There is a building in San Francisco that has a 914 paper model painted on the side.
I am curious as to the story on this. Does anyone have copies of these models to print? I remember them around some time back. Attached thumbnail(s)

I don't think that's a 914...
Similar, but it looks British to me. The 914 paper models were orange and they had all the curves right. THis one has the roof and sails wrong. Zach |

Looks a bit like a Fiat 850 Spider from the late 1960's - early 1970's to me. Because of the headlights being depicted in the cutout. And the front and rear bumpers on a 914 don't stick out like the ones shown in the cutout; plus that cutout has a sharp nose on the car, while the nose on a 914 is blunter.

I mean..maybe it should be a 914. Get something printed like a huge sticker, or a huge banner... one night, while it is quiet....change the picture |
