    Messerschmidt?

    I think I saw this on a show recently (probably my classic car). For whatever reason, they made a small number of these 4 wheeler varients.

    2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.

    Honda S500, or at least that's what it sez on the front plate. ;) :P

    Is that a scale model?

    Yes Honda S500, I noticed the plate after I posted it. I'm not sure if that's a real car or a scale model. Looks like a model now that I look at it some more.

    Dodge Daytona or the Plymouth version Laser 80 something, wanted to buy one of these back then but ended up with a Pontiac Fiero. What a mistake that one was....

    Oh great!..thanks for reminding me of my disasterous Fiero! :( Yeah it kind of hurts sometimes when we look back at our car purchasing decsions huh?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    I think the Laser was badged as a Chrysler, not a Plymouth.

    1969 Plymouth Sport Suburban.
  • chuck1959chuck1959 Member Posts: 654
    It was both a Chrysler AND a Plymouth. Plymouth Laser 1990-1995, also a Dodge and Mitsu at the same time. At a loss for those 2 model names.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Close enough, the wagon is a '69 Sport Fury.

    Daewoo-designed Chevrolet Captiva. Instead of this, we get the butt-ugly Equinox (and Torrent and Vue).
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Looks a lot like the Caliber...

    Toyota Crown, basically the Japanese version of a Town Car. The Crown was always at the very back edge of styling trends, so this one is probably an '88 or something.
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    Looks like a shrunken version of a 1974 Plymouth or Dodge.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    You're off by a decade, it's a '79. :P

    Lancia Lybra - current I think ( we don't get Lancia in UK at present)
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    Your Messerschmitt is the rare version, the TG 500, originally marketed as the Tiger, from 1957. It had four wheels etc to cope with the extra power, 494cc, hydraulic brakes, 4speed plus reverse gearbox, and it was good for about 90mph, which must have been interesting. This one is the convertible, but they also made the more usual perspex canopy version too.
    Although the three wheeler was popular in Britain, there were tax concessions which didn't apply to the four wheeler, so it was too expensive for us...Also you could drive a three wheeler on a motor bike licence so three wheelers generally were popular in UK in the 50's to bikers looking for their first car - hence Reliant, Bond, and all the bubble cars sold well here.
    The other cars in these shots look good, too - the green one is a Daf 33, and the yellow is some form of Isetta, I think.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    We had the Crown in UK, although this version was not as popular as the earlier one from 71-74, and they restyled in late 79, so this one is from the first half of the year - its a 2600, while the 79/83 version had square lights and was badged 2800 . They must have sold in Oz and NZ too, this one is registered in the latter....
    I think the estate car was always more popular here than the saloon, but UK was traditionally the biggest market in Europe for estates in those days.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    The Borgward Isabella was popular here, but these examples all have South African plates, not Uk ones....
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,237
    The Plymouth is a 54 Belvedere hardtop, and I must be one of the other four people you refer to, although I've never actually seen one of these - only in photos.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yup, it's the 2006 Lancia Lybra.

    Well actually if that vehicle makes production, that is a bright spot. I wish I could see the grill to further make a conclusion. :)

    Go to the main GM website and click on the Germany site they have some really nice front end photos. I don't think well see it here in the US unless this is the what we will see as the XL version of the Suzuki.

    okay thanx

    In a strange way, the design reminds me of a 1980s Ford Tempo. In a bad way. Those pillars are so thick.

    That design just looks very dated.

    I see the resemblance to a Contour, not a Tempo.

    Lancia is on it's last legs, Juice, the Lybra is probably part of the last generation of Lancias. :cry:

    Olds F85 1962 or 1963. Can't figure out the model.

    2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yep, it's the '62 Jetfire Turbo coupe. Lots of people don't know that GM had Turbos for street cars a decade and a half before Porsche or Saab.

    IIRC the Corvair Monza Turbos were introduced in '62 as well.

    Ah yes, the Mazda Millenia S with the miller cycle V6. 200+hp out of a small 2.3L IIRC. Judging by the older Mazda emblem, it's a '95 or '96 or '97.

    I can make out that it's a Volvo from the front lettering, no idea what model it is. Certainly not a '53 Plymouth ;)

    Volvo 122/Amazon (and looks to be a nice example), looks like a Vauxhall Cresta from the early 60s to the left - I am sure magnette knows all the details.

    I guess no one's going to try to guess my little GT. It's a Fiat 1500GT Ghia ca. 1962.

    Bah, that's easy. Hyundai Coupe (aka Tiburon/Tuscani). It will be the oldest car in Hyundai's US lineup once the new Elantra arrives.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yeah, It's a Tuscani, I was hoping to trip up someone into saying it was a Tiburon. ;)

    Looks like a VW Squareback and an Alfa had a kid, ca. 1964.

    somehow, I like it
