The Chevy in distance looks like a '64 Super Sport Coupe.
The emblem on the front lower fender for engine size looks like it's in the picture, but too blurred for
me. 283, 327, and 400 were engine choices.

berri

Full sized 62 Dodge (or Chrysler Newport, hard to tell) and maybe a 63 Comet convertible next to it.

stickguy

it's a Dodge. Can read the lettering on the side and back.

2 past the chevy wagon with roof bag, is that a ramble, or a late run Stude?

I'll go with 1963 Rambler. I had to do some looking on the net, but that taillight shape is for 63. Other years are round.

The big Ford on the extreme left is either a '66 or'67 making it a contender for newest car (along w the Chevy wagon).

65 Ford at far right.

My bad, I meant the big Ford on the far right, not the left.

1976 Plymouth Volare Premiere wagon. Looks nice.

Aspen Volare were good cars on paper, but prematurely brought to market.

Well at least the Aspen picture was taken where it feels most comfortable...

Citroen Picasso, given the very American looking background, I assume from MX?

Yup, it's a 2003 Citroen Xara Picasso.

I have nothing but good things to say about my 77 Aspen Wagon with the slant six and floor shift. Got well over 100k miles.

A friend of mine had a Volare wagon w the same setup.

Morris Minor pickup as closely as I can tell (unless it was also sold under a different name).

Kind of my point. The initial 76's had too many issues which tarnished its reputation out of the box. Most were resolved in subsequent years. I always thought those wagons were kind of cool, but I'm a station wagon guy.

Yup, it's a 1958 Morris Minor pickup in US market trim (LHD), not a popular item, I don't think I've ever seen one although the Minor sedans, wagons and convertibles were reasonably popular here in the late 1950s.

The Minor pick-up was the rarest of the variants but common enough with small building contractors and the like in its day.

They also badged this from about 1970 as an Austin (with a crinkle pattern on the grille bars) as it was sold through Austin and Morris dealerships.

There was of course also a van - our post office and the GPO Telephone service between them had about 20,000 Minor vans or maybe more....

There is hardly a photo of a town centre or village in some areas that doesn't have either the red Post office van or the green (later yellow) telephone engineers van.

magnette

I'd say this is a Mitsubishi Shogun but possibly the Pajero - given it is in Thailand I don't know what the local variant was called there

(ps - have they put some sort of predictive text not the server at Edmunds - my typing is bad but its making some weird guesses)

Sounds like it works about as well as the image posting function. :laughing:

It's a 1983 Mitsubishi Pajero, the name Mitsu used in markets outside the US for the SUV known here as the Montero. I thought the Montero was a smart attempt to cash in on the growing popularity of Cherokee type utilities.

591 HP Audi RS6 Avant - which is coming to the US!

magnette

In fairness my typing is pretty rubbish...

andys120

Yes, it's the first RS6 Avant ever to be sold here and it's about time. Oddly there's no mention of plans to sell lesser Avants other than the A4 Allroad here.

Take note Audi that Volvo wagons seem to be selling well since they were reintroduced.

fintail

No doubt dozens will sell. Although I guess it has only one competitor, so there could be a niche.

Possibly a postcard pic:

ab348

Why, could that be... a fintail?!?

I also see a190SL?, a Ford Anglia and a ‘57 Pontiac.

andys120

Just behind the 190SL, a Mercedes Ponton. Can't ID the one between the Ponton and the Pontiac

fintail

MB sedan is a fintail (of course cars backed in at right look early 50s domestic, perhaps a 53-54 Chevy then a ~50 Dodge or other Mopar. White car next to the scooters could be a few things.

Yup, the flash on the fender indicates big cubic inches, either 390 or (rarely) 427CID.

Can you ID the autos that are not VW Beetles?

"Porsche 914
Audi 100 LS
MB W123"

That sounds about right.

I see the Audi and Porsche. Where is the Mercedes?

Pulling the train.

The white and pink(!) cars on the top row are indeed Porsche 914s (except the car on the extreme right that is only partly visible).

Most of the Audis aren't 100LS models, they're the smaller Audi 80s, sold in North America and Australia as the Audi Fox from 1973-79. There's a reddish car toward the rear of the second row that looks like a 100LS.

I don't see any Mercedes cars, they're all in the VW-Audi family.

77 Trans Am

I think the cars on the train might predate the W123, unless it is indeed pulling the train (and probably still on the road somewhere).
