Title: What year and model is it?? (off topic)
Post by Melissa on Nov 9^th, 2004, 11:02am

Ok, I know it's a Chevy, but what I'm having hard time doing is identifying the year and name of the car. I'm more effluent on the 60's and 70's models. :-/

One thing I am very upset about, is that it has no headlights! ARGHHH >:(

Anyway, any help would be super and I'd really appreciate it!

the headlights are the lamps where the side mirrors would be, if I am not mistaken. Could not tell you the make, not an old car enthusiast myself.

maybe it's the Chevy Vodka ;;D

I was thinking that myself, but wasn't 100% sure.

I tell ya, there was about a 1/4 of the vodka left in the decanter. It ended up spilling in the trunk of my car. Pheeewwwweeeee!! [smiley=laugh.gif]

My guess it is just someone's idea of what a old Chevrolet may have looked. To me it looks more like a Cadillac design from around 1905.
The cowl lights were oil lamps and used up to about 1920 on most cars. Electric headlights lights (arc lamps) were used as early as 1910. Some cars had both. The lack of electric lamps would put it at about 1895-1910.

Hi,

I dont think it's a chevrolet, from what i've found none of the chevy's had those lights.

It could be an impression of a Ford T

Most likely it is just a one-size-fits-all bottle. I'd be willing to bet that it could have been bought with more than one name sticker on it. One for Ford fans, one for Studebaker fans, etc.
Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. ;)

It is a porcelain and metal classic car vodka decanter from 1979. Here is what is stamped on the bottom:

Anyhoo, thanks for tryin to help everyone! I wasn't sure if it was a replica of a certain car or not.

On that label it says something I can't read Specialties, Inc.

You might try to Google that and see what pops up.
