Crashed American cars, What Car? 1/76
This shot accompanied an article on a new code for crash repairs by members of the VBRA. I assume the photo was something they happened to have in the library.
Looks like all three cars had a struggle with power vs. braking ability. The middle one appears to be an Oldsmobile Toronado, but I'm not sure about the other two. PLA3E perhaps another Oldsmobile, and the left-hand car (PLB75L?) maybe an AMC Javelin?
The single-digit registration seems to be relatively common on British-registered American cars of the time, maybe to suit the squarer plate size?
