points to gain before you become a Professional so good luck with that.

I think you have the correct model (I have a slightly different name)
Provide me with a year and the point is yours.

Yes, studhamsmudger is pretty close. Not exactly, though. I'll be interested to see what year you have listed, as that's an interesting story too.

Studhamsmudger, I think I'll have to ask you also for the exact model name as well as the year for the point.
I'm not an expert on this type of car and with fyreline's comment it may be that "El Grande" is not the same as the model I have. Anyway it's still locked for you until your next reply.

After doing further research on this, I have come to the conclusion that the information I have is inaccurate - from a dealer who I don't think knew much about the car.
I'm going to give a point to Studhamsmudger as he guessed "Sunrise El Grande" that is probably more correct the the "Sunrise Grandee" that I had.
I also had the year as 1988 but I think it must be 1990 or thereabouts.

Anyway I'll move it to solved but would welcome any further comments on the accuracy of this puzzle.

My last #184 was a repost so I've replaced it with this (very) different one.

Hmmm....do you, by chance, know where this pic was taken?

I spot a 1986-88 Monte Carlo LS in the background of that pic....

Unfortunately I don't know where the photo was taken.
It came from a magazine in the 1980s when the car was new but no information on where it was.
