Looks like it is very average, to be honest.
1990 Stockholm 830X4A
Price: 3352.67 USD or 30861.093 SEK
Mileage 152544
Selling my 1990 Stockholm 830X4A. Bought it in 1995 from the original owner, treated it well ever since. Had the factory accessory package called the Adventure package, adding some lights and fuel cans. This also as the premium package, giving a very nice interior and two sunroofs. There also is a family package, which adds a third row, and a comfort package, which installs captain’s chairs. Stock equipment includes a robust 4L V8, a 3 speed automatic transmission, 4WD, and locking differentials. I have taken this car off road, and it has been fantastic. I also can sell a rooftop tent and crossbars for a little more, call me to discuss.
I am firm on this price, it is very fair. If anything, it is a steal.
Lore
Back in 1985, the management at Stockholm gave the engineering team a challenge; make an offroader with the capability of a Range Rover, the luxury of an S class, and the driving dynamics of a BMW. Unfortunately, this message was not sent properly, so the resulting product was a hot hatch. To further complicate things, the marketing team were told to advertise a family car. Last minute changes were made, including a 30MM lift, rugged tires, a third row, and AWD, but the resulting vehicle was hated by the automotive press. Little did they know that vehicles like this would be the future. This first attempt at an off reader sold well enough, but it was not compelling enough. Back to the drawing board, and this car was the result. Offered in 5, 6, 8 and even a V10 from the 1040S2 super car at one point, it finally brought a true SUV to Stockholm Motors. The 4-door model came out in 1990, which is this car. A 2 door followed suit late next year, along with a long wheel base model. It had off road potential, but considerably safer and easier to drive then the competition. Later a truck and panel van were offered as commercial variants. The car redesigned over many years, with the 8 and 10 cylinder offerings getting killed in 2008, and passenger units seeing their fate in 2012. However, commercial variants stopped production in 2016, finally marking the end of the second Stockholm SUV.

Thanks! The wheel arches, as well as part of the lower half of the truck, were fabricated out of 3d fixtures. The fact that it looks average/normal means it was a success! I modeled it after a very specific truck that I used to have.
Btw, have you experimented with the interior fixtures yet? They can be a lot of fun!

I have, but I am not confident in enough in my work quite yet to submit it in challenges.
Thanks!

I know I’m a bit late, but… 1993 Ford SVT Lightning and 1991 GMC Syclone?
Is there some major difference between a 1993 Lightning that justifies having both the 1993 and the 1994 on the wall?
Also, cool wall is open as long as the challenge is, so don’t worry about being late. 
The next f150 lightning didn’t come out until 1999 so I imagine the 1994 would be the same as the 1993
Oops, missed the 93.
Well then, two cool wall submissions to see where they’d land.
First generation Honda CR-V
Even if this was from the era of crossovers still having some portion of offroading prowess, it’s probably still gonna land on the uncool portion of the wall, but in my defense it does have the legendary “CR-V Table” so that makes them sub-zero in my opinion. 
CR-V (replaced with a less sucky picture) and Syclone added. And yes, @variationofvariables, you’re right that the CR-V is seen as kind of dorky in this case. Just keep in mind, this was 2007. Time has been kind to some cars. Now, Henry is a fictional character, but I have to agree that some early crossover-suv-ish things like the (which I can say without being ashamed) 1st gen CR-V and (ashamed to say this, really ashamed to say this) 1st gen Santa Fe (sorry!) have been getting second thoughts from me lately. I thought the 1st gen (or any gen) CR-V was kind of dorky back in the late 00s, not to mention what I thought in the 90s, but compared to the completely soulless crossovers of today it actually sports some personality and charm (which actually most Hondas did back then, but now?). I start to like it, honestly.
But that’s just my own reflections and nothing that affects this challenge so just take it as a sidenote.
Naming convention question, we’re doing something like “YACC Texaslav” for the model and family, right? No dash this time?
Honestly, I am not being that strict about it. The preferrable format is “YACC (User) - Brandname Modelname” but if you should happen to write “YACC User - Brandname Modelname” I really won’t ban you for that.
While evaporating Henry’s opportunities to be salty about the wrong model year, i will sit back and wait and admire the entrants cars

Mk1 or Mk2 Scirocco?

1989 Arlington Archprince Touring ZS
Selling old American wagon. 219,000 kilometers, mechanical side sound, virtually unrustable. Working sunroof, leather seats, tape deck hooked up to high-fidelity speakers. ZS performance package included, so it has some traction; want more, drop a damn anvil in the back or something. It's got a 4-speed automatic and a lazy 4.3-liter V8, so it's smooth. $3500 ($3495) firm.
Lore Stuff
The 1989 Archprince was not actually a new car. The chassis was almost entirely the same as that of the outgoing box Archprince, just shortened a bit. However, the style of the sedan and wagon was brought in line with the blockbuster '86 compact Airacruiser and '88-starting midsize Antares, if a bit more conservative (With the conventional grille and all that).
The big update, however, was the engine. The Archprince and its more plushy Somervell counterpart both received a new 16-valve SOHC CamTech engine, which heretofore was only available in the Foxhound muscle car as a top option. This allowed Arlington to go with a smaller bore than before (making for a 4.3 displacement) while not sacrificing any of the power output.
This particular car has the ZS trim, which means a 3.73 limited-slip rear end and a dual exhaust that allows an output of 217 horsepower. It also means no rear-facing jump seats in the trunk and all-new front bucket seats with a center console, and a console shifter as well. There is much less chrome on the outside than there is on other Archprinces - and what chrome there is is blackened.
The ZS trim’s sporty front row goodies were later reused in Arlington’s mid-90s unibody sports sedan and the second-gen Foxhound.
