    The front end looks Datsunish but that logo on the hood looks almost like the aston martin logo.

    Does the third car have round parking lights?
    I can't see a break in the windshield...

    It's a Jensen-Healey "Jensen GT" (late 70s), it is a shooting brake version of the Jensen-Healey roadster. ;)

    Well I can't see it in that blow-up either but I still think it's too rounded to be a '54 and the windsheild's too narrow.

    Alfa Romeo, not sure if that's a 156 or the newer 159. I'll go with 159.

    Gorgeous wagon.

    Gee now where did Mazda get its styling ideas for the Mazda3?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,673
    Yep it's the Alfa 159 Estate/Wagon , let's hope they export that one to the US of A.

    Shifty doesn't the Mazda3 predate the Alfa 159?

    Looks like a Renault...16 up front? I see a Benz fintail but can't see the front end so not sure what type. Looks like a DS19 Citroen, a red Simca (?)...not sure what that is behind the Renault....

    ALFA/MAZDA -- I was just kidding. The two cars look a lot alike.

    of Renault 16s up front? You've missidentified the car behind the Citroen DS, it's not a Simca.

    Still three cars to go, the red not-a-Simca, the white one behind it and the dark sedan in back of the first R16 and next to the bicyclist.

    Couple of Renaults closest, towards the right is maybe a Fiat or NSU, in front of it a Citroen, to the left of it a MB W111 fintail, in front of that a VW bus/transporter
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,522
    Black car next to the bicyclist resembes a Volvo Amazon/122
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 267,541
    The red car looks a little bit like a BMW 2002... but, not quite....

    Maybe a 1964 or 65 1600? Tail lights look wrong, but they don't look like a BMW 700..... :confuse:

    I've seen that red car before. I almost think it has a rear engine because of the black blob over the rear wheels which could be air intake/vents.

    The one to the right of it looks to be a Peugeot (with the hunch back trunk).

    Surely not a Sunbeam Imp.....
  • bhill2bhill2 Member Posts: 2,605
    I'm guessing that it's an NSU (Prinz?)

    Looks like BHill2 is right to me!

    Experts? Younger eyes? :surprise:

  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    That's likely what it is. This car has a very distinctive beltline which loops and overhangs around the car (looks like a bath tub), and the rear vent/intake is in the same place as the red car.

    The bumper is the same, but the tailights on the red car appear to be horizontal, instead of round, maybe a newer year?

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,673
    Yep the red car is indeed an NSU Prinz, the Pug is the saggy butt 504. If it's a diesel it's probably still running.

    The Volvo is definitely not an Amazon (Volvo 122) but a 142 (post Amazon model) starting 1967>

    That's a '70s era GM Motorhome, no idea on the movie but it obviously involves the military. :P

    It's a European Ford, French or German, immediately postwar as it is a prewar design. Looks a size bigger than an "Eifel"
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    Is the woody wagon a Matford ?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,673
    It is 1947 Ford (de France)F472. I don't think the Matford name was used post WWII.

    ATS V8 GT - built 1962/4

    Keerect, aka ATS 2500GTS, all of twelve were made. ATS was made up of defectors from Ferrari including Carlo Chiti, who designed the F-1 Championship "Sharknose" Ferrari 156.

    ATS=Automobili Turismo e Sport. A German wheel maker named ATS also fielded F1 cars for a few years in the 1970s.

    Yup, I recently learned that technically it's a '61 Ford Galaxie Starliner.
