Who knows about these cars? Someone is trying to sell one in Watkins, CO. They are real pimp mobiles. Can't find anything about Czar Inc. except that it was located in Philladelphia, PA. THere'a couple of car ads that literature dealers sell, then there's the car that matches the pictures on the ads. They are basic toros with gaudy shag carpet, silly looking buckles on the trunk deck, and an uglified front grille with bird hood ornament matching the company logo. THe ads claimed they made a limited run of 300 of these things, but I bet they made 50 and sold released or sold the remaining Toros they had as regular production cars. After all, a fairly great percentage of the population had some sense of classic style then. LOL!

Looks like the Toronado version of the SuperFly Eldorados built by Les Dunham. Some of them had big headlight covers, fake sidemounts, padded tops, S bars, etc.

Here's a Corvorado, and Eldorado based on Corvette. Most were all Eldorado, though.
