Thunderbirds are go

All 13 generations of the Ford Thunderbird are on Autocade now. I believe the first entry of the 13 that we put in was the boxy, Fox-platform 1980 generation, completed on August 17, 2009.

While well known outside China… Read More »Roewe’s all up

Innocenti Morris IM3.

Innocenti’s ADO16s

One of the regular types of updates we did on Facebook was letting followers know about the latest additions, whenever we finished a series of them. Therefore, not every update went through—that would have meant a crazy level of duplication. We restricted these to a recently completed series of cars (e.g. one model line, multiple… Read More »Innocenti’s ADO16s
