Zoom Out Puzzle #7 - 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88
« on: February 05, 2013, 05:25:00 AM »
Another go at a zoom-in puzzle.  Let's see if the pros can get one this time.  ;)

This vehicle had a distinctive appearance, and would be hard to ignore at any old car show.

This puzzle will begin the Pro's section with a zoomed-in section of  a photo of the car. After a week, a zoomed out picture will be added, and the puzzle will move to the Expert's section.  If it lasts one more week with no solution, the puzzle will move to the Rookie's Section, with a further zoomed-out photo.

Enjoy!

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Yes outstanding!
I think I found two who have more than 1000, Paul Jaray and one I've forgotten (or just plain got wrong)!
