What about this little gem then??
Produced from 1968-1988 in a total of almost 150000 pcs; sold in US 1969-1970 as a "truck".
If you're a fan of the King you know it from his 1973 broadcast "Aloha from Hawaii via satelite"
Bodywork in ABS-plastic is its unique USP

Early 60s Dodge Lancer. Almost identical to the Plymouth Valiant. Both ran on that great lil slant six.

Nope....that's cheating. We discussed that earlier in the thread. We have an Honor System. If one does not know the vehicle and has to look it up with Google, you consider yourself out of the running....and do not reveal the answer, so that others can guess.

I offer a free lesson in Swedish:

Ogooglebar, adj.

Definition: Literally meaning "ungoogleable," the term is used to describe someone or something that doesn't show up in Google results.
Used in an English sentence: "I'm going on a date tonight, but she's totally ogooglebar!

Damn hard to find something Ogooglebar these days...

It's very obvious some people are cheating.

Well, then, that's on them. They have to live with their conscience.


Anyhow, back to the topic. Here's another one.

Yep, a TC.

What I'm not sure of, though, is if Scion later had to pay Chrysler royalties for using the tC nameplate.
