While looking through some old boxes several weeks ago I ran across this old Kitcar magazine from November 1982. It was the introduction of the flared-fendered speedster California. I remember my father and I looking through it the day he bought this issue.
November 1982, Hard to believe that was 30 years ago!
Here is the original add that was found inside. We both liked the looks of this car especially from this angle.
Once we got to that actual article it fell apart a little for us. While it looks great from quarter angles like I said, the full-on profile look of the wheel arches (especially the rear) didn't do it for either of us. It may also have been those ugly cheap gold wheels they had on there which certainly did not help. Anyway, 30 years ago when this widebody speedster was introduced!
