    1947 Willys CJ-2A
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Close, it's a 1946 model. The CJ-2A was the first civilian Jeep, essentially the same as the
    Willys Model MB Jeep that seved in WWII.

    I'm pretty sure that's the Alfa Romeo marque
    could it be 80's Alfa Romeo 75?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Close but no cigar.

    Maybe a very late Alfetta from the early 80s?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Nope, it's an Alfa 90 from the late '80s.
    The 90 apparently was just upmarket from the 75/Milano being slightly longer but a tad slower as it used essentially the same V6 and I4 engines.

    '67 Oldsmobile Toronado
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    I think it's a '66. :P

    Right you are on the Toronado. According to one web site, the only change in '67 was an egg crate grille.

    I only participate here to prove how imperfect I am. ;)

    I'll say (probably incorrectly) that this is a '78 Honda Accord. Anyway, if I got the year wrong, it's from the first Accord generation. (1976+)
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Actually I don't know the year but it is indeed the Gen 1 Accord Hatchback ('76-'81).

    Drat, I thought the German plates would fool someone. :cry:

    Here's one for you (which for a long time WAS a mystery to me). Bonus points for naming the TV program it was seen on.

    Columbo
  • negativenegative Member Posts: 107
    Right program. Wrong country. (Well, it DID say Columbo and Russia a moment ago.)
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,628
    It's a Peugeot 403 ca. 1960
  • negativenegative Member Posts: 107
    Darn close. 1959.

    '58 Chevy. I don't know the model, so I'll say a Bel Air.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    It's a '58 Impala, the first year for that model

    This is an AC 2.0 litre Saloon, an amazing vehicle that continued to be available through about 1957 although only a handful were ever ordered. Built in the traditional way, it used ash framing under an alumimum body. This car still had solid axle leaf springs front and rear while their AC Ace and Aceda had independent front and rear suspension.

    I just discovered this forum tonight and couldn't help jumping in without asking first with the AC 2-litre identification. Then I did a little browsing to see just what kinds of cars are put up as mystery vehicles. This looks like fun. Can anyone join in? I'm a fan of 50s cars and of certain obscure European brands as well so maybe I'll have some luck in guessing at a few.

    You're correct in identifying the AC 2-Litre Saloon, produced in limited numbers from 1947-58. Yes, anyone can join in. Feel free to post your own mysteries as well.

    Somebody's UK-market kei car (the unpainted bumpers would be about as popular in Japan as the Toyota Cavalier, and there's not enough demand for a car that small in other RHD markets).

    REVA ElectriCitycar, at least its called something like that - there are quite a few running round in London, and I think it is built in India, at least for our market. Doesn't pay any congestion charge, but I have never seen any outside central London, so they don't seem to have seized the market by storm outside the congestion zone.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yep, I figured you'd get that one.

    How 'bout this one?

    I've seen the 2-door before, they made about 1000 of those, but the 4-door saloon in the first picture is much rarer, they only made a few, and I should imagine they are virtually extinct. They made a 2-door tourer version as well, called the Buckland although I think that was the name of their coachbuilder.

    The grey hatchback is a 70s Corolla. It's pretty big for an import of that era.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Toyota Corolla Liftback, about 1977/9.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Sorry, I'm reading these messages and replying to them in reverse order, having been away from the computer for two days. The Zetec engine is made in my home town of Bridgend in Wales, at least for all Euro markets, but the hatchback is overwhelmingly more popular here as with most cars, you say you are in the minority in US in a hatchback version, but I can never understand why we in Europe and the Japanese in their home market buy so many more hatchbacks than your countrymen - the saloon version of some cars, like the Focus just aren't sold here in any numbers - the previous Focus had a 4 door option but the new one doesn't yet, and companies like Renault sell Megane hatchbacks by the dozen but the saloon is quite rare.
    Re roundabouts, I find they are the best part of my journey to work, I can nip round slower or bigger cars, much more fun than a filter lane with lights! Don't like mini-roundabouts though - too tight. Outside Cardiff there is one which has a circumference of three quarters of a mile - its like a racetrack, but sadly they've put traffic lights on it to regulate flow, so thats not so good now...

    Correct, they were attractive cars IMO with a similarity to the Lancia Beta HPE but nothing much in the way of performance.

    Try another?>>

    Looks like a late '70s VW Dasher.. But, I'm guessing that is a euro-model... small bumpers...
