D'oh! Muskegon man brings Simpsons car to life

[@Paul_Wetor]

The reporter's "D'oh" entering the car cracked me up. Wasn't expecting that. Nice touch!

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

I wonder if that was the first take, or were there a few takes to get the annoyed grunt just perfect

[@FokkerBoombass]

This is the "I meant to do this as a gag but I miscalculated and it actually kinda hurt" type D'oh, making it feel that much more authentic lol.

In case you guys are wondering the car is actually a 1967 Plymouth Valiant sedan.

[@Rembrant65]

Of course it's a Valiant. That is exactly the type of car that Homer and Marge would buy. Not the car Homer wants, the car Marge would agree to. This or a Dart.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

You sure? I thought it was from the 70s. My sister and her husband had 3 of them and they all dissolved in Massachusetts winters. No stopping the slant six, though.

[@unclelink]

My father had a Plymouth Valiant! I used to love going on road trips with him in it! He ended up parking it because parts were hard to get and being automatic transmission, he didn't want his left leg getting lazy so he bought a manual Morris Marina. Kept that for years eventually settling on a 1992 Toyota Hilux double cab. A lot of rust spots today, can't find an honest and punctual garage to restore it. And he's not getting younger so someone might need to step in soon to chauffeur him around. Someone should build the Fasterosa or the car that ruined Herb's career!

I hope there will be someone who does this perfectly, this one is great, its just not top level, some obvious things are back end is at 90° and its too skinny from side profile, its too long and rear light fins are small. Front bumper is too small, hood doesnt have the aero stripes or however you call these bodywork lines, door handles are skinny, tires should be higher profile, with bit smaller diameter. Even that dent is inwards, and obviously done with a machine. Im just saying, im surprised no one actually made a replica of such a iconic car, but im happy this guy did it, i bet it brings lots of smiles.

[@moeszyslak296]

[@simeonyves5940]

IIRC the Lore is that the "1986 Plymouth Junkerolla" was made in Guatemala (to get around the Auto Workers Union demanding "actual wages...how dare they!") using Soviet Tank Parts Shipped in from Yugoslavia (via Malaysia to keep the Feds from finding out that an American Company was sending money to the Soviet Union!) and whatever else was lying around, Built by untrained (and unpaid...wages reduce profits!) Labor based on a Platform and Design that really should have been put out to Pasture in the Late 1960's as it did not in any way meet 1980's Safety or Emissions Standards...yet still got sold... with, Essentially, a 1950's Engine and Gearbox , bit of a Spoof on just how *Dodgy* some of the American Car Companies were back in the 1980's....
