Jack Brown Subaru
Hey Earl - I was digging around in your locker this morning and found an interesting picture of an ad from Jack Brown Subaru in Illinois, showing what they termed the All-New 1992 SVX "Comp Car". It had some added graphics on the outside and what looked like a white leather treatment on the dash and seats.
Just curious do you know any other details about that? I didn't particularly care for the treatment but wondered how many of those they did and if you or anyone else here had seen one about.

Digging around in my locker?
I have never seen or heard of one other than in that flyer. I don't really like the "enhancements" and wonder about how they did it.

I just added the jpg of the other side of that flyer. It gives some more info on it. You can see it here.
I will be adding all of my collection to that locker. This is what the enhanced lockers will be like in the near future.

Thanks Earl. It looks like Jack Brown was really into leather!
Always interested in anything SVX, especially the rare color combinations that pop up every so often. Interesting museum you got there!

Ugh! I'm not fond of the extra stripe decals. Reminds me that similar stripe styles were a popular dealer add-on for everything from Geo Metros to Honda Accords back in the early '90s-- anything to add a little "distinctiveness" to your new econobox. The white leather interior must have required a little more work. I wonder if that particular car is still around?
When I worked at the Infiniti dealership in 1991-93, we used to "pimp" new cars into "Special Editions" like this all of the time. Pinstripes, aftermarket spoilers, wheels, wood dashboard kits, gold-plated emblems, and the like, were all too common. I'm surprised this SVX doesn't have aftermarket wheels, too. We had one '92 Q45 that got 'tarted up' into a 'P-51Q' to reference the WWII era fighter plane. Along with tacky pinstripes and custom 'P-51' logos, it got a tuning chip, custom exhaust, yellow-stripe-sidewall tires, and big chrome rims. The owner of the dealership actually took it out to the Bonneville Salt Flats and raced it before selling it to some unsuspecting customer! Last edited by davew833; 02-24-2007 at 09:38 PM. |

OH yes! I remember those dealer-added special editions! Did they really think that adding the letters "GTO" to the side of a Pontiac would make it a GTO? And the 4-4-2 tape treatment for the Olds Cutlass. Ugh is right. But people bought em!
