Could you post readable pictures of the posters that where with the Kirkham Ironman Cobras.

How did the crushed one get crushed? Looks like it might have hurt a bit.

Sad to see a Kirkham meet its end in a movie, but in truth that was a good move from the standpoint of "continuity".
Had they used a fiberglass replica, anyone who knows anything about the original Shelby Cobras would have known that the one crushed in IronMan was a "fake" when they saw the fiberglass shatter. At least, with the Kirkham being a metal replica, it lent an air of credibility to the premise that Tony Stark had more money than sense  !
The original IronMan is one of my favorite movies, the sequel not so much  .
Cheers from Dugly

The framed picture in my car, the uncrushed ironman kirkham, is from cinema vehicles stating that the car was made for the movie Ironman. The framed poster that was with the crushed ironman Kirkham was just a poster of the actors that were in the movie.
Sad that one got crushed, but one made it out alive and will be functional shortly.

On the uncrushed Kirkham it looks like the rear rims are both on the left side of the car and the front rims are mounted on the right side, any reason for that?

They put a front tire on a rear rim and a rear tire on a front rim. Perhaps that is what saved this kirkham from being crushed. I had them reversed as soon as the car was delivered and all is well now.

Funny, the kirkham almost makes my porsche look ugly.
