Congrats on the buy Harlan. I did a quick search on google, the Ghia looks pretty good considering the time period. We need to see lots of pics! |

Beautiful car, Harlan! With an automatic? That's not common, is it? |

it is and it isnt. over here most of our cars are manual and alot of modern cars are. but on these particular cars there seems to be alot more automatic ones around than manual ones. on alot of the older pre 85 cars particuly higher end/top of the range cars it seems like it was a luxury to have an automatic gear box. on the mk1 granadas they even had a little badge on the boot stating that it was automatic. im thinking of getting an ixo 1/43 mk2 granada and have it painted up like mine to go on the dash board and a hot wheels 1/25 scale one sprayed up as mine to go on the rear parcel shelf or do these ideas seem abit stupid? im not really sure. i have seen some other cars with this done Edited by harlans toys, Jan 28 2010, 06:43 PM.
