Would like to see userboxes for Chrysler

Anybody have any thoughts for making userboxes for Chrysler cars? I don't have too much time in my life with making userboxes for Wikipedia, so someone please help me by making and posting a few.Chris Batchelor(Byankno1) 23:02, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Chrysler

[edit]

I don't see any Chryslers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph507357 (talkcontribs) 00:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MGB and MGB GT

[edit]

Would it be possible to include the above models, please? Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure it would be no problem to make a couple of those up in quick order. Do you have an image that you would like used, otherwise I can see what is available on Commons. - Ahunt (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your prompt reply...(within an hour!)... I would be delighted if you would. Sorry, but I don't have any images. For what it's worth, my own car is a 1970 white B GT, which I have owned since new. Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 23:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I try to be punctual. How do these look? Please let me know if you would like any changes as they are quick and easy to do:

Excellent work. What a service. A white GT as well. You are very kind. Would it be possible to alter the MGBGT box to read "... owner"?
Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 08:59, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't take much sleuthing at all to find a white MGB GT! The wording is fixed! - Ahunt (talk) 12:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I opened up my page and there it was already with the revised wording.
I am very grateful. All the best, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 14:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - userboxes are easy and fun to do for other editors. If you need any more just drop me a note! - Ahunt (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know that. Should contact be made on your own talk page in future or an appropriate subject talk page? Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter, I watch them all! - Ahunt (talk) 16:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lamborghini Countach

[edit]

I really would like a userbox for my favorite car, the Lamborghini Countach! Allen (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is this?
Code Result
{{User:Ahunt/Countach}}
This user's favorite car is the Lamborghini Countach.
Usage
Let me know if you need any changes to the picture, colours or wording! - Ahunt (talk) 13:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Could you add the fact that the Lamborghini Countach is the favorite car of the Wikipedian? Or, make an alternate version?
Speaking of alternate versions, could alternate versions be made for each kind of Countach (LP400, LP500, Quattrovalvole, Anniversary Edition, etc.)? Allen (talk) 03:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I fixed the wording above. How does that look? I can do those variations without any problem. Is that a complete list of them? - Ahunt (talk) 14:03, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It looks great. I'd appreciate those variations. I don't think those are the only ones. I'd check out the Lamborghini Countach article for the complete list.
Also, even though I don't have one, I'd think about starting this variation: "This Wikipedian owns a Lamborghini Countach." (or something like that). Just use your imagination for any others. If I think of any, I can let you know.

Non-USA Ford cars?

[edit]

Would love to see a box for the original Ka. Iva T (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox

[edit]

@Ahunt: Can you add this userbox to the gallery I don't now where it goes. The company that created this car merged with another company, then the merge company broke up after this car stopped production. User:WaddlesJP13/Mini. Catfurball (talk) 19:25, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of arbitrary, but I put it at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Automobiles/Models_A–L#Austin. - Ahunt (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

@Ahunt: Can you please separate the automotive industry userboxes onto their own gallery. Catfurball (talk) 21:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
