Then where is the other one, as I see only one listed ??


Well, only one is really used and anyway they look identical. The other one is seen in background in the middle thumbnail picture :wink:

After looking at the list on the sites home page, I don't think the number of cars on the site is a good criterion. Not seeing a car in movies does not make it rare. Perhaps, a better measure is the number made of a particular make and model.


I agree to that, we could limit it for example to cars where less than 1000 where build off....

23 were built, two are in the movie :grin:

Good idea about the number made of a car.
This excludes this for example: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Hyundai_model-Matrix.html

That is great and the kind of stuff that I am interested in. I didn't know that such a car existed. For example, I would submit the http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_23456-Studebaker-Champion-Ghia-Aigle-1955.html and the Duel-Ghia that got me thinking about this topic.

I guess, we shoud have Make, Model, year, number made, number on site, number of movies it appeared in and the link? The list should appear first on the page with comments, submittals, votes, etc following. Like the 'comming soon' list.

I guess you will have to create the list and limit edit rights. I don't think I know how to do it but I will try if you give me directions.

I already have one to submit, a Spectre R42:

I think a list on the forum is OK. I would just like to be able to easily find our rare or seldom seen cars. We need to limit edit rights so that everyone's favorite cars does not appear on the list. We might only put things on the list by vote to make sure most admins agree that a thing is rare.

We could make a list here on the forum.
Maybe not on a topic mixed with the others, but on a page dedicated to that, a little like Wikipedia articles : a page that all admins can edit. This "forum" is actually a kind of community site, the forum is only a part of the possible features.

We could add on the site a link to such special pages.
For that I would have to add entries in the menu of the site, though (currently it is missing the stats page for example).

I do not think it is possible to determine what is a rare car. Sure, the cars in you're example are, but what about limited editions or special trim levels of more common models, they can be very rare aswell.

But to know this you have to know very much about the specific make and model, only experts can decide in my opinion....

But I like you're idea, although I think we have to set up strict guidelines to determine what rare is.

I know one that is rare and that I learned about through this site: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Rumpler.html

That is a good idea if we can agree on what is a rare car and avoid everyone listing every strange thing they see as 'rare'.


Do you think is a reasonable thing to do or am I the only one?
