    I think they had a Limited, Roadmaster 75, Super, Century, and Special. Not sure how you’d tell them apart from this view.
  • bhill2bhill2 Member Posts: 2,602
    OK, I can get this started. It is not a Super; that one didn't have a convertible. I can't figure it out beyond that.

    My guess is due to the dapper man's tuxedo and the lady's mink stole, it's a 1958 Buick Limited Riviera four-door hardtop.

    You're exactly right Lemko.

    Anyone remember where the gas went in this '58 Buick? I worked at a truckstop/gas station back in the '60s, and sometimes it was a puzzle to find the gas tank.

    This one was easy to find-it had a little door on the bumper.

    Maserati Indy - early 70's - although it looks narrower than I remember. Back in the early 80's when my journey to work was 20 miles of backroads just outside London I used to catch up in traffic with a white Indy -I was in a Mini at the time, so I didn't see it for long each time, but it was a nice looking car and of course not at all common...
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,126
    Yep, Indy, I've known two of them. One with an auto, not very quick, but looked nice - the rust hid pretty well! The other a cleaner manual.

    That is pretty. IN profile, it looks even more appealling

    Yup, it's a Maserati Indy (four-seat GT)

    Not a variant it is a regular Triumph TR-4 ('61-'65)

    Definitely not, there was no 128 Spider, are you thinking of the Fiat 124 Spider? Well it's not that either but it's the car the 124 Spider was patterned on...
    anyone?

    I think it's a Fiat 600 which had a smoother back than the 500.

    That leaves the sedan in front of the TR and the white sportscar behibd it.

    No idea on the sports car, but the sedan looks to have the appearance of either a Peugot or a Volvo.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,483
    Sedan looks like a Lancia Appia to me,

    Yes, looks like a Lancia Appia. And possibly a Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider....

    I couldn't tell you how many headlights but it is a '57 Imperial Southampton.

    Lead car is a 51 Ford, followed by a Caddy and Buick. Don't know GM years. Taxi, a WAG, a Plymouth or Dodge.
  • lostwrench1lostwrench1 Member Posts: 1,165
    51 Plymouth Concord
    51 Ford Fordor
    53 Cadillac El Dorado
    53 Buick Roadmaster

    and two more Cadillacs.

    Sounds good to me but I've never heard of a Plymouth Concord.

    I have a Franklin Mint diecast of the '53 Eldo convertible.

    "Sounds good to me but I've never heard of a Plymouth Concord. "

    Despite these obstacles, Plymouth entered the 1951 market with, if not three completely new models, at least three new model names. Abandoning the term "Deluxe" (which had been used since 1933) and "Special Deluxe" (used since 1941), the new models were called Concord, Cambridge, and Cranbrook.

    The question here is:

    1) What year?

    2) How much did it sell for last weekend at Barrett-Jackson?

  • bhill2bhill2 Member Posts: 2,602
    1) 1963

    2) $217,800, believe it or not

    The bus was referred to as a 'Samba' Microbus. Not sure what that means.

    Yep, the 2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0, priced from $21,625.

    Okay, one more, in case you missed this story over the weekend:

    Pontiac Sunbird going off the road at the Pikes Peak hill climb.

    Forward (or is that downward?) progress was stopped by a large rock.

    Looks like a Riley with a Ford Zephyr or Consul pulling out behind it.
    Maybe a 100E shape Ford Popular or Prefect over the bonnet of the Consul.
    The lorry visible over the boot of the Consul looks to be an ERF.

    NOTE: the full picture isn't visible here, but if you if you save it you can see it in full.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Sorry Mac24 but that's not a Riley. You're right about the Ford though, it's a '56 Ford Zephyr according to IMCDB.

    Anyone got the black car seen nose on?

    Looks very Humber-ish
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    You've got the right idea Shifty. IMCDB says it's a Humber Super Snipe Mk.IV but from that angle it cold easily be a Humber Hawk IV.

    Ha, ha. It so happened I owned two, which would probably clinch an insanity plea in most states. :sick:

    The 9000 Turbo was a good car in search of a decent transmission. I could never figure out why Saab could never make a good transaxle or clutch since they'd been doing FWD longer than anyone except Citroen and Cord. :confuse:
