Isuzu Axiom?

(goes to look)

Yep. Axiom it is, though this one has some extra Volvoesque lamps up on the D-pillar.

ohuggy

Its a Chinaxiom! Great Wall Hoover or something

Just a guess..a '65 Pugeot?

fintail

Peugeot 404

andys120

Right, JBolt is right too.

I wouldn't have guessed the Isuzu, I must admit - but the grey one at the end may not be badged as a Lexus if this is taken in Europe. In UK we don't get that model - GX470 - except as a grey import - or the LX 470 either. Here, the grey car is more likely to be a Toyota Land Cruiser, while the bigger LX470 is sold as the Land Cruiser 100. I believe some Euro markets do get the Lexus versions, though, so it might be either - the licence plate surround looks Lexus, but for some markets the external wheel is optional, so I think Toyota use that tail there.

Pretty ugly. Frightening, actually.

Like they took a design from the 70s and tried to bring it in to the 90s. For that reason I'll guess it's from Eastern Europe.

andys120

Pretty drab, looks Russian,or possibly Chinese.

Volga? Hong Qui? :confuse:

boomchek

It's the same old Volga that's been selling in Russia since the 70's but with a restyled front end.

Perhaps no one wants to take a shot @ my ersatz "Ferrari"
#7849 but if you do here's another shot>



This 1952 model was styled by Vignale, closely resembling the Ferraris he did in that era...anyone?

an OSCA?

an OSCA?

Good guess, that does look like an OSCA grille but not it is not an OSCA, it's not even Italian (except for the body).

Cunningham C3 Continental (1953)

Cunningham C3 Continental (1953)

Yep, it's a '52.

Now for something more prosaic>

gsemike

It's an AMC wagon... late 60s? Was it called a Rambler?

stickguy

Ambassador?

Looks pretty good with the raised whites and styled wheels. Might make a pretty good hot rod!

lemko

That car is a Rambler American wagon, probably a 1967 model. I don't see any side marker lights which would make it a 1968 model.

andys120

Yep, it's a '69 Rambler 440, one of a couple of thousand supplied with the V8.

The wheels aren't OEM, they came from a Rebel or something.

Here's another from the '60s>

fintail

Lincoln Continental, maybe a 63?

andys120

Close, it's a '64.

Another from the golden age>

That rather odd looking beast is a Jensen. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a precursor to the Interceptor. Had a V-8 in it; Chrysler job if I remember, probably a 361.

andys120

Jensen it is, a '63 C-V8 Mk II, the earlier MkIs had the Chrysler 361 under the hood but the Mk II sported a 383.

It was indeed succeeded by the Interceptor.

That one's so obscure I forgot and had to look it up. It's the newest from China, a 2008(?) Zhonghua M3.

fintail

Looks like a Tiburon and a TSX had a baby. Shameless ripoff styling.

andys120

What are they doing and what's the car?

fintail

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

I don't know who the guys are, but I bet the pic is older than I am.

stickguy

that's the Ferrari Daytona from the canonball run. Let's see, Brock Yates on the right, and someone else?

andys120

Right, that's the Cannonball winning 1970 Daytona 365GTB/4.
The guy on the right is indeed the creator of the Cannonball, Brock Yates of Car & Driver and Wyoming, New York.

Shame on youse for not knowing that the other guy is Yates' co-driver Dan Gurney, the only American to win an F-1 race in a car of his own design (Spa 1967 in a Gurney Eagle). Gurney was one of those multi-talented race drivers that no longer exist. He's won driving stock cars, Trans-Am, Can-Am, Endurance racers and Indy Cars. He still runs All-American Racing, a successful builder of Indy cars.

They don't make them like Dan any more. :shades:

Proof that Sweden isn't all Volvo and Saab - the Konigsegg CC8

Magnette swings and fouls one off.

It's the new Koenigsegg CCX .

1951 Buick

Buick Eight.

andys120

I see three recognizable vehicles in this still. Extra points if you can name the film and the actress.

imidazol97

It's either a Special, Super, or Roadmaster. My guess is the Roadmaster has 4 portholes. So tthe Super or Special are a logical choice. Who knows how to tell the difference.

I think the "Eight" on the grill means it has the Fireball Eight inside the bonnet.

Love the DeLorean just above the hood in the background. I heard he is trying to restart his Auto company..anybody else hear that?

I wouldn't put too much credence in that one Odie, DeLorean
died in March 2005.

Perhaps you have him confused with Mal Bricklin. Although very much alive, his chances of suceeding with a car company are about the same as DeLorean's IMHO.

andre1969

I think that '51 Buick is a Special. It's a 2-door sedan, and I don't think they would have offered a Roadmaster in that style. Possibly not a Super, either. The Super and Roadmaster were also on a longer wheelbase than the Special or Century, and that '51 pictured looks pretty small to me. So I'd guess a Special.

Well, Is that a '67ish Chevelle in the middle? And the small tailfins of a white Peugout? Is the cab a MB Ponton?

no idea on the flick or actress.

The Chevelle is a '65 or '66. The movie (Un Homme et Une Femme/A Man and A Woman) was released in 1966.
Thee tailfins indeed belong to a Puegeot 404, the cab is also a Pug, a 403.

The actress is the lovely Anouk Aimee who co-starred w Jean-Louis Trintignant. It's definitely a romantic chick-flick but JLT plays a race driver and there's a lot of great cars and racing scenes in it. His cousin was F-1 driver Maurice trintignant.

Porsche 356/speedster, I can't discern a year, so something like 1955-1959.

andys120

You're correct, it's a '55 Speedster.

Also a white Fiat 500 coming towards the camera at the left of the shot. This film was a classic, but all I can remember is the theme music....
