Looks may betray

For one point, please respond and just identify the base car.

No clue.

Obviously it is made to look like a Mercedes Benz, but other than that.... *shrugs*

Once this one is solved, hope to see some interior pics, too.

You are right about the Mercedes looks being mimikry, but I have to disappoint you about the interior shots. I just have another view of the back.

Well, crud ... I was hoping for some interior shots, too. Ah, well.

Am I correct in thinking that the windshield isn't MB?

The windshield like most of the rest isn't MB.

Ford Taunus ?

Wendax · « **Reply #7 on:** January 29, 2012, 03:04:32 PM »

No, bigger

The door handles are GM, how about sixties General Motors?

Wendax · « **Reply #9 on:** January 30, 2012, 02:55:17 AM »

You are right. Have a guess about the donor car.

hugo90 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:41:47 PM »

Okay, I'm going to guess, a '67 or '68 Camaro?

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2012, 02:29:45 AM »

Not a Chevy, and I don't know the exact model year, make and model is sufficient.

The writing on the bus in the background is, I think, in German. So is the base car a big Opel - say an Admiral?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2012, 02:15:51 AM »

The picture was taken in Hamburg, Germany, but the base car is American.

mymokke · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2012, 11:23:38 PM »

Could the base car be a 1963 Buick Skylark Convertible? The windshield and vent wing windows appear to be a match.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2012, 02:11:19 AM »

Getting closer, but not Buick.

72Must · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2012, 06:32:16 PM »

Oldsmobile Cutlass ?

mymokke · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2012, 08:05:54 PM »

Pontiac Tempest?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2012, 02:51:36 AM »

Pontiac it is, but not a Tempest

72Must · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:38:15 AM »

Pontiac Catalina ?

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:48:38 AM »

Closer to the Tempest than the Catalina

72Must · « **Reply #21 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:06:05 AM »

Grand Prix ?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:32:33 AM »

No, so there is only one model line left between Tempest and Grand Prix

I have two models between

,2+2 & Bonneville though latter has longer wheelbase than the others..

I have another one in mind, but I must admit it started life as a version of the Tempest.
