@stratum looks too good to get abandoned, the model is in advance state, any chance of completing it?

 

@erwin the old falcon reminds me of first generation GAZ-24.

Model is too old, 2011 or 2012 year. it should be redone and I have some sh*t to do these days.

I have a lot of models in condision like this, some survived, some not. Only one of the five see the finish line.)

You are so right, My GM fishbowl bus started back in 2004, never finished it. In 2008, I decided revive it, but I ended up re-doing 60% of it. Then I decided to convert it to IV hoping I can easily correct the some of the proportion issues, ended up redoing 90% of it.

 

Automotive design is like a virus, if someone come up with a good design, almost everyone tried to make their own version of it.

 

ZAZ-968A reminds me of... 1969 BMW 2002

I tried to make classic Falcon, but I planned to do US 1962 wagon.

But as 80% of my scratches, it was abandoned(

 

 

 

Would be great if someday you can finish this project, it looks great, also think about the possibilities, this model can be used as a base for other versions of Falcon, sedan, coupe, convertible, Deluxe, Futura, Ranchero, Sprint, etc .

engine bay..

 

[JoeVK]

Ah, the good old 3.0L GM V6 turd. Whatever time you spent modeling it is probably more than the engineers did designing it.

[universetwisters]

Man, I can't wait to get this in GTA. It's looking yummy.

Lol it takes less time to assemble a whole car in the factory than modelling an alternator

[JoeVK]

True, but designing an engine takes months to years with sophisticated tools and programs. The 3.0L seemed like it was designed in a couple weeks using nothing but a screwdriver, a sawzall and an abacus.

I mean it's GM, so I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case.

 

Also damn, turns out they made a coupe of the Century with a landau roof.

 

[DerangedCrackhead]

They made a performance version too with the T-Type package. Hell, they even made a T-Type version of the Riviera...

In the late '80s, Buick made a T-type model of just about every one of their vehicles. LeSabre, Electra, even the Skylark and Skyhawk. I know a guy who bought a T-Type LeSabre new in '87 and still has it today. Looks like new.

1986 FBI Miami shootout

 

Check out that yellow sedan with landau roof...

Honda kinda stole the name its called R-Type

 

Buick had special model called GSX, Honda (Acura) did again calling their car RSX, TSX TLX NSX

Ford Fairlane converison done... https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/1966-ford-fairlane-500-add-on

Carface, I think you've misplaced the name for the Buick Century with "1973 Olds Cutlass 88" in the OP.

[Carface80]

oops... thanks for pointing out..

Nice. Looks pretty much like it's done.

1986 FBI Miami shootout

I wish I could find better pictures of that specific one without it being all bloodied up or anything.

 

It's funny though how in the movie based on that, they replaced it with a Dodge Diplomat iirc. Still a good movie nonetheless, the dad from Family Ties and Hutch go out and rob banks

[Carface80]

oops I didn't noticed the bigger buick is white with black landau roof too, I was referring to the smaller buick to the right :S

 

The movie is surprisingly good, the shootout was pretty close from the FBI reenactment video. I can hardly recognize David Soul....far from pretty boy from Starsky and Hutch.

 

Grogan and Dove drove was a white Buick Century (right), both men died behind their car. The FBI video and the Movie, Grogan and Dove's character drove a Fox bodied Ford LTD/Marguis '

 

There are two Buick Electras (Caprice's cousins), the blue one is drove by Manauzzi and the white/cream one drove by McNeil, the font end somewhat resembles Dodge St Regis a bit.

 

Damn if I can recreate this on GTA5 rockstar editor..my Century can play Grogan and Dove car!

I cent tell from this photo if these cars are either a Le Sabre or Electras. Lesabre is more like Caprice/Impala and Electra is more luxurious like the DeVille.

The grey Buick from the FBI shooting scene is definitely a LeSabre; look at the shape of the rear wheel frame and the more narrow c pillar. I particularly like the Oldsmobile version of that generation Electra, especially the 2 door version, with the vertical tail lights and fender skirts. Either way, none of those beat the 77-79 designs.

Neither could I.

 

[Carface80]

Indeed, First thing came in my mind was Electra, but I forgot the LeSabre.

Looking from conversations here makes me think that post-2000s American cars were so difficult to differ. Especially from distance

[DerangedCrackhead]

I would say that it's been like that since the rebadge madness took over in the 1970's, at least for someone who's not too familiar with the models from the time.
