LC Torana Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Lots of people lament that the 63bd1bcf442faa7cee9800f284351652 didn't go into production. C'mon guys, a word of text here and there will help. UltraWomble, Banger Kenny and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I was going to suggest that Volvo should have made a 165, but if you do a Google image search their must be more homemade estates than 164 s left!

Timewaster Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 An ex of long ago did the opposite of that to an applejack metro simply using a t junction, a fast moving articulated lorry, a complete lack of attention and 3 weeks in hospital. Not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thing is though, if you really, really wanted to, you could get/find a bodykit similar to that and have the interior restitched to make it look like the 4x4 Buffalo Xantia concept by Heuliez above.

DVee8 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 From Fiat Pininfarina was not the only designer who liked the little Fiat 600. The design house Carrozzeria Ghia SpA had already in 1958 converted a number of standard Fiat 600 into a soft-top version spike60, Uncle Jimmy, vulgalour and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 However, it's a clone, and there are others.The genuine Riviera prototype made by Pininfarina was shown for the last time at the Barcelona Salon in May 1972and disappeared afterwards never to be seen again.

Junkman Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Turin not Detroit. The Italians don't seem to like estates or hatchbacks much though. Opel tried something similar with the A - Commodore and called the prototype "Voyage" (an A - Ascona Voyage did exist, however). It remained a prototype though (this is a clone). There were no factory Opel Commodore estates available until the C - Commodore,of which a mere 2,440 found buyers.
