'71 Charger R/T?

'71 Challenger? Or whatever the Plymouth version was.

kyfdx

Duh... yeah... Challenger...

It isn't a 'Cuda, I don't think..

Chrysler New Yorker. 89ish?

Yet another K-car.

"Too square, too narrow, with buyers too old to notice."

I believe that was the way one Chrysler exec summed it up.

Clone of a '95 Maxima, but I can't tell you which one.

Wasn't the 348 available in 61 too? Or was it replaced by the 409 then?

That bubbletop survived well for it being a 70s shot, nice looking car.

The motors for 1961 were 6-cyl, 283 two barrel, 283 four barrel, 348 four barrel, and 348 with 3 two barrel carbs. No mention of larger blocks. Choice of 5 transmissions.

Chevy big block

No mention of larger blocks. Choice of 5 transmissions.

Column-mount 3-speed, floor-mount 4-speed, Powerglide 2-speed auto, Hydramatic 4-speed auto. What was the fifth? The bolt-on auxiliary overdrive?

Edit: this thing says the 409 was a midyear intro. And how pitiful is it that a Saturn Aura weighs almost as much as an old full-size big-block car?

bumpy

Yep, basically a previous-generation clone of the late '90s Nissan Cefiro which was a tarted up late '90s Maxima. We did get that Cefiro as the Infiniti I30.

Close enough, it's a '93 Fifth Avenue.

I don't know about the other two trannys - but there was no four speed hydro available on the chevy. The variable stator two speed Turbo Glide may still have been available in '61?

imidazol97

Transmissions were 3-speed, overdrive, 4-speed, Powerglide, and Turboglide (3-speed).

Thought you might need some help w this one.

That's the Hawk - a fictional car - I remember this car with some facination from the 70's TV mini-series "Wheels" from Aurther Haily's novel - If I recall the story took place in the mid-sixties and this car was supposed to pull the fledgling car company out - by producing a futuristic model. It was pretty cool looking at the time...

Yes. Arthur Hailey's "Wheels" is a good book and I wish I could see that movie again. I'm really waiting for someone to discover it in some network's vault and release it on DVD. I spent 10 years looking for this magazine (it's from TV Guide in 1978).

I thought the Hawk was cool in 1978...and I think it's cool now.

I had a feeling #13932 was gonna be a stumper. Maybe Magnette can solve this one (you can probably guess it's British) so I'll leave it up for a bit.

It's a Jensen 541r

Close, it's an earlier Jensen 541, ca. 1953 with a milder version of the Austin 6 than the 541R.
Various versions of the 541 were produced between 1953 and 1962. I have no idea why the grille was blanked off. :confuse:

Only (modern) Lancia could make a car like that.

It's the Lancia Thesis.

Arrange in chronological order using the letter for each picture:

G-'55
E-'56

A-'58
C-'59
D-'60
B-'61
F&K-both '62
H-'63

I doubt I could do as well with any other brand as Chevies of that era.

58 Dodge?

imidazol97

Thanks for arranging them.

I had this planned as I clicked taillights of cars at shows this summer. Then the Cadillac post where I was busy out of town and didn't have time to look up those rear fins and lights reminded me I had this group.

How do I downsize pictures when posting using the Img button. I used to be able to do height=300 width=500 using the right proportion sizes for the numbers and shrink pictures.

Nope, it's a 1961 Dodge Power Wagon.

I drove one of those suckers from San Francisco to Guatemala and back. Worked great, too. I think we had one problem--alternator, which some wizard wired back up in a little grass shack somewhere.

Anyone got a clue re: 13953, here it is again>

Mr_Shiftright

Ver-y obscure. It may be a UK-built fiberglas remake of the Citroen 2CV; I have heard of a coupe, built in Slough England (the Citroen plant there) but never saw a Bijou cabriolet. This must be a one-off?
