    Really if someone would give me (since I can't swing one on my own!) a nice XK150 coupe (FHC) I would be a real happy camper. So start pooling your spare change for me :P
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    that owned an '59 XK-150 FHC, nice car but it was spoiled by having an A/T.
    He made up for it by making his next car a '67 E-Type 4.2 also a FHC and the best car I ever drove, it was a four speed.

    I see, by the way I was honest with my last few responses. Just though I'd give you a heads up. :shades:

    ...a Studebaker Lark? Not sure of the year, however.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    It is a Lark, who wants to guess the year. Look at the rear fenders.

    looks like a 58 or 59 AC Ace

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    I think it's a '56 (Ace-Bristol) :P . Dang, I was hoping someone would think it was a Cobra.

    judging by the grill, looks like a BMW. even resembles the older 300 series (neighbor has an older 325, you know, the small boxy one)

    You have the right make Brian but you're off on the vintage. It is not an E30 / 3 series.

    Close, it's a 1500 from the early 60s, IIRC the 1500 was the first of the Neue Classe BMWs so as much as any one model it's the car that put BMW on the path to becoming a mass market carmaker instead of going the way of Borgward and Messerschmitt.

    Facel Vega Excellence, circa 1958.

    http://www.sportscarmarket.com/profiles/1999/September/Etceterini/

    I suspected it was a Facel Vega, after counting the letters on the rear deck. Did a Google seach, and lo and behold...

    Slick, I was hoping you'd think it was a '57 Imperial :P
    It used the same Chrysler Hemi.

    That is an MG or an Austin Healy

    My first reaction was an MGA, but the rear fenders seem a little too swoopy for that, which kind of makes me think earlier, and Austin Healy.. mid-late '50s?

    Maybe first impressions are best?

    ...but that sure does look like an MGA.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 267,518
    I think you are right, seminole.. A friend of mine has a '61 MGA, and I just thought it was a little too easy... I'm going with MGA.

    Innocenti, kind of a Fiat-based Mini I think
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    AFAIK Fiat had nothing to do with it. It's Bertone bodywork over license-built Mini mechanicals and chassis AKA Innocenti Mini,

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,517
    eh well it kinda looks like a Fiat influence
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    It's one of those rare cases where Italian design was inferior to the original.

    way to easy, a Renault Fuego. Use to see many around town. Remember, I live in a former AMC town :P

    a '67?

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

  • seminole_kevseminole_kev Member Posts: 1,696
    that was my immediate thought. Although I don't remember if a '68 would look pretty much the same or not. (Guessing it would from the Mustang line, but I don't remember.)
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    Tailights and grille are just slightly different than a '67. I was one today that looked much like the pictured car but I couldn't tell if it was a '68 or '69.

    Yes it's a postwar car and no it's not a kit.

    It is much worse for the wear of sitting in the weather for a while but still looks usable.

    Sorry about hosing the screen size, thought i had the size scaled down but I was wrong!
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    It's a J2X and I'm sure details like hood scoops and air inlets varied from car to car
    to suit the needs of different powerplants. MrWhipple your car looks like a Healey but the grille is all wrong so I'll taske a stab and say it's some sort of Jensen.

    It's a Series 3 Excalibur from 1978 with a 454 Chevy.

    ...an early postwar Mercedes. Perhaps a 1947 170.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,672
    Take another look Lemko, that's no 170. You're off on the year as well.

    220, c.1953, the model lasted but a couple years before the ponton replaced it
