    Yeah. 'tis a '62 Silver Cloud II DHC. The plain wheel is a contrast to the well-instrumented
    dash.

    Looks like they glued everything they could find on there except the handles from the door to the men's room. Yikes!

    Wow, kinda looks like a Checker on Halloween night!

    No clue as to what it really is.

    The Halloween car is indeed one of the last Hudsons, likely a 57 model

    That's exactly what it is and what a sad end for Hudson which made some of the coolest cars of the early 50s.[click]

    That old Hudson has a tri-tone color combo (white black & orange). Tri-tones were popular during th mid '50's. A number of cars offered that kind of paint treatment back then. Thank god the popularity didn't last long.

    I see the Opel badge...I'll guess an Astra, sport model
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    You're hot today, Fintail, it's an Astra GTC 1.9.

    I'm pathetic at anything before the 80s, but I think that's a Mercury Capri?

    Wow.... that is pathetic... ;)

    Some Buick or Oldsmobile variation on the Chevelle.... Or possibly, a Canadian version....

    Year? I'd say about '70-'71....

    You think that's bad imagine what my next guess would have been. ;)

    No thanks.... but, that Capri guess (and I can see a little resemblance in the front end) got me thinking I had the whole thing wrong.... I started thinking..."Is this a Ford?"

    Close but it's a '72 and it's not a Gran Sport.

    Not to get confusing...
    .. but my first thought was "1970s Ford Capri".
    Which was a German-market-only rear driver that I swear looks sorta like it....

    Capris were sold here under the Mercury name in the '70s, V6 cars were sourced from Koln (sorry, I can't do that oomlat thing) while four-bangers wre from Dagenham, England.

    Boy, you missed a lot of AMerican history growing up in the old country.

    Not too long ago someone posted a link to Capri website. Way more info than you ever wanted.

    The gen 1 capris were another of my favorites when I was young.

    A Pontiac Firebird, perhaps?
  • lancerfixerlancerfixer Member Posts: 1,284
    Andy, are you sure the '72's not a GS? I see the badge on the grille...
    The Firebird looks like it might be an '84, '85 or so? It looks like it's some kind of aftermarket/tuner package...are those Camaro rims on it?
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    Yeah looks like it has the IROC/Z28 rims on it.

    Cool paint job. Reminds me of the old AE86 Trueno/Corollas. The wing, however, is hideous. MSE.....Motor Sports Engineering?

    Actually I'm not sure but the dealer's ad makes no mention that's it's a GS. You'd think a dealer would want buyers to know that and tell them which motor it has. :confuse: .

    Oh, those are definitely Camaro rims on the '83 Pontiac Tran-AM MSE. Yes that's a tuner package from Mecom Racing, Here's the ad.

    Yeah... I really liked the Capri...

    When I was a teenager, a skycap at the airport had one.... With a bodykit.. the kind that looked like it was bolted on.. Yellow, with black stripes... very cool..

    I did see the front end resemblance... even before you posted the picture..

    Really, if Mercury had called the Merkur XR4Ti a Mercury Capri, it might have been successful...

    Don't really know what it is, but is sure looks great.

    I'm guessing it's from a British manufacturer, possibly Jaguar, from the 50s.
  • lancerfixerlancerfixer Member Posts: 1,284
    ...but I have no idea what the model is.
  • imidazol97imidazol97 Member Posts: 27,690
    Is this the same as #2644?

    The red one doesn't have the hood ornament, the silver one has a hood ornament. The wheels, the front bumper shapes match. But the silver has those awful extra lights on the front.

    Jag Mk I, which was made from 56-59 IIRC

    2006 Kia Rio
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Yep, it's the Mark One Jag which debuted in 1955 and along with the Alfa 1900TI was the prototype of modern sport sedans as we know them.

    The Mk. I can be visually distinguished from the more numerous and better -
    known Mk. II by the thicker C-pillar and heavier door surrounds. Unlike the pictured car, Mk.I Jags are generally seen with disc wheels and dog-dish hubcaps.

    No it's not a Kia Rio, it's not a Kia at all.

    Read the First Drive of the Kia Rio to see what it looks like.

  • nedc2nedc2 Member Posts: 192
    It's a Ford Ikon, which is a sedan, obviously, based on the previous generation Fiesta platform. IIRC they were originally designed in India for their home market, but are now built several places including the Cuautitlan Mexico plant.

    Is that the Rumanian SUV they're trying to bring to the US? I can't remember the name of the thing.
