Solved - NEH 1588: Australilan-built Ford Falcon with metal folding roof
« on: February 21, 2012, 07:09:49 AM »
No points for identifying the base car, but 1 point for saying what's different from the standard model about it and where it was built:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!
