I thought of this car about 6 months ago, I got 1 or 2 pix from TV/MOVIE STAR CARS (http://www.javelinamx.com/carstars/tvcar2.htm) and not much else, certainly not a good start for making a nfs car. Anyway, i dont know why there hasn't been one made, i mean there are dozens of Yanks making cars, why they bother doing every consevable version of the pontiac and camaro and not some of the more interesting cars i guess we'll never know.
I have started a few cars because 'they' haven't done them, like the impala, and i still haven't finished that 60 T-Bird (youd think there'd be queue of modellers doing thunderbirds).
There are aren't enough guys doing australian cars to fill a mini, so i don't think it should be up to us to diversify into other continents yet. :look:

Elvira's T-bird (i started myself)
The Car(Lincoln)
Christine (above)
Herbie (versions ive seen far are crap)

A movie based on the novel by Stephen King. Here's a (very simple) descroption of the story: http://www.highwired.net/Paper/Article/0,1269,19366,00.html
Here's a fansite of Christine: :) http://www.christine.canadianwebs.com/
Yeah, it's funny there is none for NFS yet, I think I once saw an nfs3 version on a site I forgot, but it looked rough, to say the least. Maybe most editors find a finned fifties car still too much of a challenge.
Btw, I have seen a version of The Car by Dodge Boy; it looked funny, but then, so did the real thing. :p
Hey, you know what another neat movie/tv car would be? The pink Rolls-Royce from the Thunderbirds, aka the FAB 1. :D

well, i went off and found a few skim-milk (crap) pics of 58 fury. I might put it in the queue. Yeah, 50's cars are harder to do than later models, seems, the older the harder, especially when you hit the 40's cars with all them big curved fenders. im all to aware of it and will encounter when i tackle the FX-FJ Holden.&(
