    You got them all Fin. If you can't hit reply just copy the headline of the post you're replying to and type in the "Re:"

    It's impossible to tell from that photo whether it's a Series One or Two E-Type.

    Based on the plate, I'd say an 80 TBird.

    Based on the plate, I'd say an 80 TBird.

    Fake out! The plate is a reference to the 30th anniversary of the T-Bird so it's a 1985 Thunderbird LX 5.0 30th Anniversary Edition, it wears the same "phone dial" wheels as the 85-86 Mustang 5.0s and noo wisecracks about "what's a phone dial. :P

    Datsun 410 (Nissan Bluebird), ca. 1966-67. Immediate precursor to the famous 510, with vaguely Alfa-ish bodywork.
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    It most definately isn't a 1980 Thunderbird! A 1980 Thunderbird is this monstrosity:

    My Dad had a 1981 Thunderbird Town Landau. It was a real dog! I had to floor that puny 255 V-8 engine just to get that car up a hill.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Close enough Stephen, It's a 1966 Datsun 411 (JDM PL411 Bluebird),
    the 411 being a larger-engined version with the 1600cc engine from the Datsun Sports
    /JDM Fairlady, as opposed to the 410's 1300cc motor. They look almost identical, the resemblance to Alfas stemming from the fact that Pininfarina executed the styling.

    Here's what they look like with bumpers and whitewalls>

    Meyers Manx - unknown year, since they pretty much all look the same.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Yep it's a late 60's Manx, I considered buying one as they are lighter than the Beetle with better handling and braking and there's a zillion ways to hop-up the basic VW boxer. Driving one was much like I'd imagine a 356 would drive.

    Correct! It's the sister of the Ford EXP which my brother and I joked that it meant "EXtensivelt Plastic!" Ford sales literature of the time had the chuzpah to picture the EXP next to a classic 1955-57 Thunderbird!
  • bhill2bhill2 Member Posts: 2,598
    My cousin had a Ford EXP. He referred to it as his Ford POS. I won't elaborate.

    I knew a lady that owned a late 60's Datsun like this and it was a great car except for the cat that peed in it! It seems to me that Datsun and Toyota were similar quality vehicles, but around the time of the name change to Nissan their quality started falling behind.

    Ahhh, the ever popular Geo Storm(1990-93), nee Isuzu Impulse (gen II) sold in Canada as the Asuna Sunfire and elsewhere as the Isuzu or Holden Piazza.

    I think I covered all the bases. :blush:

    That one worked - I zapped the "stop sign."
  • hudsonthedoghudsonthedog Member Posts: 552
    The Storm had a different front clip than this model, which is the Isuzu Impulse. The Asuna Sunfire shared the body panels with this model, but didn't carry the "Isuzu" badge across the grille as this one does.

  • wgraferwgrafer Member Posts: 592
    OK, here's a try: The brown 2-door is a 76-81 1st generation Honda Accord, the 4-door blue sedan is a 1990 Buick - looks like a LeSabre. The champaigne color 2-door with the vinyl roof looks like a 91 Cadillac Coupe deVille. I can't quite make out the silver 4-door in front of it, but it looks vaguely like a Cutlass. And the 2 dorr coupe in the foreground looks so familiar -- is it a Nissan Pulsar??
  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    Not a Nissan Pulsar but a Subaru XT6 coupe.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,419
    The hatchback lower left is an earlyish Accord as was mentioned. The coupe to the right is a SubaruXT6 as was mentioned. Blue sedan to the left is a mid 80s Buick Century. Parked in front of the white building aoppears to be an early Subaru Legacy and a ca. 85-88 Caddy. Small glimpse of car at lower right appears to be a Ford LTD/Grand Marquis.
  • michaellnomichaellno Member Posts: 4,120
    The blue 4 door is not a LeSabre but rather a Century.

    The silver car in front of the Cadillac is, I think, a Subaru Legacy.

    Plymouth Sundance or Dodge, ummm .... gee, I can't remember the name.

    Looks like a personal photo ... why don't the wheels match?

    That's it! Thanks for kick-starting the ol' memory.

    Weren't there stripped versions of these models sold under the "America" moniker?

    Perhaps it's time to bring that patriotism back?
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    There was a Sundance America, Horizon America, and a Reliant America from what I can recall. There was a car manufactured by Willys called the Americar around 1940-41.

    I have tried several times to post my reply to this one - but it seems the replies aren't showing...
    Anyway it's a GAZ Volga 31105, circa 2003
  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    Close, magnette. It's a Volga 3111. The 31105 had a similar nose, but grafted onto the old-style 3110 body:

    We've been having some server issue for the last 48 hours (and we didn't even upgrade or roll-out anything new).

    Sorry for the problems posting. We may have to do a "reboot" tonight if it still won't clear up.
