One of the hooks for the Engineer in our upcoming Dr. Who RPG was that her TARDIS always chooses vehicles when it can, and sometimes anachronistic versions of the same.  One of her/its favorite forms — the 1958 DeSoto Firesweep.  You get into the actual ship through the bonnet or the engine compartment.  It’s “a girl” and I’m hoping for a sense of humor in her operation that gives you the impression that she tolerates being a vessel for other people.

A friend of my mother’s had one of these when I was a kid in a turquoise with sea green trim.  It was big, beautiful, and I loved it.

And just because I can’t resist…the specs for the Firesweep for James Bond:

PM: 0   RED: 5   CRUS: 70   MAX: 120   RNG: 200   FCE: 3   STR: 7

GM Information:  the ’58 Firesweep is a beastly thing in turns:  -1EF to Quick Turn or Double Back, but a +1 to Force maneuvers.
