Marbon Formacar, 1969, by Borg-Warner. I posted recently about the Alpine Marbon CRV. Marbon-Chemical (a subsidiary of Borg-Warner) used the Formacar to promote their Cycolac ABS plastic to the US automotive industry. The Formacar was powered by an AMC V8 engine but failed to attract any takers for Cycolac in the US auto sector. Instead it found applications such as lawn chairs and outdoor equipment.

1958 Packard Hawk Sport Coupé

The interior was full leather, with full instrumentation in an engine-turned dash. As on early aircraft and custom boats, padded armrests were mounted outside the windows, a rare touch.

The styling was definitely controversial, often described as 'vacuum-cleaner' or 'catfish' by detractors. The styling has come to be appreciated more today than in its debut. Only 588 were sold, with Packard's impending demise a likely contributing factor. Most were equipped with the Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Approximately 28 were produced with the B-W T85 3-speed w/overdrive manual transmission. Studebaker-Packard was the first manufacturer to popularize the limited slip differential, which they termed Twin-Traction. Most Packard Hawks came with TT. It was certainly the fastest Packard ever sold, since it shared the majority of its components with Studebaker's Golden Hawk. The price was $3995, about $700 higher than the Studebaker model, but with a more luxurious interior. Electric window-lifts and power seats were optional extras.

Its rarity and status as the best-regarded of the 'Packardbaker' final-year cars have made the Packard Hawk quite collectible. Values are roughly double those of the equivalent Studebaker, although they are still low by comparison with Corvettes and Thunderbirds. Because a Studebaker drivetrain was used, mechanical parts are more readily available, although body and trim parts are more difficult-to-impossible to find. While it is a unique car, current restoration costs almost always exceed the selling price.

So I'm dying of laughter, so in my Chip and Dale fanfic they have to go to the more seedier side of things,

Picture Husk. Bugs Bunny, Alastor, Oswald and Blitz playing poker in a casino as these two Detectives march in looking for Oswald to ask him questions and this group are just absolutely tearing into Disney and the shit they've been doing while tossing back drinks

That's not even mentioning Angel Dust and Betty Boop being friends working the streets with Holli Would and one of mine an OC called Simone Borg,

God this is why I love IRL meets Cartoon because of these moments
