I always works for me (when I remember to use it, that is).  ;)

Be careful with the search parameters. I search the solved puzzles category only (or else the search takes a very long time). Also, I don't select "Show results as messages" or "Topic subjects only".

Wayne's on the right track . . . this is the 1972 "Exemplar 2", built for a metals trade group called the Copper Association by Mario Revelli on an Oldsmobile Toronado base.

That's about the long and the short of it, yes, athough it was actually a Copper Development Association project.
I turns out to be a repost so is being merged.

The guy who is selling that brochure on eBay says it's from '72. The site from which he bought the brochure says it was printed in '68.

It looks a lot more like a '68 Toronado derivative than a '72.

Never seen that one before.

From the front it has no real generic look about it , much like some of the cars built for commercials/adverts that show no connection to any established automobile manufacturer.

Not a masterpiece of design, but I guess it served its purpose.

Probably worth more melted down for its weight in copper  :lmao:

Yes, and that idea to create a bit more headroom (or was it to accommodate people wearing hats?!) seems to have been a bit of a blind alley from a design point of view..
