    If you zoom in, it has a 1969 license plate, so that’s my guess on the year.

    Yep, that's '69. The quarter panels on those are really huge. Must have been a tough job for the stamping plant..

    I believe that is a 1950 Chrysler Royal Town & Country.

    Not sure of the year, and haven't heard of a "Royal" in the Chrysler lineup.

    I think it was somewhere in the mid to late 50's Dodge used the Royal name in some upper level models, again as a modifier like Royal Lancer.

    There was also the Newport Royal of the fuselage days, I think it was actually the lower trim model.
  • berriberri Member Posts: 10,165
    Mopar marketing liked to keep you guessing :p If it was a Newport, the Royal may have been one of those spring sale promotion models they gussied up (usually a higher volume model needing a sales lift) ?

    I think it was old Yogi Berra that once proclaimed "if you see a fork in the road, take it". I guess he was talking silverware rather than navigation !

    Maybe a bit newer Nash, 53 or 54? Really, kind of clean styling for its time.

    One of the most over-hyped 'collectors cars' out there, in my opinion, the MB 190SL. Looks great, little 4 banger, more show than go...

    Early Vauxhall Carlton , X suffix = 1981 I think.

    Vauxhall Carlton circa 1978, based on the Opel Rekord.

    Here's a picture where I don't know year and model of each. I may have separate pictures of many cars if you want them posted.

    I don't know the 4 airplanes in background either. I can provide a picture of them if someone wants one. I'll get it on the way home from lunch tomorrow.

    Right. They're all Mercurys. It's the National Mercury Club's convention in Dayton. A trip to the
    National Air Force Museum for those souls who came in on Thursday for the 3-day convention.

    The white plane has a round protrusion on the lower part of the front of the body, like a witch's wart chin; it may stick out 6 feet or so. . I assume it has sensors in it or radar of some type.

    P-3 Orion? Although that sounds Navy. A squadron of those were stationed at the naval air base by my home town. The base golf course was next to the runway.

    OK, so not an Orion - those were a prop plane, and an adaptation of the Constellation passenger plane.

    That's an Aston-Martin DB5 Shooting Brake ca. 1965-6, conversion by Radford IIRC.

    The blue oval on the grille would suggest otherwise. But remember that Ford and VW did some model sharing in South America.

    A Brazilian Ford Versailles, early '90s.

    Yeah, that's it.

    Still, it was cool to watch them take off from just a few hundred yards away. The occasional F-14, too, which was much louder. :smile:
