Well, since the Tonka's pretty clear, I'll go ahead and note that #4 is a VW Type 2 Pickup, and #3 is a Morris Minor pickup. I think #1 is a Crosley, and #2 is an early Datsun, but I could be wrong about those.
" #4 is a VW Type 2 Pickup, and #3 is a Morris Minor pickup. I think #1 is a Crosley, and #2 is an early Datsun, but I could be wrong about those."
You're right on all of them except that #3 is an Austin.... but I don't know if there's enough difference between an Austin and a Morris to deduct points from your answer
Yeah! How ANYBODY could call that POS a Buick is beyond me! Blame this one on the Buick dealers, "Oh I wanna subcompact too! Waaa waaa waaa!" Anybody remember its twin POS the Oldsmobile Firenza? The biggest crime of all was calling the Cimmaron a Cadillac!!!! :confuse: :sick: :mad: :lemon:
I don't think that's a real car, it's probably a golf cart with a fiberglass faux car body, note lack of back seat or doors and space for golf bags in rear.
Well, there's a lion on the nose, so it's gotta be some new Peugeot. But it's so shapeless that I can't really get a sense of scale. Is it the replacement for the 1007?
I suppose. But doesn't it look like it has a license plate? And it was parked on the street right along with all the "normal" vehicles.Then again, I certainly don't know Puerto Rico laws with these sorts of things.

I've seen golf carts that have license tags here in AZ, these are usually but not always gas-powered. I'm not sure what laws they operate under, presumably they have to be capable of 35-40mph but not much more and can't use the interstates etc.
It's a 1997 or 1998 McLaren F1. At that time it was one of the fastest production cars in the world.
It has a centrally mounted steering wheel and driver's seat for optimum race car feel and balance, and was available with optional outboard seating for two passengers (one on each side of the driver).
Yep, it's a 1998 model. Although McLaren is now a subsidiary of Daimler-Benz it was not at the time the F1 was designed and a BMW V12 was chosen to power the McLaren supercar, which remained the fastest production car until the introduction of the Bugatti Veyron (2006?).
McLaren is now working on a successor to the F1 which will undoubtedly use a Mercedes/AMG powertrain.
Right Boomchek, it's a 1986 Audi 80 Sport (UK model) sporting non-OEM wheels and I believe non-factory paint (cool color). I can't see enough of the other two to tell if you are right.
Actually I think Chevy and Buick had the best looking designs in '65 and collectors seem to agree. The Chevies and at least some Buicks (Wildcats & Rivieras) seem to draw more collector interest than any of the big Ponchos.
IMO the best-looking Pontiacs of the Mitchell era were the '63s & '64s. '65s seem kinda chubby in comparison.
I always liked Wildcats, but they weren't all that popular in their time. When Buick drivers upgraded in those days it was usually from the LeSabre to the Electra. Performance geared Buick owners seemed more oriented to midsizer Skylarks which were good lookers as well. The Impala SS were always in demand sellers. Maybe that's why the collector interest in those two. The 63 and 64 Riv along with the 66 Toronado were quite the head turners in those days. I liked the 65/66 full sized Pontiacs, but I'll admit they moved closer to Olds and Buick than the prior models, maybe because of the restyle of the LeMans at the lower price end.
The 63 Pontiac was sharp. In 64 the Grand Prix came into its own rather than just an option package the previous year. I always liked the 61 Pontiac and Buick - very simple and clean looking cars. 1961 at GM marked a big change in design thinking for the new decade. I felt Mitchell was taking the design vanguard back from Exner over at Chrysler who took it from Harley Earl with the 57's.

The car, or the girl?
I had a '79 Sunbird with the 2.5L "Iron Duke" engine. Slow and unreliable.
I, too, liked the Monza and Skyhawk with the V6 engine.
God, what poor choices we had back in the 70's and 80's!
Both, actually. . . :surprise:

Back to the Skyhawks, the biggest problem with them was calling something like that a Buick. Then they wonder how the brand lost its luster.
Pretty sure the Tonka will be slowest to rust.

Like the car pictured it was bodied by Touring, other 6C 2500s were bodied by Pinifarina, Ghia and Zagato.

I'm not sure if it replaces the 1007, the 2010 Puegeot 3008 is a CUV but it looks a bit larger than the now 4 y/o 1007.

Left to right - Peugeot 204 Cabrio, MGB, Lambo Muira, early Fiat 124 coupe (I think), Mustang, and a W111 fintail.
IMCDB sez the Fintail is a 1960 220 S (W111), the Fiat is
an early one from 1967, the Mustang is a '66 and the Miura S
and Pug 204Cabrio are '69s.
Here's a look at some of 'em closer up>
Looks like a fun movie.
