The only sensible thing to do is for every pelican member to chip in $5 so we can buy it and burn it to the ground. Ridding the world of that monstrosity would be a rewarding endeavor!

It looks like a Lazer 917 kit car. They were supposed to look like the earlier 917s, but I would say the resemblance is faint at best. Only the front is close to looking right. I almost bought one of these years back for $25, but them some bastard came buy and offered $100.

I would say why'd they steal taillights off a 63 Chevy Impala, but looking closer, the Impala's were much better looking.

A lazer can be made to look fairly good. Herbie goes to Monte Carlo used a Lazer 917. What is important, is to get the right suspension and wheel offsets, as well as cutting a lot of the back of the car off.

Check out this thread on the East German poser. Looks like it wanted to be a Dino Ferrari.

Melkus is in production again
