Title: Hardy vehicles
Post by: SDLagent on August 23, 2008, 03:54:18 AM
I posted an image of a possible Hardy car in "The hardy Boys Trivia Game" thread and that got me thinking about other vehicles that appear in the series. It rarely specifies what make or model cars are in the books, so I thought I'd start a thread where you can post images of what you think they look.

I'll start it off with a selection of vehicles which fit into the world of the Casefiles.

The Hardys car that got blown up by the Assassins, killing Iola, could have been something like a 1968 Plymouth Fury.

The black van the Hardys got from the Bayport mall, could be a 1987 Chevy.

The Honda CB750 might be something like the motorcycles Frank and Joe rode in the Casefiles...I don't think it actually ever says the Hardys had/have motorcycles in the Casefiles, but what the heck!

This is a little talked about part of the Hardy World, so it should be interesting.

Well, in the Original series, in the 1928 text of The Shore Road Mystery, the boys buy a car that is described as looking like a "millionaires" car, that originally cost about $3,000, but doesn't have the greatest engine in the world.  It's also a higher class of car than a flivver, and with a new paint job it looks like a Rolls-Royce.

Anyways, so would that Rolls-Royce be a convertible?

I know, sorry. I meant it to be a joke. But if I pointed out it was not to be taken seriously, then it wouldn't have been as funny...

I'm pretty sure that the bikes in the UB series look like this:

Oh yeah, they share a bike! :D

Definitely ATAC issued. They'll blend in everywhere, that's for sure. And get around real fast.

So what about the Sleuth?

WOOOOOO! Did you ever take a wrong turn there.  You guys are acting like those obnoxious people on street corners.

That's hilarious. I can just imagine the Network and ATAC fans storming the S&S offices. ATAC fans will have all these huge colourful signs chanting some rhyme...

But thats for ATAC fans only so if you post there it must be because you are an ATAC fan! ;D

You guys post in the Network fan topic! So you must be a network must be a network fan!

Network post first.
Title: Re: Hardy vehicles
Post by: Olivia on September 12, 2008, 06:24:55 PM
Sorry, Robin, but I think when someone says something against ATAC, they probably mean it. And actually it's a good thing Network "fans" (I use that term loosely) posted first in that thread. Means we have minds of our own instead of a pack mentality.

Network rocks, Network rules
They ain't as slow as mules
Don't even mention the word ATAC
Because that agency is just pure whack

I'm just kidding (mostly). I can't believe I'm spending time writing up chants instead of doing school work that is due.

But chants are fun!!!! :D
