    Volvo V90, a sort of updated 960, circa 1997, and I think the alloys make it a special edition - in UK this was sold ( I think) as 960 Celebration.

    I don't think we ever got a V90 here, that sucker was sold here as the 960.

    Infiniti M30 (aka Nissan Leopard), circa 1990. Basically a spiffier 2-door RWD version of the contemporary Maxima. Infiniti pretty much lived on G20 sales in those days, so they're an uncommon sight.

    Buick Skyhawk?

    The Infiniti M30 was also available as a ragtop...

    And if that wasn't a shameful enough rebadge...

    Aah the Pontiac LeMans (nee 1984 Opel Kadett, with many other versions - ie. Daewoo Nexia - as the design worked its way down the food chain), ca. 1988.

    Back in the day my dad and a good friend entered a contest where a blue one just like that was the grand prize. My dad's friend won! My dad won a washer...he made out better than his friend.

    I thought it was made by Kia?
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,639
    The Kia-built rebadge was the Ford Festiva (aka Mazda 121)
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,782
    nope, that was a Daewoo.

    The Volvo did change nomenclature for the last year. I know the sedan changed to the S90, and I believe the wagon did too. I think it was just for '97, the last year we got it.

    Opel did not exist in Brazil, so that model was badged a Chevrolet Kadett in that market. My brother owned one. 1.8l gas engine, pretty slow and really not a very good car.

    I say FOrd (OK, I got that from the file name). Other than that, it is probably the single ugliest car I have ever seen.

    Ding Ding! Winner.

    A co-worker had a picture up in her cubicle, I asked if I could scan it in and print it. She took the photo while visiting Europe, also snapped a Smart ForTwo (too easy for this group).

    She does not know the year, I'm guessing 70s? We don't know about that.

    Those headlights are so unique, aren't they? Very characteristic.

    OK, I'm beat. Someone else's turn.

    Ford Corsair. A rebadged Australian-made Nissan Pintara, sold under the "Button Plan" (something to do with... oh, I don't know, but it involved a lot of gratuitous rebadging)

    The Pintara was just an Aussie-fied version of your Nissan Stanza. However, it was unreliable and bland and pretty much single-handedly took down Nissan Australia. After that, all Nissans were imported.

    The Pintara and Corsair also had a Oceania-only "SuperHatch" version. This fugly hatch/wagon hybrid.. thing (ahead of its time? yeah, like the Aztek was...)

    I suppose that one was easy for me though... being Australian and all. :P

    Mitsubishi Lancer SportBack.

    Oh, and I'm not competitive. In fact, I'm probably the least competitive person I know. So I win. :P (Yes, I shamelessly pilfered that line from a show... can you guess which one?)

    but I'm guessing it's not "Harry's Practice".

    The Citroen AMI 6 in your photo has double headlights, which appears to be a modification, as the original generally had oblong single lights. I always thought the AMI was quirky rather than ugly.....
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    #6609 is an old Datsun pickup, ca. mid-1960s. IIRC Datsun had the earliest imported pickups in the US.

    Looks bigger to an early 60's Ford pickup?
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,639
    Yeah that looks to be a 61-66 Ford pickup
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    What about the Austin A40 etc, that we had last week - wasn't that exported to US as a pickup? Or did all the utes go to Ozz?
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,639
    I believe it was exported, yes. The one I saw (that encouraged me to post the pic) was LHD. I know the normal A40/Devon was exported here, with "Austin of England" badging.

    Bumpy - I have an idea! It's a 61 or 62 or 63 Ford F100 long bed! I don't believe there was any noticeable differences between the 3 years, so I acn't pin it down any closer. I hope you know!!
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    a 1961 Ford shortbed unibody.

    For a few years in the early '60s, you could get the bed and cab as one piece. In practice, this didn't work out so well as repairing a damaged bed was much more difficult that just replacing it, and sometimes the body and frame would get out of alignment and pinch the cab doors shut.

    Nobody wants to take a crack at the Skyline?
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    R32 GT-R.

    My fave. The later models aren't as cleanly designed.

  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    I figured that much would be obvious. Anyway, the Skyline in question was declared the winner of the 1992 Bathurst 1000 (think of it as a sort of Australian analog to the Daytona 500) after it wrecked twice in a blinding rainstorm that redflagged the race. This decision was greeted with a massive chorus of boos from the locals, who were tired of seeing Japanese turbo cars kick the crud out of their favorites. One of the drivers responded by referring to the crowd as something that almost rhymes with "marse voles". This debacle precipitated the Aussies to rewrite the rules to effectively outlaw the Skyline from competition in 1993 and eventually led to the creation of the current V8 Supercar series, where Holden and Ford can slug it out by themselves.

    Not just any Bentley Continental - Elton John's 1985 Bentley
    Any takers? :P

    What a dirty trick! LOL Considering that it was from a story on this site!! Elton John's Bentley goes under the hammer!!

    1985 Bentley is right. I'd get it if I had the money.
