Guest Geoff Meador Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 ... then the attached photo will probably send you into convulsions <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />Sorry for the poor quality scan, it was in a used car catalog from ~1995 I found in the garage.

ALF1 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Hey, what's the scoop, man? <span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF</span> and his friend Jerry(got it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Howie Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I like it! Cool wheels, too. What's the info on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I pulled my July 1989 Car & Driver, page 112 starts the article about "Crystal-Ball Buicks. The rear wheel drive Reatta had the bump but it was not open in the front (in 1989) it also has 5 spoke wheels. May or may-not be the same car.

2seater Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Oddly enough, I kinda like it. I'm not much into add ons and such but that looks almost functional in some way, so that would be acceptable. Barney's conjecture on the turbo hump makes sense, the rwd turbo would be in about that location, but you wouldn't want to cool it? Turbo Subaru WRX's have a scoop on the hood for the intercooler. Better to be stealthy if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No specific info on the Reatta in the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Does that mean C&C has done some work for the reattas and has a hood mold somewhere so they can sell it or reproduce the hoods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Meador Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'm not sure. I got the impression that they were just showing a bunch of "cool" cars to get the reader's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Well to get the hood there has to be a mold. And unless they scrapped it, its still lying around someone. Couldnt hurt to contact them. You have a number or any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF1 Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 If you like the wheels, they're one of the world's finest wheels. They're Italian Anteras (say Pantera without the "P"). I have only one brand new set, triple chromed, designed to fit Reattas, Allantes, full-sized Cads. They'r stickered at $2500/set and have the velvet covers and custom cap removal tool. I've never seen anything more pristine. They're available in their original boxes and covers. Brand new; will take $600 for the set, with $100 shipping via UPS.<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF</span> and his friend JerryLet me know if you want to see actual photos....

Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Sorry, not a big fan of 3 spokes and I already have a set of 17 inch rims on it. Thanks for the offer though, maybe someone else will be interested. They are a great set of rims, quality wise. I just dont like the look of 3 spokes.
