    Aston Martin DB2/4 coachwork by Superleggera Touring circa 1955
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Fabrica Nacional de Motors, Rio de Janeiro. They made lorries in the 50's, then introduced what my book calls the FNM-200 in 1960, which was also known, apparently, as the JK after President Juscelino Kubitschek (!) - not many were made and most of those went to the Brazilian government. There were quality problems - production ended 1963....
    The Alfa it was based on was the 2000, type AR00200 which didn't do too well in native Italy, and was mainly bought by their government.

    Hello André, In 1957 Nash and Lincoln did have quad lights but if you look closely you'll see that the top light was the standard 7" sealed beam while the bottom light was a smaller 5" light. So they were within the law inasmuch as they had the required 7" fixture and they were at the same time able to offer "quad" lights.

    This situation lasted for only one year.

    Bricklin SV1 (sorry I can read the windshield banner too) ca. 1975
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    A Bricklin. Looks like some skeezy '80s Ferrari and a Z31 300ZX had a baby. A crappy, Canadian baby.

    Looks like a Studebaker Grand Turismo Hawk - guess it's a 1963 model.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yep, that's a '72 Dodge Demon.

    Everything I think it might be, I'm sure its not.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Aw c'mon, it's not some ultra rare brand, although it isn't one of their well known models.
    IIRC a few were imported to the US in the early 50's (clue).

    Delahaye?

    I found the 3-wheeled Davis easy but I don't do well outside the U.S.

    1950 Aston Martin DB2
  • ubbermotorubbermotor Member Posts: 307
    I thought Aston too, but the taillights seem wrong.
  • nolid5nolid5 Member Posts: 148
    Yeah, after more searching I'm not so sure either. I can't seem to find an image shot with a similar angle to Andy's pic. hmmmmm. Am I close?
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,104
    Magmax, thanks for that explanation on the '57 Lincolns. I always knew that the upper headlight was bigger than the lower on them, but I guess it just never registered with me.

    However, on the 1957 Nash, it looks like both the upper and lower headlights are the same size.

    I think they only sold around 5,000 of the big Nashes in 1957 though, as that would be the last year for both Nash and Hudson, so maybe they just didn't ship these to the states that hadn't legalized quad headlight setups yet? Considering that the compact Rambler was really taking off and even the little Metropolitan was selling respectably, I'd imagine that most dealers wouldn't exactly be crying over being deprived a big Nash or two to sell.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Aston is a pretty good guess but that's not it.
    It does have Touring coachwork like many A-M's of the era.

    You can see below why I didn't show you the front of the car.>> :P

    Can you say "1951-55 Alfa 1900 Sprint?"

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Good one Jack, it's a 1950 Mercury M47 (sounds more like a weapon than a truck).

    Late model Rover 75. I have a friend who goes to England now and then who LOVES that car for some reason.
  • ubbermotorubbermotor Member Posts: 307
    Actually its a '58 Continental Mark III. Keep in mind that Continental was its own division from '55 to '60, so its not really a Lincoln.

    Nope it's not a Conti, the Continental Mark III came out in '68 and looked like this>>

    The Wikipedia article on Lincoln Marks

    The yellow car may be a '58 Lincoln Mark III but it is not a Continental Mk III.

    Rover 75 is correct. Shanghai Auto, which now owns MG-Rover wants to build them in China.

    I suggest you do some more research. The 68 and later marks were Lincolns, The '56 through 60 marks (II to V) were Continentals, not Lincolns. If you look at the front fender of both the 58 and 60 above you can see the Continetnal badging on the front fenders.

    It is true that the 58 through 60 Lincolns (Capri and Premiere) shared styling with with the Continetals, but then the Mercury pickup above shares its body with Ford.

    When Lincoln began making Marks, they started at 3, becuase they didn't consider the III to V worthy, as they were to close to Lincolns. As you can tell by this 58 Lincoln Capri, the only real differance was trim.

    "How did that happen is an apt" title. Let's see if I have this right. There were Continentals that weren't Lincolns, Lincoln Marks that weren't Continentals the first Lincoln Continental was a '68 Mark III.

    Have I got this right?? :confuse: :sick:
