That's a Fox, made and sold in Brazil, among other places.

The Gol is even cheaper there, though:



They even make a sub-1000cc model for Brazil's popular Mille segment.

Is the Gol sold outside of Brazil, I don't think they have it in Europe?

I think it's only made in Brazil.

VW do Brasil had to fight the parent company to go out on their own (one last time, supposedly). It's sold in most of South American, but I don't think it made it to Europe as a regular production car.

Is that a really old Celica, from the mid 70s?

Saw a pic of a rally car that looked sort of like that.

Toyota Cressida 1977/80 - at least thats when they sold it here....

michaellno

I saw one on the highway here in Denver a year or two ago. Tiny thing with Mexican plates.

ateixeira

Cressida, really?

That car looks tiny. Funny how much Toyota cars have grown. That was their flagship back then, so it would be the rough equivalent of an Avalon today, which is twice as big! :surprise:

bumpy

Yep, it's a Cressida, and not quite as tiny as it might look in that picture.

andys120

I have never seen a 2-door Cressida before.

andys120

Can you beat him to it?

Ginetta G32, circa 1990

magnette

I've never seen a 2-door Cressida before either - we only got the 4-door. I still see one every couple of weeks, in everyday use, a couple of miles from here, but it's the only one I've seen for years.

Hee hee, that looks like a Fiero kit car. There are so many of those, that's what I was thinking!

andys120

It does look like a Fiero kit but Ginettas have the reputation of being first class little sports cars, something no one ever accused a Fiero of. :P

French Ford Vedette - one of the later ones, they changed the design in late 1951. The red car is probably a Renault Caravelle and there are two Citroens (DS/ID and Traction Avant 11/15CV) while I think the light in the r/hand corner of the picture may be a Peugeot 404.

imidazol97

The car has lines of a ?Nash? model. I knew it wasn't, but there's a familiarity in the front fenders and roof C and rear.

magnette

I used to know someone who had a couple of Ginettas, including aG32, andthey were great cars.

andys120

Yep, the Vedette is a '54.

andys120

From White Heat (1949)

urnews

The "frenched" headlights remind me of a 1949 or '50 Lincoln.

andys120

Yep it's a 1949 Lincoln Sport Sedan, don't laugh "Sport Sedan" was apparently the model name for the low-end Lincoln 4-door in the early 50s.

Sport Sedans usually corner a little flatter than that.

This still is from a new TV ad:

Subaru Leone?

Audi R8

Yep.

1970 Subaru Star

andys120

The alloys on this car have been replaced by those from a more recent model>

oregonboy

Yep, the Subaru Star. Well received by the automotive press, it was a decent car for a second effort. It even had the (now) trademark 4-cyl "boxer" engine, although it was a front-driver (not AWD).

911 Turbo.. Circa '84-'87?

Those look like Boxster wheels... they look out of place on that car..

Mr_Shiftright

nasty color, too----ugh! "Hey, baby, wanna ride in my mauve Porsche?"

bumpy

jbollt

right hand drive, side mirors at the front of the fenders..hmmm...must be Japanese Domestic market.... almost looks Lincoln like on the front grill and headlights..I doubt it is Nissan or Toyota....can't be Honda...what does that leave? Mitsubishi? no idea as to model if I am even close on mfgr.

andys120

Hyundai Equus?

andys120

Yep, that's an '89 911/930 Turbo. I think the alloys are from a ca. 2002 Porche 911/996.

andys120

to a dealer near you>

Ford Focus SVT?

boomchek

I think that's the new Subaru Impreza WRX.

Looks kinda watered down like some kind of a Kia or something.

bumpy

I'll give you credit for that. It's actually a Mitsubishi Dignity. Mitsu built 59 of them in 1999-2001 before their corporate troubles killed it. Hyundai built a clone as the Equus.

andys120

the new Subaru Impreza WRX.

Yep, it does resemble the current Kia Rio.

andys120

I saw a similar car recently, in much better shape:

stickguy

Plymouth Valiant, a '65?

OK, they probably had a different name for it back then. Oh, and I would prefer the '69 Camaro in the background.

andys120

You're close, it's a '66 Valiant Signet.

No takers on the silver wagon? It's not even that obscure....going ...going....

Mr_Shiftright

arghh...okay...we know it's an Alfa...we know it's what they call in Italy a 'sport wagon' (or so I presume) and now we have to guess which one of the myriad confusing series....I'll take a stab at a 156 Sport Wagon and I'm probably wrong.
