Daimler SP250?

texases · March 30

Yep, a rearview is the best view:

fintail · March 30

SP250 has always made me think "catfish".

Vancouver, some time in the 70s, zooms fine, some variety to be seen:

bhill2 · March 30

Yellow Ford Anglia, and in front of it a 70ish Cadillac Fleetword (model 75 I think).

explorerx4 · March 30

68 or 69 Plymouth Barracuda on the right.

kyfdx · March 30

‘67 Barracuda?

explorerx4 · March 31

The Barracuda has side marker lights.

ab348 · March 31

A '67 Barracuda has no side marker lights. A '68 has Chrysler's 1-year-only round side markers that are the size of a quarter. The '69s have these rectangular ones.

The blue car sticking out on the left, is that a Ford Cortina?

ab348 · March 31

Early/mid-60s iron in San Pedro, CA. I only see a single import.

stickguy · March 31

2 imports. Green bug up front, and middle right a tiny little white with red roof sports car. No clue what that is.

Middle, a white woody Falcon wagon. Far end of that row a gold Rambler American.

explorerx4 · March 31

1960 Ford next to the Bug.
Looking at that Falcon Squire, now we know where Toyota got the idea for their fake hood scoops.
What is that sedan 2 cars in front of the little white car with the red roof?

tmart · March 31

57 Ford wagon , the already mentioned Falcon Squire and 60 Ford.

that is what I thought was the Rambler.

If you mean the gold one, it's a bottom-feeder 64 Rambler Classic.

Because this is in California, I am wondering if that little red over white car is an early Japanese import like this Nissan Fairlady?

fintail · March 31

In Vancouver I don't think the blue car at L is a Cortina - wraparound turn signal doesn't ring that bell. Hornet had a similar detail.

In San Pedro, I see a few '65 models, maybe the year of the image.

Little red and white car makes me think Triumph Herald.

Here’s what I believe is Banff, Alberta (the mountain is a bit of a giveaway), early ‘60s. Look at all those narrow-track Cheviacs!

explorerx4 · April 1

White 1960 Ford in front of the 1959 Buick on the right.
A large camper being towed by a 1961 Ford Country Squire.

stickguy · April 1

a Cruising vessel!

fintail · April 1

Looks like a Stude behind the cruising vessel, and an Envoy/Vauxhall Victor parked on the street beside it.

bhill2 · April 1

In front of the Vauxhall is what appears to be a 56 Ambassador. Near the end of the Nash line.

fintail · April 2

Apparently this store was big in Wisconsin, zooms fine:

stickguy · April 2

that caddy is hideous. and seems to be taking up 2 spots.

explorerx4 · April 2

Green 1969 Ford Galaxie in the lower left.

2? Could be 4.

tmart · April 3

Blue 62 Ford four door

magnette · April 3

@stickguy

There is a chap in my street that parks like that Caddy and takes just as much space - with a Ford Focus!

I've had a lot of trouble getting back onto this Forum as I couldn't sign in - it kept saying I was not registered

That problem should be fixed, now

fintail · April 3

At Prange there's a MB in the upper right, probably a W114/115 but maybe a distorted W108. Just below it maybe a Schwinn Stingray or equivalent.

stickguy · April 3

texases · April 3

With those tail lights it's a Kia Elan

stickguy · April 3

I was sure someone would guess the original Lotus

texases · April 3

I figured it couldn't be that easy. It could even have been a Kia Vigato, the version sold in Japan.

stickguy · April 3

never underestimate how easy I can be.

fintail · April 4

Seattle, location and date are on the pic, zooms enough to ID a few:

explorerx4 · April 4

A couple of Mercury's. 54 on the left and a 57 turning in the foreground.

sda · April 5

Look at that roll as it turns. Must be doing 20 mph, lol.

sda · April 5

I saw this today. The paint was flawless. I spoke with owner and said it had been painted. The interior looked new. Most of the car was original. Period correct wheels.

54 Ford followed by a 52/53 Ford. I think a 51 Ford parked.

Probe. Around 1991?

explorerx4 · April 5

Black car is a 65 Fairlane.

fintail · April 5

Probe is 93-97. Always kind of liked those, and the first gen too.

stickguy · April 5

basically a Mazda 626 underneath so a lot to like!

andys120 · April 5

The Probe is a 1993 Ford Probe GT. Notwithstanding the badge they were all made by Mazda.

We looked at one around 1991; the idiot local dealers usually tacked on around $1k of mop and glow garbage but no car in the Louisville area had the optional ABS. The dimwitted sales guys couldn't even understand why I wanted it.

In Flat Rock, MI, IIRC
