Old Turnpike cars

Does anyone have closeup pictures, or better, parts from the old Turnpike bodies they used to have?

Three of the cars still have that type of body. I believe there is a Purple, Blue, and Yellow one that has that body. I don't have any pictures and I am not too sure about the yellow one, because it was out of commission for a good part of the season.

Why the interest in the old Turnpike car bodies? I think I have a picture from the '70s somewhere. I will try and track it down.

I picked one up a few months ago.

Needs alot of work.

This is the only photo I could find. Not the whole car, but I hope it helps.

Hey BillW, did you say that you actually have one of the old turnpike cars? If so which one do you currently have?

[url][url]Like the blue one above. I just found out that 6 Flags Over Mid-America (near me) used these 1971-79.

Here are pictures.

Thats a great looking car, looks to be in top condition.

I would love to get my hands on one of the old style "cadillac cars". Pull up to a valet at a nice eatery or club with tophat, tux and cane.
What a "gas" :-)

Are these car bodies still being used?

Holy cow! That'd be a lot of fun to own.
