Fiat Linea...basically a Punto sedan

Mr_Shiftright

Of COURSE, a Hoffman Auto-Kabine...how could I ever mix that up with a Romi-Isetta? :P

Fiat Linea...basically a Punto sedan

Si, I dunno if it's related to the Brazilian Fiat Tipo, prolly is. They're going to make/sell the Linea in India now.

Looks to me like one of the early Willys Jeep CJs. A CJ-1 perhaps?

andys120

You're a little off Lemko. Only a handful of CJ1s were made and perhaps 45 CJ-2s. The version shown, the CJ-2A, was the first mass-produced civilian Jeep
(over 200, 000 made from 1945-49.)

Wikipedia: Jeep CJ.

Extra points if you know the TV Show it's from.

Cadillac Allante, but I have no idea what year - they all looked alike to me...late 80's-early 90's.

Looks like JR from 'Dallas' driving...

andys120

Right on both counts Grafer.

andys120

They don't get any plainer:

Since it's been out here for a while I'll give it a shot. At first I thought it
was a late 40's Willys Jeepster, but I think they were even fancier than
this model. So that leaves a late 40's Willys Pickup or Delivery Wagon???

andys120

Good guess, it's a Willys but not from the 1940s. They were still making them
that plain right into the 1950s>

1955 Willys:

lostwrench1

I agree with the Willys Wagon, but because of the single piece windshield I'll bring it into the 1950s.

That's a short engine to be laid out longitudinally...

Morgan Plus 4?

andys120

Nope, sorry it's not a Mog.

Mr_Shiftright

Looks like an early MG.

andys120

Looks like an early MG.

Care to be more specific?

Mr_Shiftright

Well I'm a bit doubtful this is a completely stock engine but okay, I'll take a flyer on a pre-war MG TA or TB

stephen987

I was going to suggest a TF 1500.

andys120

TF 1500.

Yup!

andys120

Mr_Shiftright

There you go----I so rarely see TFs anymore. My favorite 50s MG by the way.

subearu

the new Boss package for the Mustang.

-Brian

andys120

Yup that's the 2012 Ford Boss Mustang/Laguna Seca

stickguy

guessing the G25, since that is the only thing new about it.

andys120

guessing the G25, since that is the only thing new about it.

Right you are.

ateixeira

Wonder if that'll hurt G37 sales since it's also a V6?

stephen987

66 Ford Galaxie 500.

andys120

That's right, Stephen, the badges in the grille and on the fender read "7 Litre" indicating a 428 CID V8 under the hood.



Two-time F1 Champion Jim Clark owned a '67 Galaxie 7 Litre.

Mr_Shiftright

More of a cruising engine than performance engine in common Fairlane form.

fintail

The 427 was the real performance engine, and IIRC those ones weren't badged "7 litre"

Mr_Shiftright

Yes but the 427 wasn't very practical for the street. So the more utilitarian cars/sedans got the somewhat lazy FE 428. I mean, it was "okay" HP but I think the Mopars beat it up pretty bad.

fintail

Ford didn't do full size muscle like Mopar, indeed. Prices reflect it today. Although a Galaxie is nothing to be ashamed of, they can be stylish in their own way and the engines aren't bad or anything.

andys120

Mr_Shiftright

I fail to see the appeal---it's not tire-burning power, it's not sexy, it's not a Mopar, it's not a Camaro, Chevelle or Mustang, and it's not a prestige luxo-barge.

cooterbfd

'70 Country Squire???

explorerx4

maybe a Torino Squire?

fintail

Oh, they aren't that bad...and 390 and above cars can smoke the tires pretty well...having been a 16 year old driver of a 66 Galaxie with that engine, I know :shades: . Not sexy, but clean 60s design, and affordable. I think Ford sold something like 300K Galaxie hardtops in 66 alone, so they had some kind of appeal.

This evenings obscure car: Datsun B210 hatchback, not in pristine condition but it looked all there.

stever

There was a Galaxie of that generation in our family too. We all liked it until I took it to school one Thanksgiving and a cold snap cracked the block. (Don't ask me which engine was in it; don't even remember the year and can't find a photo). The next door neighbor bought it and fixed it. Ours was white, and my brother liked to cruise the drunks in the evening - the cops in our area drove the same car.

andys120

Yep, it's a 1968 Ford Torino Squire.

andys120

qbrozen

Del Sol.

Although I can't tell you the year without looking it up.

ateixeira

I'll guess 1995, looks like an Si model from the wheels.

TRIED to replace the CRX Si but most certainly did not.

andys120

Close Juice, it's a 1994 Honda Del Sol VTEC.

andys120

You won't have too much trouble figuring out where this still is from but a couple of these cars might be a challenge>

Mr_Shiftright

I hope she's not planning to get into that Corvette---it already looks pretty crowded.
