    You were fortunate to get a car that was in pretty good shape, but the finished model is 100% better. I really like the red with the tan interior.

    Indeed, one of the finest cars to ever come out of France. Love that intro.😊 Sometimes a classic look is the only way to go. I love it.

    • @MapleLeafCustoms
      @MapleLeafCustoms  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks, David. Happily, I still see these on the road over here. Getting to be a rare sighting now, but there are some well preserved ones still purring. 🍁☕️

    Great looking casting, spot on with the color choice. I think if MB had realized people would be restoring and customizing years after childhood, they too would have deleted the tow hook, but the 6 year old on me still wants to tow a camper with a race car 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for kicking off my Sunday as always.

    • @MapleLeafCustoms
      @MapleLeafCustoms  4 місяці тому

      I have a love/hate relationship with those tow hooks! Decided to keep this one, simply because it helped to fill the big gap that was already too apparent in the tail end. Thanks for following, Brian! 🍁☕️

      Thanks, Skip. It was really bothering me that I could see the Citroën chase scene in my mind but couldn't place which movie it was from. Then it hit me! 🍁☕️💡

      In the film, his girlfriend says, "Don't take my Maserati," which is a nod to the Maserati engine that Citroen put in it. 🍁☕️

    Was the car really that long ago? Good grief, where did that all go? I also wonder how many SMs they got through in the movie 🤔😖
