    In fact, I posted the full page instead of the picture only

    I just re-edit my previous post and now I see it

    So, name and model year?
  • johno111johno111 Member Posts: 114
    Looks French... Peugeot ?
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    Yup, but I don't know the model
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    Citroen Ami (6?) from the late 60s. Dogs bark at those.

    >Dogs bark at those

    Why?
    This pictured car is mine actually.
    They share their underpinnings with the 2CV

    The Engine is the same Flat-2 Cylinder with air cooling. A real fun to drive. Top speed around 120 Km/h or 75 Mph

    Yes it is a Citroen Ami. Any more precise idea?

    Abarth

    Yes, specifically a Simca Abarth 2000 from the mid-60s, one of a number of rear-engined Zagato-bodied specials based on Simca or Fiat Mechanicals.

    If you look carefully it says "SIMCA ABARTH" on the side. ;)

    6023 is a second Gen RX-7 (late 80's-early 90's
    IIRC). It apes the styling of the Porsche 944, just as the Gen I copied (loosely the 924.

    Close, it's a 1951 Studebaker Regal Commander. But who can tell the difference anyway with that Easter egg paint job.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    Dogs bark because of its looks. I guess it isn't so ugly as it is really freaky, but it kind of burns your retinas no less. That French 60s modernism is just odd. But hey, your "break" or whatever the official name would be is easier on the eyes than the sedan!

    I am sure it sounds kind of cool too.

    DS something?

    Oh man, this really puts a new definition to ugly. JM :lemon:
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    Oh, that's an Ami sedan...the freakshow version of the wagon posted earlier by vchiu. I was just showing why I think the looks are...well, questionable.

    DS's are very cool, the weirdness works there.

    I don't want to hear anyone comment on the Aztek and its looks again. This takes the cake!

  • johno111johno111 Member Posts: 114
    I would have to agree with you on that one, but I would say that in defense of the Aztek that the inside of the Aztek is pretty nice and roomy. But you still have to sneek up on it. :D

    You could say the same thing about the Ami, or any small Citroen, thery're famous for their smooth ride on lousy French farm roads and their spacious interiors considering the small overall size.

    I'm going to go with about a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am. :)

    Looks like some sort of Fiat from the late 50's that goes by the cc's of the engine. I'll guess maybe an 850.
  • ubbermotorubbermotor Member Posts: 307
    Close, its a '74 Grand Am, but if you can tell the diff. your better than I am.

    Just for the record, the "Can Am" package came a little later and included a wheels, graphics, "shaker" and a 6.6 V-8.

    Well that's a good guess because it is sort of a Fiat. It's an Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet from 1960-'62. Autobianchi was a consortium of Fiat and Pirelli formed in 1957.

    The Bianchinas featured little 500 cc/ 15HP mouse motors that make the 850 seem like a big-block by comparison. :surprise:

    I can recall seeing a few of these back in the day.

    It's an Italian Shifty-mobile.

    And I hope I didn't offend the guy with the Ami earlier...

    Looks like a very early Aston, but not one I would know. The grill reminds me of a Morgan.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    It's indeed a custom bodied Morgan, I recall seeing it in a British mag. I can't remember the builder though, Ghia or Frua or something maybe
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    I don't know the coachbuilder either. It's a '63-'66 Morgan Plus Four Plus, a limited production model AFAIK, not a one-off custom.

    Wait, what was the answer to #6042?

    andy, 6049 is some 50's Cadillac, possibly a Deville?
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,781
    the blue 2-dor sedan is an AMC Hornet, probably about a 1970

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,638
    I wasn't aware of the Morgan. I tried to google it before you revealed the model name, but couldn't find it. But I remembered the marque!

    The big Caddy is a 54 or a 55, I can't tell the model.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    The original P4 Rover with the centre spotlight was nicknamed "Cyclops" but was sold as the 75, and eventually, about 1953, they replaced the grille with a conventional one, but it was still the 75 for a while longer, although the 90, and later a load of others which looked similar shared the same body shell (60, 80, 95, 100, 105, 110).They phased out the P4 range in a964, by which time it was just the 95 and the 110, I think, but they get confusing....
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Can't find a reply to this one which got missed in the shuffle. Its a Zwickau P70, forerunner of the Trabant, circa 1956 - 59.
    You guys have really dug up some interesting cars in the last few days whie I've been away, - by the way, I liked the Citroen AMI - it's quirky...
    Saw an immaculate DS today - 1967, with the original front - not the faired in headlights of the later models.
  • chuck1959chuck1959 Member Posts: 654
    That looks just like the I had....except in Bronze....1972 Hornet S/C 360. It had the 360 V-8 and could really HAUL ***!!
  • chuck1959chuck1959 Member Posts: 654
    This one is a no brainer! 1973 or 1974 Pontiac Grand Am.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Re the Morgan +4+
    I beleve it wasn't made by an outside coachbuilder, the Morgan factory built these - they made about 25, I think.

    Is the Cadillac a 54 Eldorado ?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Is the Cadillac a 54 Eldorado ?

    That's exactly it. What I'm not sure of is if it was the Eldorado that got the wrap windshield in '54 ahead of the rest of the GM line (the
    C-B-O-Ps got them starting in '55), or was it just the Eldo and of course, the Corvette.

    You're also right about the Zwickau P70, it was also known as the AWZ (Auto Werke Zwikau) P70. In any case it was part of the same Sachesenring group that gave us the Trabis.
