This car has 3 different names that I'm aware of, so I want them all plus the car's base and build-date for the point!:

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS OBTAINED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE MAY BE BANNED FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD, AND THIS PUZZLE IS ONLY OPEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR AGREEMENT TO THAT IN THE THREAD IN THE NEWS AND INFORMATION SECTION.

I would have sworn that this was a repost. But I can't find it on Autopuzzles…So, good luck, rookies.

I think it's been posted in of those Unknown Oddities or somewhere, because no-one could ever put a name to it.
Well, now I can, so I think this is the first time it's been posted as an actual puzzle!

So, here is a puzzle whose answer can be found in the Pro and Feature Writers Section, reposted here in the Rookie Section.
Remember: rookies are not allowed to visit the PAFW section to get the answer, and the PAFW are not allowed to post here.

CLEVER !

Quite so!
Although it's pictured in the PAFW section (because it was put there by me!) and it attracted posts, I don't think a name was ever mentioned for it there, unless that was in a different thread which I haven't found yet..

Don't forget - I'll need the 3 names that I know of it's known by; there might be other names too that I don't know of!

That's 2 out of the 3 names I'm looking for (Glass Wonder Special and Red Flame Special) so I'll lock it for you to find the third.

Ah!  It's in the "Unknown Oddities" thread and doesn't have one of it's own I missed it.

It's interesting to see that this has been solved by someone who is neither a Pro or a Feature Writer so he would not have been permitted to post an answer on the original thread
