I was going to nominate the Pagoda SL, but @GTP_Ingram already beat me to it. Curse you! So instead, I'll do:


1956-1959 BMW 507

18wehj03w6uopjpg.jpg


Body Style: 2 door convertible
Engine: 3168cc V8
Power Output: 148 HP
Torque: 173 lb-ft
Weight: 1330 kg/2930 lb
Transmission: 4 speed manual
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive
Additional Information: Car was a commercial flop due to how expensive it was when new. Despite the price, BMW lost money on each one made, so much so that it nearly took the company to bankruptcy. Bond Girl Ursula Andress owned one. So did Elvis Presley.​

Perfectly reasonable substitute.
 
I'm pretty sure this wasn't nominated.

Oh wow... A car from 2015 looks like that? I know what I'm voting :drool:.

Also, you're missing weight and transmission. They're needed for it to be accepted.

I know, I'm on my iPhone and I was typing and it posted before I was done, must've tapped "post" by accident. :mad: So I frantically edited and put the rest of the specs down :lol:
