OpenCommunityimcdb - Yue Loong names and chassis codes

22/12/2022 @ 15:27:10: Parzival49: Yue Loong names and chassis codes

Model names and Chassis codes in the Yue Loong page are kindly messy, I just think it need to be unified

As you can see on the site, their names usually look like this: YLN-255 DL Homer

YL/YLN-XXX(numbers)X(single word) means chassis code.
The English words (DL/DX/GTA/SF...etc) after the code means trim.
However, Yulon combined them as chassis code for different models.

Thus, YLN-255 DL Homer should change to => Homer [YLN-255 DL]
YLN-303T Sunny Truck => Sunny [YLN-303 T]

*
I'm not sure if we need to add "Truck" after Sunny Truck ver., since it can be identified by the "T" word after YLN-303.
Another example is YLN-303W, wagon ver. of Sunny, it also can be identified by "W" after YLN-303, but we didn't add "Wagon" after it.

Short cut:
YL-1to5, Feeling and Arex
Early Commercial vehicles
Bluebird and Laurel
Cedric
Violet and Stanza
Sunny and Sentra
Bobby
Homer and Homer 747

The quickest way to distinguished them is by bumper, Sunny for short ones, and Sentra for US-spec bumper.
In 1988, Yue Loong had imported some US-spec 4dr Sentra, very rare now.

Started from the next gen. Sentra, it no longer carried with Yue Loong's logo
Only a Yue Loong badge at trunk

The model has nearly 30 trims = =, some are too detail to distinguish them effectively.
Also, they are rare now, so the info may not be completed.
For example: I couldn't find any info about YLN-353 with 1.2 engine, but perhaps it never exist.

YLN-256T 2.0 (1989-????) Class: Cars, Chassis Cab

This model has lots of trims, too. I tried to simplified it as possible as I can
The name of van is Homer 747, truck is Homer
YLN-256T is supposed to be the facelift ver.

Truck =>
T: 2.0 Petrol, DL: 2.7 Diesel, DC: Double Cab
PVS: With a big alumin box with windows, PVC: With a big alumin box without windows
Van =>
H: high roof, S: Standard roof, A: Ambulance

04/01/2023 @ 16:48:48: antp: Yue Loong names and chassis codes

I updated most of them
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Yue+Loong.html
I made the chassis code always visible beside model names in lists for that make, like for BMW or Mercedes.

What about this one?
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1620317-Yue-Loong-YLN-251-V640-1965.html
I suppose that it can't be 251 since the movie is from 1966?

Also, there are YLN-751 & YLN-753 to update with a model name
And a few Bobby for which the right code should be chosen (otherwise I can use YLN-352 by default?)

And a few unknowns: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Yue+Loong&model=unknown&sortBy=2

Yes, it looks more like Prince Clipper by the side line, and it's not possible to see the headlights of YLN-251 by this angle

14/01/2023 @ 14:08:44: antp: Yue Loong names and chassis codes

So not a Yue Loong at all?

Both pics are the from & rear of the same vehicle, I suppose? (same color, same place)

Well, how about this, sorry for bad photoshop
I believe these can help, you can note the different, such as headlights placement and side body line are not the same
