Slappy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Even better, the Cascada has some hidden rear facing lights that emerge should the boot be open, like the Insignia estate. I noticed it on the M27 whlist someone was changing stuck on the hard shoulder. Had a WTF was that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've seen a Cascada. Just the one.I actually saw one the other day. It was blue and didn't look too bad, much better than the grey one Vauxhall's marketing department insisted on posing against drab backdrops in the rain to make it look as attractive* as possible. There's no way I'd pay anywhere near 30 grand for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So when you buy a 23 year old Buick convertible in 2040 this is what you get?Compare it with the 23 year old Buick convertible I bought in 1983! I googled "1994 buick convertible" to see what you'd get if you did that now... catsinthewelder, Junkman and Supernaut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cros Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 South Korean, they did cars too, nothing as exotic as the plastic Uraguyan crew-cabbed Chevette though. Can't find a picture so probably imagined that, have a plastic fastback instead. ShiteRider, anonymous user, Sudsprint and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cros Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This is a replica of a Vauxhall prototype, an unholy union of Daimler/PA Cresta. I had my first ride in a Conquest Century the other day, a car with lots of quirks that must have cost a fortune to produce on a low-volume offering. It's no surprise that they investigated creating a successor by marrying Turner's fine V8 with a Luton body. Herman Munster would have approved. 11001010, KiwiAlistair, chaseracer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 And another Aussie offering, the Chrysler Royal. Aus only and a parts bin special with some redesigning and local manufacturing thrown in. Chrysler Aus were making the early fifities Chrysler/ plymouth/ Desoto and wanted to update. US hq was not interested so Aus went their own way.This was produced from 1957 to 1963 as saloon, estate and utility. It was succeeded by the Valiant which was a big success in Aus unlike the Royal which only just sold enough to save itself.They were popular with some police forces for highway patrol as they had a lovely V8 and could chase most others down. vulgalour, Lacquer Peel, Ghosty and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUNO Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 That Daimhall reminded me of Armstrong Siddeley's small car offering. That was slated as ugly when new, bit I think the Daimler offering gets it very wrong, especially from the C pillar back. And why did they change the wipers to something that Vauxhall found was deficient.Armstrong Syddeley vvvvv anonymous user and cros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There was a BASE version of the Mk1 Cortina that I only learned about a few minutes ago. Looks like the sort of thing to be made under license in India, like the Standard Gazelle. but was what you ordered if you were a REAL penny pincher back in 1962.
