I took these photos somewhere on Vancouver Island in 2006 while out on a motorcycle ride.

That's very unusual, & he did a fine job matching the wood on the side.

Astounding craftsmanship, blending a good-looking body with other automotive elements.

Reminds me a bit of the tulipwood-bodied cars (external link) made by Hispano-Suiza (external link) back in the 1920's.

BTW, Hispano-Suiza (external link) is still in business today.

EDIT TO ADD: They made a showing at the Geneva Auto Show, 2010:
"The brand may be seeing a revival, however, with the showing of a model at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show priced at €700,000 with an Audi R8 V10 engine tuned to 750 horsepower."
From Wikipedia (external link).

Neither. You'd use Johnson's Wax.

On the contrary; how to make a Prowler chock-full of quality workmanship.

I'm guessing by the wheels, tires, and exhaust that it is only meant to look similar to a Prowler and it does not actually contain Prowler parts underneith.


I shoot Nikon. What?
