Title: Zoom Out Puzzle#1 - Solved! The Bandit Trans Am
Post by: Ultra on June 15, 2012, 02:07:54 PM
This is an against the grain type of puzzle that I hope catches on. These puzzles start in the Pro section with a very Zoomed in look at a car.  If, in a weekish, no one gets it right, I will "Zoom Out" with a new photo and move the thread to the Expert section.  If, after another weekish, no one gets it right, I will post another photo, further "Zoomed Out" and I will move it to the Rookie section.

Hope everyone understands how these "Zoom Out" puzzles work and I hope you guys start posting them right away.

Now, onto business:

Name that car!

Neat concept!  :)

Looks like a GM product - a Pontiac of some sort?

Not exactly. This is a famous car.  I chose it to demonstrate the veracity of the Zoomed Out puzzle concept.  It is obvious you are the likely winner.........

Name that car...

I will name it "1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition", named "Bandit", from the motion picture Smokey and the Bandit.
