Replying to: andre1969 (May 29, 2008 9:51 am) I'm sure they'll make money on 3rd party things, especially on the video game sales and licensing.   My kid hasn't even seen the movie and he's collecting the toy cars in McD's happy meals.

Replying to: andre1969 (May 29, 2008 9:51 am) Did the Mach 5 and the Shooting Star at least look like they do in the anime cartoon from the 1960s? I remember an abominable Hanna-Barbera Speed Racer from the early '90s where they changed the look of Speed, his car, and even Spritle and Chim-Chim.

Replying to: lemko (May 29, 2008 10:11 am) From what little I've seen of trailers and such, the Mach 5 and Shooting Star look like reasonable facsimiles of the 1960's originals. The other racecars look like they actually have character, too, like they could have been inspired by the old cartoon. I've even heard that the Mammoth Car makes a brief appearance. Heck, if they used a Smart Car in the movie, they could have remade this scene!

Replying to: andys120 (May 29, 2008 10:40 am) So basically I got the model wrong and the year - first one I answer for a week - I must admit I'm a bit shaky on German Fords, as I have hardly seen any of them from that era....

Replying to: andys120 (May 30, 2008 5:49 am) The wagon is a '61-62 Dodge Lancer...knockoff of the first-gen Valiant. Dunno what year the Bug is, but I'd guess sometime in the late 60's?
#16888 of 23918 VW Bug by steelydan May 30, 2008 (6:42 am)
andre, due to the bumpers, I think that Bug could be anywhere from 1968-1972, I know the 1967-earlier Bugs had the old chrome bumpers . I had a 1972 Super Beetle which had the McPhierson struts in the front , forced air ventilation (wow), and a rockin' 60HP 1600cc engine. Bought that sucker used in 1975 for $1250 , drove it until 1980, and sold it for $1300.......best car investment I ever made.

Replying to: andys120 (May 30, 2008 5:49 am) Nice pic.   You've just revealed Nissan's inspiration for the C-pillar on the Armada and Pathfinder.
