![]() Today's car of the day is Yat Ming's Adams Probe 16. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Adams Probe 16 ![]() What can I say? This is a truly unique little diecast. Corgi did a Whizzwheels version of the Probe 16 as well. The hard part is looking at the toy and imagining that there really is a car that looks like that! ![]() The real Probe 16 would likely be forgotten today if not for the fact that one of the three prototypes was used as the "Durango 95" in the movie "A Clockwork Orange".

I think the movie Clockwork Orange is the only place where I even saw this car and even then had no idea as to the orgins of it. That movie will forever change your view of the song"Singing in The Rain." Rape, violence, and Beethoven is not the way to go. As for the casting, it looks a bit crude with the sides of the car looking uneven. Looks like they just made the entire top plastic instead of incorporating the small amount of roof supports. I guess with such as small original price this most likely had, that is a mute point. Yoy do have to give props to yatming for choosing a model back in the day that others would not do. Zach |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Yet another good lesson about a strange auto, along with an unusual selection for a diecast company. Good stuff, Swifty!

That's a crazy 1:1, this one looks like a fantasy HW gone wrong

So true! It makes for an interesting diecast, but the 1:1 would never make into my dream garage. |

One of the most bizarre real world cars, there are Hot Wheels fantasy models that look more realistic than this real life model. |

I would have never thought this was an actual car. I've seen this casting before, I've always thought it was a fantasy car |

In a semi-sort of kit car kind of way it reminds me of the Bradley GT. |

Not sure why but the Adams Probe always made me think of the Get Smart TV show - again, really have no idea why other than they were a bit quirky and the car is on that wonderful quirky side.

Very cool. I have a Corgi, but I’ve never seen this one. |
