I am pretty sure that model name is just Hyena. Lancia did not aproved this creation, but aproved the Lancia badges on it. Still, if somebody search for Hyena in model name (like I did 20 minutes ago), and he wouldnt see this, he can reupload it by mistake (personal experience).

I thought it was more famous for it's design being influenced by Ostracion cubicus, or the Yellow Boxfish, than it's low drag coefficient.

Well these two things are connected, because the fish have suprisingly a very low drag too :)

I don't know how you feel about it, but here in the Netherlands, this car has a bad reputation for electronic problems.

Hell yeah. What a bright idea to buy french car fitted with lot of new electronic stuff from 1st year of production.
In the way to southern Croatia (about 2 days of driving), electronic on sister door somewhat failed to hold the window up and we were driving all the way to Croatia with one window down (and I am not even talking about sleeping in Slovenia in some village on intersection with that issue).
Few days after we bought this car the instrument panel broke down completly, meaning that we were driving few months with panel deatached (yes, we were seeing all the wires and everything).
After we bought new tires and instead of oxygen, service filled it with nitrogene (tire stays filled for a longer period of time), the panel that show state of wheels is showing that tires are flat or we dont have wheel at all.

My father car.
It have one oddity - rear wiper comes in two sizes: 35 and 50 centimeters. My sister found it week ago, when she wanted to buy as a present for dad wiper and I must measure it.
And if you are as tall as me (185+ cm), dont buy it. You head will push upholstery constantly in back and in front it will be not much better.

In Czechoslovakia available only via Tuzex for a amount of money you cold buy a nice BMW 7 with some extras today.
You can see the 1988 catalog of cars available in Tuzex for yourself. Since Tuzex was a top market, it is both in czech and english language, so there shouldnt be a problem for anyone.

Agree about that, but i was talking about wagons in general. I mean Volvo 850 and 240 Polar that's real wagons along these classic american cars. But new Volvo V60 (www.webcarstory.com/voiture.php?id=15257) is... He can't compare with 850 in cargo space and we all know why are Wagons made.

Or the CLS Shooting Brake. i know, it is a shooting brake, but if I do such a thing, shouldnt it be at least more practical than normal? With that 5th door size and expensive wooden floor, I doubt it.

Well it is a panel van, but since you cant carry nothing in it (electric engine, loads of batteries and a massive diesel generator fill the back very good) and it have pink slips from TVR, it should be consireded as a normal car.

But if anyone is not cool with this car on this site, just tell me and i will delete it.

Took out the Cadillac name, as I don't want coachbuilt cars to appear on the manufacturer page of Cadillac. With all the limousine and convertible conversions done on old Cadillacs, it could become a mess.

Oh, I understood your worries with that :)

That's real Wagon not this new one.

Nowadays Cadillacs are not what they used to be, with sporty design, rock solid suspension and Nürburgring testing :(

Probably only one car from 22 cars survived, and it is in mint-condition driving on czech roads. His owner is assistant editor of US car magazine - there cant be a better owner for saving this precious car. in the magazine there are very good photos, but on internet there are only small ones :(
EDIT: And for Desscythe17, I doubt that this car was produced in 1967. In fall of 1967 Cadillac presented stock car and it take some time to do molds for wagon variant. I think this car was prodused in 1968 only.

If I understood wiki article about 2CV correctly, there were 47 cars produced as "prototypes" and there was also a pilot run that produced 250 cars "for sale". these cars were never sold, since intended premiere of this car was in october, but month before it, France declared war.

I think that this is one of few cars, that are left intact for nearly two decades. By the way, is there any way to find out what car is on WCS oldest and it is still in production?

Wrong picture is used, it is actually 1997-2002 Prius. 1995 prototype had different design and 2-tone color.

All things done.
If you are good in matching colors to their names, ou can try connect colors from this pic to names here. For some strange reason I cant put red here (maybe because it isnt on a car or badly sized in photoshop), but the rest is quite hard for me, with tons of adjectives that I dont know what they mean.

According to wikipedia, all trims had automatic versions, so it's important that you find information for them.

Well, I can copy motor, delete vmax and fuel consumption, and just change transmission, right?
Because I really didnt found anything (apart from fact that automatic transmission was for extra 1250$).

there isn't automatic version?

I just done the engines with manual transmission :D yes, there is, but I cant find info about it. Websites are more focusing on manual than automatic transmission (car is based on Subaru, so it is sporty, and who would buy slow 4AT to this kind of car), but I will try my best.

Guys, you can just leave it :) I was just curious about it, but no harm done if we just leave it as unknown/modified car. There is quite a riot on IGCD right now (mainly because GTA V Stratum and annoying Burn Rubber, who is extinguishing fire with gas on all pages), and surely no-one here wants to transfer it here :)

Tech spec might be little bit off, since I have a feeling that these are from a pickup eltra. Odd thing is, that in this photo, normal one is shown: elweb.info/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=600&tok=f64618&media=skoda:skoda2.jpg
Car wasnt available normally in CZ, only 9 were bought by Czech mail.

It's not a Renault, maybe something locally produced in Czech Republic? Or probably just something built for that commercial.

Oh, that is not CZ only commercial. I found it in french, italian, german and some other languages too, but after I posted the comment :) So it could be something actually made.
And here is a front shot, found in some versions: youtu.be/SS8bQcyATso?t=21s

No. It's the quote from The Italian Job about this www.imcdb.org/vehicle_18145-Daimler-Limousine-DR450-1966.html
I saw that this car is from Pakistan and couldn't resist :D

Oh, sorry for ruining the pun :) I did not see the movie, only modern remake.
