Sorry about the typo in the comment box explaining the edits that I made. The author of the cited article is Bob Lutz, not "Lurz! He described the development of the Chrysler TC by Maserati as a misadventure by the company - not that it was a misfire. Although the model failed to achieve the desired result to stimulate sales or affect the market perception among consumers, a misfire can also mean the failure of the engine to ignite properly. That is why I also added the quotes around the word in the article because "misadventure" was exactly used by Mr. Lutz. Thanks for noticing! CZmarlin (talk) 20:38, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphens after -ly adverb[edit]

Please be aware of Wikipedia's Manual of Style for hyphens, which says "Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) ...". In particular, in the article General Motors. Happy editing! Chris the speller ^yack 15:06, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Use of your picture 1964 Rambler Classic 770 wagon-green[edit]

Intend using it in a video as to why I am naming my RV Rambler IV. Original family Rambler was a car like this which my parents took to the UK in the mid 1960s. I don't have a photo of it so am using yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scope1234 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am very happy that this picture replicates your family car in the UK! That is great and have fun making the video! However, I am not sure how you are going to make a still photograph move in a video! Best wishes - CZmarlin (talk) 20:38, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of your Jeep Cherokee picture[edit]

Hello, there; thanks for granting the rights to your picture of a Jeep Cherokee to the public domain. I used it in an article about a possible name change. You can find it here:

Link to the "Cherokee-Häuptling zu Autobauer Jeep: Zeit, den Namen zu ändern" article publushed at www.wort.lu

I credited you with your full name.

Greetings from Luxemburg,

Hello Tom, Thank you for using a photograph that I had taken some time ago. This was a nice and simple Jeep. Of course, the name has now become controversial. There was even a top-of-the-line SJ version of the Cherokee called the "Chief". This would not be possible now.

BTW: I enjoyed a short visit to Luxemburg a few years ago! CZmarlin (talk) 02:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your pictures of Trabant 1.1[edit]

Hello Christopher,

thanks a lot for offering your pictures for free use on Wikipedia. I´ve published three of them on the Facebook-page of oldtimer.de today. Your contribution helped us to illustrate our article.

Here´s the link: https://www.facebook.com/oldtimerversicherer/posts/2837549686509051

kind regards

Georg (www.kludsky.com)

Hello Georg, I appreciate the use of the picture. Keep up the good work. Your website is outstanding and demonstrates professionalism. On the other hand, my images are just "point-and-shoot" and now only using a trusty iPhone! Thank you for even noticing my ammateur uploads of cars. CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Volaré recalls[edit]

Why did you take this section out? Dyno Tested (talk) 01:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the entire article after the edits and corrections. The section on recalls is there. I just moved it down from the first section. This follows all other automobile articles in that the cars are described first and then the information provided about recalls, safety, etc. No matter how many problems these cars may have had, putting a whole section of recalls before even reviewing their development and production makes it rather strange. Cheers - CZmarlin (talk) 01:36, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, in International Markets; do you really think that's an appropriate place for that information? Dyno Tested (talk) 01:47, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Dyno Tested for the correction. After making the changes to the article, I was in a bit of a rush to submit my edits and miscounted the number of "=" in the section header syntax! That is why it ended up as a sub-section under International Markets. I meant the Recalls to be a stand-alone discussion.

I think the Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare article now makes more sense when the recall section follows the background, development, and production of the cars as well as just before their successor cars that are mentioned at the end.

Take care and keep on editing! CZmarlin (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KPS Capital Talk page request[edit]

Hi. I recently made an edit request on the KPS Capital talk page. I'm a declared COI editor and noticed that you've edited the KPS Capital Partners article in the past.

Hi Morganprosek, The article about KPS Capital is not in my scope of experience. I think that I did some edits because of vandalism or excessive puffery. Will see if I can provide some contribution. CZmarlin (talk) 02:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Color[edit]

Is that the factory color and if so what letter on the door tag? If the letter is N(diamond blue) that is exactly how my car came out wheels and all and it would be so cool to see, as my car is now green with 5 spoke wheels but I like all original

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.16.178 (talk) 01:45, 7 July 2021

Hello, I am not sure which photograph of a blue car you are asking about. I have uploaded hundreds of car pictures and many of them are finished in blue! Moreover, not only did American Motors (AMC) offered a "Diamond Blue Metallic" exterior, but also Ford and Chrysler as well as Porsche had identically named paints. Enjoy your classic car!

