Mid 1990s Ford Thunderbird. Gonna say 1994.

It might be a Super Coupe with the Supercharged 3.8 liter V6 but I can't tell from this angle.

Super Coupes had a large and low front spoiler.

It's a '92 T-Bird LX/5.0.

'91 (?) T-bird Super Coupe..

I rented one of these (with the V8) back in the days for a long trip. super comfy on the highway, good handling, loads of torque. Can lay loooonng rubber strips. Gas mileage was dismal, but who cares?

Well, it's probably French - Delahaye 135 - coachwork by Touring ?

Good guess, I figured it'd be mistaken for a Bristol but it is indeed French, a 1948-49 Delage D6. These were actually made by Delahaye since Delage went out of car production but a deal was struck to sell the Delage brand to them. Production of both old and storied brands ceased 1n '53 or '54.

Does this look familiar?

Triumph TR4/4A/5/TR250 - most likely a TR4

andys120

You have sharp eyes my friend, it is a TR-4. My TR-4A came with similar wheels that were painted off-white. I repainted them silver which sharpened up the look of the car.

What I want to know is how come every car you see in a movie still is always freshly cleaned and waxed?

ateixeira

It's Hollywood, baby!

I see a couple of '53 Caddys.

Honda Quint (Integra)

The Cadillacs look like 1952-53 models. The black Cadillac is a Sixty-Special sedan and the reddish car is a Coupe DeVille. The black car next to the red Caddy looks like an early '50s Chevrolet or a low-end Olds or Buick. The black car behind the semi truck appears to be a 1946-48 Chrysler. The car the men are emerging from appears to be a 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air and the lavender abd white car in the lower right hand corner looks like a 1954 Plymouth Belvedere.

andys120

Isn't that black Caddie a '48 or '49?

yeah I think that one in the front is a 48 or 49

Some kind of AWD Skoda Octavia wagon

That's pretty much it.

andys120

Except for the grille it looks just like a Subaru Leone, ca.
late 70s. The wheels are probably Cromodora Al-Steel alloys
very popular during the '70s.

If it was a 70's Subaru, wouldn't it have that WIDE bolt pattern they shared with Peugeots?

Very interesting looking coupe, that's for sure.

Honda Civic (or whatever the JDM equivalent was, as I see it is RHD), 1988-91

andys120

Close, it's the earlier version of the Honda Civic Shuttle, 1984-88, sold in the US as the Civic Wagon IIRC.

karsick

C'mon now :P .... that IS the 1988-1991 version.

The earlier model WagoVan had vertically stacked taillights.

:mad: (LOL) :P

hudsonthedog

The picture before the Honda Civic Wagovan is the Honda Coupe 7, a 1300cc FWD coupe from the early 1970s.

karsick

Honda Coupe 7, huh?

I never knew about it (and my first car was its stablemate, the Honda N600, the 2-cylinder POS sold in the US).

Cool trivia.

Are you serious, a two-cylinder engine? That must have proved interesting.

bumpy

Technically, the high-output engine (hence the title) makes it a Coupe 9. A thoroughly wacky little car: air-cooled through the block, dry sump, FWD, antipodal swing axles in the back. There was also a very boring-looking sedan version.

a nice writeup on the development process

bumpy

The earliest Honda cars in the late '60s (the N was basically a Mini copy and the S was a tiny roadster) used motorcycle engines and chain drives.

texases

That Honda wagon was the Xb of its day, amazing interior room in such a small package.

1960!!!
Exuberance personified!

Caddy of course...1960?

Right on. Unforgettable.

I remembered there was a British car cruise-in after I saw these three go by.

fintail

Flamboyance, yet it still had some class too. That's not easy to do.

fintail

Looks like a Triumph 2000 ca. 1965 (by the plate) with a Triumph TR-6 in front of it, and a TR-7 to the left (I can't believe a TR-7 is on the freeway i nthe fast lane...or is that a breakdown lane? lol).

imidazol97

I was surprised to see the third one go by trailing the newer two at 65+. I know the first two said Triumph and I was trying to get my kid who was driving to catch up so I could get a picture. I only got one chance at a picture since we were getting off at the exit for a cruise-in.

The camera didn't stop the shake automatically-usually it does pretty well.

imidazol97

1960 is right according to the plates.

hudsonthedog

I'm going to say the Triumph in the left lane is a TR8, not a TR7. And that's a Honda Pilot out front.
