at one time you were supposed to have them covered so that you couldnt accidentally dazzle /use them on some one

I bow to your superier knowledge dear sir

a big blackish greyish thing

shud av been thid

"Big blackish greyish thing" never really caught on as a product name, so they called it an Impala instead.
"Appleton" spotlights are a popular hotrod accessory, especially on 50s/60s "Led Sled" style Kustoms, (yeah, spelt with a K). Presumably because they were used on Police patrol cars at the time.

if thats an impala  whats a barracuda look like 

got to admit i,m losing the .plot. as to name,s and type,s of vehicle,s  these days,, :)

Impala

Barracuda.  ;D

   hate to be a dissenting wotsit , but I think it's a Riv , possibly a '65

 ;D Me too Pontiac Riviera ;D

It`s American !!!!......................................I`ll be over in the corner if you need me.................. ;D ;D ;D ;D

definately cars them

Now one of my claims to fame (?) was serving Lonnie Donegan at the Blue Post Cafe near Hinkley when my old chap briefy owned it, was only about 10 or so. Lonnie pulled up in what I have always believed was an Impala but it had two chrome things stuck on the roof at the front, a bit like trumpets but at the same time nowt like a trumpet. Bet some of you will know what I am on about and if so can you let me know please? :)

Was it an Impala?

Oh yeah, for those interested, Lonnie had beans on toast and a mug of tea and gave me a two bob tip :)

I don`t know!!! they make a record and then just throw their money away................. ;D ;D ;D ;D

badge inside said riviera

tiny black and red thing

key actually turned round when engine ran

cute aint she

There are 2 drag racing Fiat 126s that sometimes race with revolving keys in them. Taz Racing.
I consulted with Mr Lunatic at the workshop today & you are indeed right chaps -tis a Rivierra.
As the man in the orthopedic shoes said, I stand corrected.

when I was a nipper my old man always had bikes and combos then he passed his test in a four wheeler and bought a scrappy old anglia van no back seats just cushions didn't last very long and cost him a mint in repairs so it got scrapped then he bought a bedford van again no rear seats just them cushions that didn't last long ,then one day he came home with the estate version of one of these and on the first day I got to sit in the front seat (covered in red leather ) you could smell the leather then I looked back and thought this is as big as my bedroom  totally amazed by the size of it

ok its in really good nick but why does it shout TRIKE ME TRIKE ME

because it can. Lovely bit of extra storage space behind the rear seats too. Just trying to be practical here. ;D ;D ;D ;D

is this the most successful rally car (in it's class) in the history of the whole known universe and everything that happened before elvis came along or am I just dreaming

Yes and No ;)

   I really, really want a Farina estate ( Farnham ? ) as a tow car for the dragster, however, that would mean rebuilding that first so maybe not a necessity at the moment
