J.C. Whitney was big on offering parts like that in the 1970's.

Today my wife has seen in Düsseldorf an orignal N.Y.P.D.-car, complete with all signs and lamps.

How can you be sure it was original? it was likely to be from a car company that rents cars for films no? there's one in Spain that has several Caprices and Crown Victorias in either taxi or police packeages, but im not sure if they are real or not :think:

If it was a fake, it was a very good one. My wife has looked for the details and everything was identical like at the police-cars, she had seen in New York by herself.

There are some imported original US-police-cars over here. A few weeks ago I've seen annother one in Dortmund. But I don't remember, if it also had a Düsseldorf-plate or if it was a N.Y.P.D.-car or from annother US-town.

IRT: was it a real Paykan? As I've learned here at IMCDB, this was the car with the most different names in its history.

@Max: I've expected your question. :smile: Sorry, my wife hadn't looked on the brand, just on the N.Y.P.D.-equipment.

I'm pretty sure that's a real Paykan - the horse and chariot emblem on the bootlid can be seen on this photo of a Paykan in Iran. I imagine that the one spotted by IRT_BMT_IND belongs to an Iranian immigrant who imported it to Canada as a classic car.

If you write down Fiat Niki on google some 126 appears so it might be a name or a nickname the car got in some countries? in Australia perhaps?

Niki? Unknown for me. The 126 was also sold under the name "bambino" I think, it was for the last of Italian production.

P.S. I just have googled, too: CCF seems to be right. "Niki" was the export-name for Australia. Interesting, that the 126 was available there, too.
I guess it should have been the Italian inspiration for the new version of the Aussie's "Road Train" :grin:

In 1990, when I had finished school, in the last night, we've put an self-painted Polski Fiat 126 (without engine and gearbox bought for 50 D-marks) in front of our school-door and have filled it up with bricks and stones, so that the door was blocked. :smile:


A propos Fiat 126: with some friends I had a discussion a time ago. One guy had said -he can swear it by his own experience- that it's possible to have sex (with a girl, not alone) on the back seat of a 126.

A question, which I had asked myself before, in such a situation: "What's more important, the girl or your own spinal discs?"

@walter: just 5 minutes ago my Swedish friend has send me a pic. Today he had seen a very early Audi Super 90 in the town of Vesteras.

On the way back home I stucked a bit in traffic for the first part. The reason was a broken down car in the narrowest part of a roadwork. It was *ahem* a 1995 Audi 80 Avant. :ohwell:

The next car with a break down, I saw, was a Renault Clio, the next followed a few hunderd meters later, an extra long Lincoln Town Car Stretch-Limo.

Shortly later I've passed a Dutch Citroen Berlingo with a trailer, loaded with a brand new of these ugly 45 km/h-micro-cars. I couldn't read the badge,it wasn't a Ligier or a Riva. Something with S.., I think. :confused:

Then -I was just passed by a absolute brand new Volvo V 70 with a British plate, I saw annother Dutch trailer, loaded with annother plastic-car. But a bit different one: an Alpine A110.

Today in our village: a South-African-made RHD Chevrolet "Bakkie", a small pick-up based on the Opel Kadett C-/Vauxhall Chevette-chassis.

The local newspaper of the village i pass the summer at now comes with postcards of old photographs of the city, which are quite nice and in some of them you can see cars of whenever the photo was taken, my brother happened to scan this one of a truck that apparently reversed and ended up with it's rear end down in the water, though that in that moment there was low tide so it hit the ground, or actually the ramp that allows people to get to their boats i am not sure, the thing is, does any of you know what brand and model this truck is? thanks guys, here's the picture:

Mind you this is not the first (well actually i don't know if it was the first one or not :grin: )nor the last vehicle to end up down in the water or on the ramp, i also remember seing the picture of a Mercedes-Benz upside down.

When I went to the supermarket on Sunday, I stumbled upon my car's twin sister in the parking lot, the LTD Crown Victoria. Naturally this was a perfect opprotunity for a photo shoot :smile:

The LTD by the way, was a 1990 model, due to the fact that it had the 1990-91 dashboard and the 1988-90 turn signal lenses.