Purple Color Code - 1972 Javelin[edit]

What is the color code for the beautiful 1972 purple Javelin with the white C Stripe you have pictured. Thank you. JavelinSST71 (talk) 13:46, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JavelinSST!

I am glad to know that you are interested in AMC Javelins, and the SST models in particular, as evidenced by your signature!

The car in the picture was at the 2014 American Motors Owners (AMO) convention in North Charleston, North Carolina. It is finished in AMC's "Wild Plum" (paint code D9) metallic that was available only on Javelins, Hornets, and Gremlins (when equipped with the X package). This was a new exterior color for the 1972 model year cars. There is a brochure page with the 1972 colors here. The Planet Houston AMX website has a vintage Martin Senour listing with their color codes that may help you here. I have heard that some of the tints are no longer available in the new paint formulas. Hope you can find a good source.

Enjoy your Javelin and keep on AMCing! CZmarlin (talk) 14:58, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

77 Gremlin[edit]

Hey I just purchased this gremlin! I’m reading online about it on the drive back home to Wisconsin and I came across this page and the photo of it with the original price tag, which is still in it. Hasn’t changed since 2014 and I’m beyond excited to own it. Just thought it was cool to see it on the internet, first prompted site to use and it’s photos of my car ! 174.251.208.62 (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is good to know that you are a new and proud owner of an AMC Gremlin. I look forward to seeing it at an AMC or other classic car show. Enjoy your Gremlin and take care! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Using your 1963 Studebaker Avanti photo at hobbyDB[edit]

Hello! Just letting you know that we're using your 1963 Studebaker Avanti photo at hobbyDB as the main photo on our database entry for the '63-'64 Avanti. We're documenting every Avanti model and that page is kind of a director to them. Thanks for making such a fantastic photo available to use! — HotWheels53 (talk) 16:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings HotWheels53,

Taking on the task of documenting the Studebaker Avanti model cars is most interesting and a valuable source for collectors. I am glad that you are using the picture of the "real" car on the webpage. This car was on display during an art show and a presentation by Milton J. Antonick at Concord University. Mr. Antonick worked on designing Studebakers in the early 1960s and moded to Chrysler where he had a hand in cars such as the Plymouth Barracuda and Roadrunner.

Many thanks for letting me know about the Avanti image use! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recognize the Ambassador wagon[edit]

Hi,

Didn't use your images but I recognize the car. I own it now! And it looks pretty much the same, runs great, and is driven often. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baclarkson (talk • contribs) 17:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have a soft spot for AMC Ambassador station wagons as my parents had two of them. The first was a 1968 SST finished in Scarab Gold with a matching gold interior. It was equipped with the 343 CID 2-barrel V8, power-disk brakes, A/C, AM/FM radio, cruise control, etc. It saw heavy-duty work with over 300,000 miles on the clock before they sold it and the second owner put many more miles on it. The second was the last lear of the Ambassador was offered. This 1974 was finished in white with the standard wood-grain body trim and the interior in blue. This was a gorgeous and comfortable highway cruiser with the 360 CID 2-barrel V8. It had more interior space than most large SUVs in the 2020s. For example, it was easy to load up 8-foot-long lumber and close the 2-way tailgate. This big wagon would swallow cargo and still have plenty of room for six adult passengers. It was a workhorse. I wish someone would now offer such a practical design with the Ambassador's room and looks.

I hope you are enjoying your Ambassador wagon! Keep on AMCing! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Smaller images, now?[edit]

Not complaining. But has something changed this year, concerning image sizes? Lately, many editors are rejecting any attempts to enlarge images. GoodDay (talk) 02:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GoodDay,

Although specifying a larger image size may provide more detail, the WP style guidelines state that "except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels should not be specified." This is because individual users can specify their image base width setting. Therefore, it is best to keep the images in default mode and only use the "upright=scaling factor" if absolutely necessary. There are specific suggestions as to when different scaling can be used such as in the cases of vertical or portrait (rather than the standard landscape pictures) as well as for very wide panoramas. Please see MOS:IMGSIZE for more information.

I hope this helps! Cheers, CZmarlin (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
