Truffaut's La nuit Americaine (Day for Night)>

1968 Chevy Camaro convert, RS? looks like hidden headlights

andys120

That didn't last long but sorry imcdb sez that's a '67. Looks like an RS to me too (did they have those the first year?).

Who can ID the guy whose face is visible?

kyfdx

I thought the guy on the right was Truffaut? I recognized him from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

andys120

Bingo, Francois Truufaut played a leading role in Day for Night in addition to directing.

kyfdx

It figures... I can't name the cars, but I can identify dead French guys..

No great place for this...
A reporter with a national news magazine is hoping to talk to consumers who drove to Woodstock. If you drove in a VW Microbus with a psychedelic paint job, that would be great too. The reporter will speak to anyone who drove to Woodstock. Please reply to ctalati@edmunds.com no later than Wednesday, March 21, 2007 with your daytime contact info.

Hopefully you can see this one:

Cadillac BLS Estate. We know it as the Saab 9-3.

Looks like a Nissan Maxima wagon to me (1996-00)? Probably a different name for different markets like Nissan Flylady Estate?

bumpy

Almost. It's a second-generation Cefiro wagon, but the Cefiro was just a tarted-up Maxima by then.

andys120

Change the grille on that Cefiro wagon and you've got a Saab
9-5 wagon.

Last call for #9767. Here it is again, if you're too lazy to scroll back>

boomchek

I think someone guessed this already as ther Euro market Caddy BLS.

andys120

that's correct Boomer, like the sedan version, the BLS is essentially a re-badged Saab 9-3, in this case the 9-3 Sport Kombi (aka wagon).

boomchek

I can't take the credit for it , someone else guessed it first (even though I knew what it was too).

Looks really nice, but I guess a Caddy wagon would never fly in North America.

Oh, then how do you explain the SRX?

I did post about the resemblance between the Nissan Cefiro wagon and another Saab wagon but I think you are the first to tag what they call the BLS Estate. Take a bow :shades: .

'67 Ford, I will guess Country Sedan as it isn't a woodie

:confuse: The website I borrowed it from says it's a Country Squire. :confuse: There's a red flash behind the front wheel that indicates a big motor, probably a 390 (did they put 428s in SWs?)

andys120

My bad, Bumpy, you got it right, I missed your post. :sick:

fintail

Maybe someone removed the woodgrain. I think a 428 would have been a highline option then, yeah. Would be very rare to have it, but I bet they made a few.

Mr_Shiftright

Is that a Triumph TR250? Can't see the hood too clearly.

wgrafer

HA! Almost everything... The Buick is definitely a '53!

I almost fooled ya. Look carefully and you see there's no stripe like the one that graced the hood of the '68 TR-250. That of course means it's a Triumph TR-5 PI
(Petrol Injection).

Mr_Shiftright

OH COME ON! That's no fair.

Foul! Foul! :mad: :mad:

it's the same darn car except for the F.I.

1941 Oldsmobile?

andys120

I'm sure it looks like a '41 Olds but one of the ground rules of this forum is that we post only cars that were new after the end of WW II. Take another guess.

lemko

That's a 1946-47 Oldsmobile. Basically the same as the 1942 Olds with a much less busier grille. I believe 1948 was the first year for the much more modern "Futuramic" Olds.

bumpy

How did the doors open without crushing the fender bulge?

1992-96 Prelude?

ateixeira

I had a strong dislike for that dash. Did they hire 1980s GM designers for that one? :mad:

Well this is really confusing :confuse:

If you Google 1948 Oldsmobile you get pictures that look like this one from a aaa.org>



Then you get>


This next however looks definitive as it has the year 1948 on it and appears to show a more 1942-ish style that the b&w of the Futuramic convertible above>

4th-gen 'lude it is, wacky dash and all.

1970's J car? The Citation and it's siblings

fintail

Olds Firenza or one of its siblings?

andys120

Weren't the 70s Citation/Phoenix/Skylark etc. known as X-cars?

I can't remember what they called the Olds version.

kyfdx

That's what I was thinking... X-cars..
