Period Correct Vehicle Thread

[VXR]

That Tom's Supra is absolutely stunning. Not in a pretty sense, moreso I'm stunned it remained tasteful with that much alteration.

I knew nothing about period mod tops before seeing this at a show in September:

I love Mod Top Mopars. I've also seen a number of Manx-style beach buggies with a similar treatment, and nearly bought a derelict Allied with a little bit of the print still visible.

The fact you could buy a stripper version of a Stagea of all things is why I love the Japanese car market.

I like how it got the same neat four-spoke steering wheel as a full-on R33 GT-R, too.

@Turbo if you wish to post so many images in a thread at once please put them in a spoiler bracket, some people don't have very fast internet, even in 2018

Spoiler: like one of these

as an example

There's a serious dearth of Volvo in this thread... I love 90s Japan more than anything but even that could use a little break sometimes.

The custom car trends of the late '40s:

Not really any mods or accessories but it is period correct. I guess the Volkswagen was one of the first cars to smoke a pipe:

Some Volkswagen ads and brochures from 1949 to celebrate the first Volkswagen to be imported to the U.S. 70 years ago today. They sold 2 cars.

If you count this, this is technically a period correct modification:

At the 1995 Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Expo, the Dodge Viper RT/10 makes an appearance. Unless you read car magazines or got access to games that featured the Viper, it was the only time people here saw it at the time.

That's...a look.



Also can't help but notice the ZJ in the background.

Stuff like this make me miss my A2 Jetta 2-Door and A2 GLi 16V/VR6. Fun cars back then.

I know this may seem like a very strange quote, but being that you created this thread, do you have any more period-correct modifications you can post in this thread? I ask this since this thread has been my favorite thread in the C & G subforum for years, but I feel like I'm the only one who actually posts here. I have thousands of period-correct modifications of all sorts saved, but I don't want to double post or make enormously large posts either. Just wondering if you'd be interesting in posting here, being that you seem interested in period-correct mods. Thanks.

Probably because it's 2019 and Instagram exists. This subforum doesn't get the traffic it used to.

Here's a 964 for your troubles.
