    That appears to be a 1954 Lincoln with non-standard/customized headlight bezels.

    I think the Plymouth wagon on the left is a 1960 Custom Suburban

    Saw one of these recently. I'd forgotten how tiny--and cool!--they looked.>

    Caterham! Such a cool car design.... a road-worthy go cart.

    Not a Caterham but the Lotus Seven that the Caterhams replicate.

    a not quite stock Nissan Z car. I assumed a 240 before even reading the license plate!

    That version is known as the Aurelia Spider America. Earlier versions did not have the wraparound windshieldwidely used on American cars of the 50s.

    Then why is the title different?

    I can find no images of a B24 Spider not equipped with a wraparound windshield. That picture is from the official FCA Heritage site and does not discuss the America.

    There is sparse info online regarding the America variant and what differentiates it from a regular B24.

    Jay Leno's 1958 Aurelia Spider doesn't have the wraparound glass.

    Jay’s video about his Lancia, a 1958, is full of more contradictions. He says the Spider such as the one originally pictured here had wraparound windshields, while his which is apparently not a Spider despite not having an integral roof and no wraparound windshield as you noted, is not. He claims it is the America model, in part because it has a full-width front bumper and not the split version as on the red car, a Spider, originally pictured.

    Seattle, 1975 - zooms well enough to pick out a few:

    Bug and a Maverick(?)

    Yes, a bug and a maverick. A comet would have 4 taillights.
    I also see a 72 Torino and downhill I think a Toronado, but that is getting close to being past what can be zoomed

  • Lostwrench3Lostwrench3 Member Posts: 825
    Bug - parked facing up hill - proper front wheel position.
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,472

    I thought Torino and toranado also. Just not a clear view.

    What’s the partly obscured car about to make the right turn behind the Torino? Is that an Audi 80?

    No, it's a 1960s Maserati Mistrial Mistral. Inline 6 under the hood.

    A "friend" of mine had one in '76, brown. After over-imbibing at a party, he used it as a battering ram to smash into the rear of my father's new Saab 99. The entire rear end of the Saab gave its life to save the three passengers. The entire front end of the Capri also appeared to let the drunkard walk away relatively unscathed. No cops in sight (no cell phones, of course).
    As I was told, his insurance totaled the Capri, his father bought it back. Six months later the now much less than "friend" totaled it again in a single car accident. Saab was repaired, but never the same (water leaked into trunk), it was traded for not sure I remember what...

    For my money the best looking version of the Shelby 'Stangs, as well as the best looking Mustang Coupe ever. Anyone want to nail it?

    I'm not sure they used the "KR" (King of the Road) name in '67. Shelby Mustang nomenclature can be pretty confusing.

    That Shelby seems to have at least some mods. The oil pan doesn't look stock, nor do the tires.
    Wood steering wheel.

    Wood steering wheels were on every Shelby Mustang I could find, regardless of year.



    Carroll Shelby would never sell a car that didn't have Goodyear tires, (he was a distributor).
