I'll stick with the Oldsmobile Toronado. Now that is one incredibly cool-looking American car. Let's see if you can provide the right answer to this one question: what do the Toronado car and the 4001 bass have in common? Don't disappoint me, guys.

I had a metal Toronado Police car model with a mechanical friction motor when I was a kid. It was about a foot long.
Long gone, of course, with the purple Beetle & all those great yellow Tonka trucks, graders, loaders, etc.

I like the BMW!

Answer: great chrome & a very mean growl!

I have always thought of the 507 as their finest design.

Ray: your answer is correct, of course, but it is not the one I expected haha! Please try again.

Kevin: ditto.

Well, you can look for clues to the right answer in my profile. I can't make it any easier for you hehe.

Cheers.

The BMW is indeed very nice. And the Jensen FF...I used to have a really nice toy one of those as a kid (Dinky? Corgi? I forget..)

I wish I still had all my old toy cars. I could've sold them and probably bought another Ric!

What is that?? It appears to be a heavily modded '60s Fiat.

No, it's a heavily modified "humpbacked Zaporozhets" (the 1st two photos show the "original", unmodified version)

They are both perennially ultra-fashionable? Sergio Silva loves them?

Hmmm...

Bingo, Lyle!
Sheena, I can't seem to be able to access the above link.

Here you go (hmmm, strange - the link works fine for me):

Thanks, Sheena. Now I can access the link. Hey, those cars still look like Fiats to me hehe.
