Is that a LWB "Autobiography" model? A self-absorbed name for a clientele who probably matches.
"Land Rover last launched a long-wheelbase Range Rover back in 1992 (it was known as the County LWB) but the new vehicle's origins owe more to the Autobiography Ultimate Edition of 2011. Back then it was all about Land Rover testing the market for a $150K Range Rover and it proved a huge success. Indeed, it was so successful that this newcomer is testing the market for a $200K SUV."

Wellllll... 'fastest selling' means 'fewest days of inventory', I guess. Can be affected just as much by supply as demand, right?
Pretty good that it outsold the new Vette. That can't be in huge supply either. Number three was the Cherokee with plenty of pent up demand after Jeep delayed the release.
I don't know that it outsold the Vette. It sure didn't outsell most every regular car. That why I wonder what 'fastest selling' means. Do you know?
Ferrari 330GT / or S cabrio? I kind of like it like that, I would drive it as-is. I'd also like a scruffy gullwing.
@texases, you're right, these are days to turn numbers, not "outsold" numbers.
"According to Edmunds.com's days to turn (DTT) statistics, which measure how long a vehicle sits on a dealer's lot before it's sold, the average Range Rover sold in November was on sale at a dealer's lot for just nine days. Chevrolet Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and Land Rover Range Rover Sport all tied for the second slot, at 10 days to turn. Other popular vehicles ranking in last month's top 10 include Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (14 DTT), Subaru Forester (17 DTT) and Mitsubishi Mirage (18 DTT). By comparison, the average new car sold in November sat on a dealer lot for 59 days."
Nice chart at theautochannel.com.
Someone posted an "outsold" link but all I remember is Camry (the F-150 wasn't on that list even though it's number one).
Yup, it's a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS, easily mistaken (as I did) for the smaller-engined '66 275 GTS. Fans of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider will notice the similarity in the styling (Pininfarina often stole from itself).

Very rare car the 330 GTS. Only 100 made. I have the privilege of one in my neighborhood. Easily worth over $1 mil today.
G'day
This one is so odd that I did not know what it was!
Cheers

Is this a Mazda?
Yes, a Mazda, but I do not know much about it. Anyone know much about them?
Cheers
Graha!
I think it's called the T2000, one of the last variations of the Mazdago 3-wheeler, first made in 1931 and Mazda's first vehicle.
Mercedes?

This is a 53 Plymouth and I think the chrome trim indicates it is a Cranbrook.
I always thought the styling of the 53/54 Plymouth made them look smaller than they really were. Personally, I prefer that vintage Desoto, but that's just an individual thing (and a more expensive car back then!).

Looks like a JDM Nissan .. Puma?

Almost, but not quite a Mazda 929. However grille looks like a Mercedes knock-off so I presume Korean. They tend to be visually indistinguishable. I guess from early 1990s
Cheers
Graham
Yes, it is based off the old Mazda 929 by a popular Korean manufacturer. It has a very pretentious model name.

It looks French to me too but I just got far enough to rule out Citroens.
I'm guessing one of those rare German version of a Karmann Ghia... ?
It's a renault. A caravelle variant?

It's a** '62 Renault Caravelle**, cabrio w removable h/t, the French Karmann-Ghia.

I didn't think they were bad looking cars when they came out, but America still smarted from the Dauphine
I think it's fair to say that neither Renault nor French cars in general ever recovered from the Dauphine.

Pretty good knock off from a Pininfarina late fifties design. This is from the era when Datsuns still looked like Austins.
Not sure what it was sold as in the USA but one of the earliest Datsun Bluebirds sold overseas.
Cheers
Graham

Not many were sold here Graham, most of them on the West coast, it's a 1962 Datsun Bluebird SW. IIRC the Bluebirds eventually begat the popular Datsun 510 of the late 60s.

1949 Dodge ? My high school friends father had one that looked very similar and I think it was a 49,
2015 Mazda 3 Skyactive 6spd. auto 2008 Mazda Tribute S 4spd auto.
Interesting two-tone.
Close, Boyce but it's a 1948 Dodge B1b, not that there's any way to tell it from a '49.

It is supposed to be a SAAB 96.The image is from an early Miyazaki (director of Spirited Away and Kiko's Delivery Service) Anime movie that my son watched as I remember the punch up in the rear seat. The title in English was "The Castle of Cagliostro" deriving from the French "Gentleman Thief" Arsene Lupin. The original author was Maurice Leblanc, a rough contemporary of Conan Doyle.
Stylistically, it looks very like Herge, the creator of TinTin
A lot of Manga and Anime, derives from Western stories and we have had some fun tracing out the literary (or sometimes operatic libretto) roots of many of the Manga that our son reads. You usually presume that it is Japanese archetypes or Chinese (eg the TV series Monkey and the irritating Dragonball Z both derive from the Chinese classic, Journey to the West). However some come from Grimm, Anderson, folkloric stereotypes and the like.
It is worth searching out The Castle of Cagliostro for the range of cars. It is something of a "Spot that shape " game. I can recall a Fiat 500 and there might have been a Studebaker Lark. There was certainly a Citroen 2CV

Speaking of cartoon cars,there is an animated series called "Archer" that goes out of its way to show detailed cars. Here's an interesting parking garage shot:
It says 'Saab 93' to me.

Good time as any I guess to mention that you can click the gear to the top right of your post and an edit option will show up. You have to hover over that area for the gear to show up.
Is there any way to delete a post entirely (within the edit period?)

One of those goofy Saab V4's, don't know the model number.
I haven't found it. But I have seen a couple of empty posts where I decided someone deleted the contents since a delete isn't available--same end result. I also changed a post I decided to delete to a different point. At least it wasn't a blank post.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Nice variety in that still. The car on the left is a mid70s Aspen/Volare, next to it a '59 Caddy two-door and then an early ('53-'55) Corvette C1. I'll leave the rest for youse. Frankly I can't quite recall what the rightmost car is. It looks very familiar, I think it's an 80s Japanese model.

Probably a Saab 96, more or less. German V-4, 4-on-the-tree shifter, free-wheel transaxle---aside from delicate transmission, this car was as tough as they come. I remember one rolling over in Left Hand Canyon in Colorado. Passers-by rocked the car to and fro until it righted itself--a tow truck put in some oil that had leaked out, the owner cranked it over and drove it home.
