It's funny cause later when Daewoo bought FSO and were selling Polonezy, they used leggy blondes in the ads. I guess when you have a car that can't stand-out otherwise with the competition, it's all you can do. But I failed to find an image, sorry. They are neat ads though, the blondes had crazy hair going everywhere to the sides. But I did find a consolation prize.

In fact Polonez was very safe car for the time. It had crumple zones front and rear and a reinforced passenger area. There is a funny video with Clarkson trying to kill one.

Right, they're above the line alright.

Hey now what have you got against the French and Germans?

Servo assisted brakes huh, that reminds me of something... Well more a 5-door hatch, close enough. Plus, mud flaps AND brake system failure light! Don't mind the rear leaf springs visible in the photo, the copy writer got a little carried away, who wouldn't?

It is a Gamma Berlina! Typing "lancia gamma" in GIS and picking brown gives this: http://www.jancia.eu/Index/Jancia/images/Lancia%2... The B&W sure made this harder. Thanks Devin, you got me on the right track. I'm guessing it's a Gamma 2500 engine. From the chromed wipers it's an earlier one from '76. Most of the images on the net have the different grille and black wipers from later years with more engine choices. None of this I knew before, all cribbed from google. Whoohoo!

There are SO MANY FREAKING cars that are just this close Kingswood, Cortina, Quintet (rover by Honda), innumerable FIATs, argh!

Ooh could it be a Lancia Gamma Berlina instead? Also I only knew about the Trevi thanks to that incredible dash, now I know the later Beta Berlinas had it too, they got the hood like this too, but the blinkers moved. They stayed far away from the headlights in the Gamma, making it a better choice.

Serious-gamer doesn't sound a very fun thing to be. I can see why she would get irritable from any silliness. Double the dose, stat!

Hi Skay,

It always never seems to cost anything women, I don't get it! There was a lady at the swimming practice once, her car would not start, a couple of weeks later I asked her, she said battery she got a from dealership was a dub, I thought surely it was the alternator, they gave her a new one, no charge. (badaboomtish!) Well that bad joke out of the way, how was the appetizer? I might try it someday. They have this choose three deal, we never do know what else other than the loaded potato skins to get. Kevin has strep :( He will not be going to the campout, now I don't know about how to get enough parents for the bike trip if a lot of kids show up and not many parents. Anyway have a great longer weekend.
