It is Korean, I think it's a bit smaller than an R-Class. It's a SsangYong Rodius and according to this month's CAR it should be pushed back into the sea. :lemon:

mid-80s New Yorker?

seminole_kev

Dodge Diplomat?

kyfdx

I thought the Dodge had the turn signals below the headlights and the Chrysler models had them above? That is why I guessed New Yorker..

seminole_kev

Honestly, I don't remember. You're probably right.

andys120

Dodge Diplomat?

Yep, an '85.

kyfdx

Evidently not...lol

"Too square, too narrow, with buyers too old to notice" is a rather unforgettable quote from a Chrysler exec shortly after that period.

1948 Chevy

stickguy

how could you not give Andre 1st dibs on that one?

Well, you only got the easy part. He will probably weigh in with the engine displacement, rear axle ratio, and thread count in the carpet any time now.

andys120

It does look like a Chrysler but if you look carefully you can make out the crosshairs in the grille.

I'm pretty sure that's an Imperial. About 1967.

navigator89

You're right, it is a Chevy. Now anyone want to guess the year and model?

zx24me

Volkswagen 411

stickguy

must have missed that one, unless that is your guess for make and model of the Chevy!

zx24me

Nash Rambler

You don't know a 64 Chevelle when you see one? I owned about 6. 2 for the street, 4 dirt trackers.

navigator89

OK, I'm giving up 5159 since no one correctly answered it. It's a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline.

1974 Dodge Monaco.

navigator89

Exactly.

I had the '74 full-line Dodge brochure when I was 12 years old. I really wanted a Monaco but would have settled for a Dart.

Is that a Jag Mk IX from the late 50s?

I suspect it's another one that Shifty hates...

Yep that's a Mark Nine and I'm sure Mr. S has good reason to dislike it.

That's the Opel by Buick, a rebadged late 70's Kadett IIRC, or was it an Isuzu? :confuse:

stickguy

Opel by Isuzu. At least the stipes look like the Opel version, and I am not sure if the Isuzu model was ever sold here as an Isuzu.

negative

Yes, a '76 "Buick/Opel by Isuzu." The German Opels had become too expensive for GM to import, so '75 was the last year in the U.S. they were German. Starting in '76, GM imported the Isuzu-made car and called it an Opel, even though Opel didn't make it. In fairness, the car (called the Isuzu Gemini elsewhere) was the mechanical sibling of the Opel Kadett.

One of the more unusual aspects of the car was the ad campaign. Buick ran a series of print ads ranking the car in various criteria against the competition. In the final ad in the series, summarizing the results, Buick concluded that the VW Rabbit had won, and that the Buick/Opel had come in second! :confuse:

The little red jewel is Hondas original sports car the S600/800

No one identified #5178 prior to Town Hall's crash.
Here's another shot>>



C'mon. it's not that hard.

stickguy

recent vintage, but I can never keep the naming conventions straight.

It is the 4 seater, a 612?

fintail

Ferrari 456GT

Those came out when I was in high school...I really liked them then

ateixeira

Not very exciting. Now it looks too much like the Hyundai Tiburon that copied it.

andys120

but you'll have a hard time w the model name :P >>

1960 Dodge Dart Seneca

navigator89

Correct, it's a 1965 Honda S600.

andys120

Drat, I was sure everyone had forgotten the Seneca, I sure did.

Okay...'61 Dodge...

DAF 46, mid '70's. I thought that was an old Dutch plate, and knew that DAF once made cars (trucks only now). Google took care of the rest.

I want to say Chevy Monza... looks different for some reason... Maybe a later model..

subearu

Similar, but different. I think that's a Buick Skylark.

Close, but no cigar. It's a '75 Buick SkyHAWK. The Chevy Monza, Skyhawk and Olds Starfire were almost impossible to distinguish from each other. The only real differences, other than the emblems, were the grilles, but even they weren't that different.

These three were meant to be the first GM models to have rotary engines, but the poor fuel economy of the rotary engine doomed that idea after the Arab oil embargo.
