This billboard has been driving me crazy for a while now.
Norris Auto Sales is a relatively new used car dealership that popped up recently on the southeast corner of I-40 and Macarthur; as such, I typically pass it twice daily, and often get stuck at the traffic light at the same corner, causing me to stare at the above advertisement.
What bugs me is, as far as I can tell, the two cars on the billboard are not real cars.
It’s hard to tell on the one on left because, unless I suppose you own one, most of those exotic foreign sports cars tend to look alike. It’s possible that the car on the left is a real car, although as you can see in the enlarged photo, all branding appears to have been removed from the car.
The truck on the right looks even more strange. It looks a lot like a Chevy SSR, but it’s not one. Again, all branding has been removed from the truck in the ad.
Am I crazy? Does anyone know what these vehicles are? Or are they just some weird Photoshop mashup taken from clipart somewhere?
at first i thought the red car might be the new TVR concept car.
TVR is a smaller british company that makes big toys for boys.
I wonder what would happen if you go into that place and say that you want to buy one of those red cars they are advertising?
if your bored one day meet me over there with a video camera and i’ll go and ask them. then just to annoy them even more i’ll go ask them ok do you hae the silver one I can take for a test drive please?
Well, here’s where I stand regarding the silver vehicle. If the front is pointing to the left side of the picture, then I think it’s a really lame truck. If the opposite side is supposed to be the front, then it’s a really cool car.
Mystery solved.
