If you look closely at the bottom, the text reads "distinctively Canadian in every line." Hmm. I wonder what the word "distinctively" means in Canadian? :confuse:

That's odd, the only text I can see reads "Frontenac 4-do(or)", how come you can see the rest of the line which does read "distinctively Canadian in every line." on the original? :confuse:

It depend on where on your screen the picture opens, If it is next to the ads under the forum tools it will get cut off, but if it is lower on the screen you can see the whole picture.
You are nearly there, as it is a Victor FD derivative - it's a Ventora (actually a Ventora II, but the only external difference is a badge on the back). This was a Victor FD but instead of the 2000 engine it had the 3300cc straight six as in the Cresta PC. Although that was a heavy engine it made it a respectable performer by contemporary standards. This one is late 1971.
Nope, it's a 275GTS, not to be confused with the 275GTB/4 N.A.R.T. Spider a limited edition commissioned by U.S. Ferrari Importer, Luigi Chinetti, it was essentially a 275 GTB/4 with the roof removed. link
I won't dispute your ID of the 275GTS, Andy. But FYI there definitely was a 330GTS, essentially a spider version of the 330GTC. Motorbase claims there were 100 made. Here's a pic of the 330GTS, with a grey 330GTC just behind it: It's rather odd that the nose of the 330GTS more closely resembles that of a 275GTB than the 275GTS does. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some variations in bodywork, as that was fairly common with Ferraris until the late 1960s.
I can definitely see the comparison to, say, a 69 Charger, especially with the flush rear window a la Daytona. But consider this Corvair:
alongside the Rekord:
and the Vega:
It looks like a lot of folks in the late '60s were feeding off each other's designs. Anyone know if Bill Mitchell (who did the '65 Corvair, and then the Vega and the '70-1/2 Camaro) might have worked on the Rekord/Commodore?
Not sure about the green one, but the orange one is a early 70s Honda Z600, and the one beside that is a Honda N series, either N360, N600, or N800, from around late 60s to early 70s.

Our mystery bugger is a Nissan Sentra Sport Coupe, sold in the US for a few years in the late '80s.
Nissan also offered a more mundane 3-door hatch, and the 5-door hatchy wagon that was sold as the Sunny California in other markets.

AFAIK there was no 330GTS.

And so it is--an Opel Rekord C 1900S
To me this rear view is the most GM-looking angle. The front view looks more like a '68-69 Ford Torino than anything from GM.

And though the grillwork resembles a Honda Civic to some extent, it's just too wacky to be a Honda.
It looks a little like a first-generation Daihatsu Charade, but it's too overstyled and I think a bit too old to be one of those.
