![]() Today's car of the day is Majorette's 1971 Volkswagen 1302. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle ![]() Yes, it's that car. But this car is another childhood survivor, where it lays second in command to my Twingo. This car has traveled with me all over the US and Asia, in my childhood colour, and at the time favorite car. ![]()

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I've got a similar one, possibly the same one. At one point this casting had an opening trunk but that has been cast shut in more recent editions such as this one. Which is a pity because now it has that hideosus casting line across the front fascia. Still, a nice Bug as the overall shape and look are correct!

I've got this one. Would like to find the one in red. Sean, do we have plans to change the name of this forum in particular to "Majorette of the Perpetuity"? |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
SAK, look at it this way----none of these are muscle cars you love so dearly. While it does look like a VW, I'd have to say this one is quite "coarse" in overall presentation and would not be one of my favorite Majorettes. |

It did look better with the opening bonnet but it'd not the best Beetle casting around. Not that I'm a fan of the real car. |

This view keeps reminding me of some sci-fi monster from an old film, but I can't quite remember which creature it is.....anyone?![]() |

No, we have plans to let people do whatever cars they want to do until Sean gets a new camera. Sean has zero budget for a new camera at the moment. And he learned a lesson on the last camera he bought and wants to make sure he gets a good one this time around.Think about how few Majorettes have been featured on Car Of The Day, and consider this a make-up session. We were long overdue for a bunch of Majorettes. On a side note, anyone who would like to do a week of Car Of The Day, send in images! I have a stash of pics (probably two months worth) I took before I broke the camera but I am not happy with the quality of the pictures. |

That seam along the width of the front end there really is hideous, though, isn't it? |

I looked at mine this morning- there are TWO seams! One further aft than the one you see! Everyone on God's Green Earth has cast a Beetle in the small scale. This one clearly is not one of the better ones. |
