Dodge Stealth, aka Mitsubishi 3000GT

Yep. While mechanically identical the Dodge version was somewhat different from the Mitsu cosmetically.

ateixeira

Sunny? Looks like a Sentra hatch back.

Our stumper is the legendary Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, 2600 pounds of AWD turbocharged hatchback fury. And yes, it shares doors, interior, and some other parts with the B13 Sentra.

Jaguar somethign (Mark IV or V?)

andys120

Dang, you're good Fin. It's a '51 Jag Mk V.

andys120

completely different=>

fintail

Some kind of Andre-mobile...Pontiac Can Am or something

'76 or, more probably, a '77 -- the last year before the GM midsizes got downsized. Some sort of LeMans variant I've never seen before.

andys120

the first and only year for the CA was 1977.

andys120

that these came as wagons=>

lemko

...Plymouth Valiant - note the black headlight bezels. In 1960, the car was simply known as Valiant.

andys120

That car's a 1960, Lemko.

Here's an odd one=>

ateixeira

Cirtoen Xsara Picasso.

My brother owns one in Brazil, it's a funky little van. 5 individual seats, seat back trays for the 2nd row, manual tranny, diesel engine available.

The thing looks like an Egg, though.

michaellno

(well, duh, because of the double chevron emblem on the grille)

It's the companion car to the Renault Scenic, but I cannot remember it's name.

Xsara?

ateixeira

Yes, it competes with the Renault Megane Scenic, at last in Brazil. The Scenic was a huge hit and the Picasso followed.

Now this little car is a hit in Brazil. But I'll let you folks guess since that's the point of this thread.

michaellno

It's a Ford of some sort ... based on the Focus platform, IIRC.

Hmm, a quick look at the Ford UK website leads me to believe that it's the Fusion (might be called something else in Brazil, however).

ateixeira

Actually, that one is Fiesta-based. The thing is tiny, which you can't tell in that picture.

In Brazil it's called the Ford EcoSport. It's the best selling "utilitario" in Brazil now.

fintail

61 Ford Starliner

andys120

but this one's a real looker.

P.S.- Fintail is correct on the '61 Starliner.

fintail

Some kind of Delahaye or Talbot Lago or something

I like the 60 Starliner more

andys120

I like the 60 Starliner more

There's no accounting for taste :P. It's a 1948 Talbot Lago T26, don't know the coachbuilder but most likely Chapron or Saoutchik. Actually I was hoping I'd fool someone into thinking it was a Jag XK-120

andys120

How about from inside?

Mr_Shiftright

Oh I've been under those dashboards enough--LOL!

fintail

LOL I meant I like the 60 Starliner over the 61, not over the Talbot.

The dash is a Fiat or Alfa or something

andys120

The dash is a Fiat or Alfa or something

I was looking for something a little more precise :P .

boomchek

Alfa Spyder Veloce, probably mid 70's vintage.

ateixeira

Didn't those have the shifter up high in the dash, growing out like a weed?

Or was that later model years?

-juice

andys120

You have the correct vintage and brand but that dash belongs to a '74 2000GTV
Coupe. The shifter is mounted relatively high in the dash supposedly because there's little or no linkage, the shift lever coming right out of the gearbox.

andys120

Can you name 'em?=>

Top: '55 Oldsmobile Holiday Coupe
Bottom: '64 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 (?)

In the '60's, Olds put about a million different names in front of "88." There was a Jetstar 88, a Dynamic 88, a Delta 88, a Delmont 88 and maybe 84 others.

andys120

You're just a little off.

The two-tone is a '54 Olds 88 and the blue car is a '63 Olds Starfire, distinguished by the satin silver stripe running down it's side.

andys120

boomchek

Easy, a Porsche 924, 1983 vintage?

andys120

Not so easy, it's an '87 924S, which didn't use the Audi engine but used the Porsche 944 engine. In fact it was a 944 essentially, with the same suspension, interior etc, The cosmetic tip off is the telephone-dial 928 style wheels.

andys120

bumpy

Euro plates make it a Toyota Yaris, also sold in Japan as the Vitz, and Canada and Australia as the Echo. The US Echo was a hackjob on this to get rid of the hatchback.

Keerect Bumpy.

Try this one=>

Pontiac 6000. IIRC they actually had some AWD versions of these.

-Brian

bumpy

GM must have sold a million of the Celebrity and its clones a year back in the 80s, because I still see those dumb things all the time. Sadly, they seem to be better and more durable than the Luminas and Corsicas that were supposed to replace them.

fintail

That 6000 is probably an 87-88 due to the composite lights and 3rd rear brake light.

The Ciera we had back in the day wasn't exactly a marvel of high quality design

andys120

Yep there was an AWD Poncho 6000, it was somewhat popular here in New England.

subearu

Who will be the first to post a pic of the T1000? :P

bumpy

Remember, you asked for it...



Another number car:

andys120

lancerfixer

I have no idea what the model numbers are, but I'm fairly certain the sedan is a rebadged Civic.

andys120

It's kind of confusin Lancer but the sedan is a '98 Rover 400, it's based on the Honda Concerto which in turn is based on the late 90's Civic by way of the Honda Domani.

The little rounded one's a Rover 200, based on the Honda Ballade which was based on the 1980 Civic. Got all that ? :confuse: :sick:
