Shooting Brake conversions make every sports car awesomer

Total shooting brake FAIL!

haha

I didn't see this one...

Would this be considered a shooting brake? I mean it's got that Flat back end like they are supposed to have...

Almost? The Virage/Vantage is one of my favorite Astons (it's like a British musclecar). This one looks great!

No. Just... no.

It does remind me of a thread I saw on the RX-7 Club where they shooped an FC to be a shooting brake:

The lines around the side windows are a bit questionable to me, but they're a lot better than the Jag.

Aston DB5:

Hot Wheels Challenger Shooting Brake custom?!

From Les Monde des Mopar miniatures

I don't know anything about this except that I want it.

Seriously, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.

I just found the paintjob for my new truck. Desert tan base, and these stripes in porsche brown, orange and mustard yellow. Oh yeah.

how about the nissan Pusar with the wagon hatchback?

Darn, beat me to it. I was just thinking of the same thing.

Fastback has a sloped roof that meets the body line, but not at such an angle as a sedan would have. I would say that Volvo is the *definition* of a shooting brake. This to me is a fastback:

I would call that a coupe...backseat and trunk.

Fastback.....hard slope angle all the way to the back of the car.

Has anyone else never heard the term "shooting brake" but always loved the style?

its a predominately British phrase. Here they are usually called 2 door wagons...

Different cars. The red car is a (Pinto-based) Mustang II; the b/w pic is an original Mustang, modified by Intermeccanica. Great-looking car.

Both the red car Keith posted, and the b&w car are '64 1/2 - '66 Mustangs.Looking at the grill of the red one, I believe that it's a '65.

Rats. You're right, of course. I do think they're different cars, though -- in the b/w pic, the rear pillar (D-pillar?) seems more vertical than the one in front of it (C?)

The problems with posting before morning coffee.

Toyota made a shooting brake version of the Corolla in the late 70s

So hard that the pictures I posted earlier seem to have vanished, eaten by the internets. Weird.

Now that would be awesome.

Found a cool website.

More of the website... play around on it

I want rolls royce wagon

Can't forget the M Coupe / Z3 Coupe.

Also good is the Lancia Beta HPE.

And there is the Reliant Scimitar GTE.

Z3 Coupe was one of the first mentioned
