Is it a Lada Signet or one of the half dozen names it was sold under?

Looks to be a Peugeot or something beside it, I know it somehow

For purposes of illustration, that Toronado pic at 640 pixels wide, is forcing the message area out under the right side video bar.

Please try and limit the width of pics you add to posts to 500 pixels or less. All you need to do is check the image properties before adding an img src link to your post. The width of the image is listed first in the properties. If it's too wide, then just post a link to the URL for the pic so we can open it in a new window and avoid the margin issue.

Thanks!

Is it a Lada Signet or one of the half dozen names it was sold under?

Nope, you've got it backwards. The Fiat 124 sedan was sold under many names, including Lada but the design was originally Fiats and a very successful one, not the least for being the basis of the delectable 124 Sport series.

LOL Doh...I was going by the badge on the front...it didn't look like a normal Fiat badge to me, so I guessed Lada.

The brown and cream two door hardtop is a 55-56 Pontiac...maybe a chieftain..

1978 Chevrolet Corvette convertible?

au94

67 or 68 vette

lemmer

68 or 69 I think

gsemike

It's pre 73 but it's hard to tell besides that. The round turn signals are probably the indicator of what exact year it is but I'm not enough of a historian to know what year it goes with.

I think that the mexican hat rallys are a later arrival so I'll guess 1971 small block car.

stickguy

doesn't that normally mean a big block car?

ateixeira

Funny how a vinyl top and an ugly bumper can ruin a car.

Didn't Jay Leno convert one of those to RWD? Is that the same car? His was beautiful.

-juice

andys120

Yep , it's a '68 Corvette C3 w a 427. '68 was the first year for the C3.

andys120

Jat Leno's RWD hot rod Toro is metallic gold IIRC and sports a complete Corvette LS2 drivetrain. It is cosmetically identical to the stock '66 Toro it was made up from.

He went so far as to have the stock chromed steel wheels replicated in light alloy, just because he could. :surprise:

Sorry, I've been away but this one was missed in the shuffle. It's a Panhard Dyna early 50's

ateixeira

I want to say Chevy Blazer? late 70s early 80s?

'69-72 GMC Jimmy. You'd need some good interior photos to tell the years apart.

If it's too wide, then just post a link to the URL for the pic so we can open it in a new window and avoid the margin issue.

You can also resize the picture in the img src tag. Just add ... width="000" height="000" inside the brackets after the URL. Make sure you do the math to keep the image proportional, a 640x480 is equiavalent to 400x300.

From a 575 x 343 original:

400 x 150 oops


400 x 239 okay

Mr_Shiftright

Panhard Dyna JUNIOR but that's pretty close!!

Mr_Shiftright

Well it's a shotgun answer but one of those was right.

It's a 1957 Chevrolet Beauville Wagon (9 passenger, 3 forward facing rows of seats). I think about 21,000 were made so it's "rare" by American standards but not what we'd call "rare" overall.

lemmer

andys120

Yep. That's a 1970 Jimmy.

First one looks like a stretch limo. grin.

Is that a corvair wagon? I seem to recall it now that I see the picture with the air inlets above the rear wheels!

imidazol97

Corvair Monza

stickguy

looks like a rambler wagon about to land on an early valient.

I like the MOnza. I think the later (what, 66=?) style Corvairs are pretty attractive.

lemmer

You are right on it - '61 Rambler.

bumpy

The wagon is a '61 Corvair Lakewood. The paint job and window insert ahead of the C-pillar makes #4260 a Yenko Stinger, based on the top-line Corsa and not the mid-line Monza. Second-gen Corvairs were '65-69.

xrunner2

Ford Ka? Censor the license plate.

andys120

Watch those margins, Navi, don't spoil it for the rest of us. It's the current EuroFord Fusion.

andys120

is indeed a Gen II Corvair Monza but the odd C-pillar, stripes and alloy wheels tell you it's a very special '66 Monza, the Yenko Stinger, a real terror on street and track, just as Bimpy says.

ateixeira

Is that a Fusion, or a Fiesta?

Actually the Fiestas I've seen are smaller and shorter, so maybe it is a Fusion.

Had to remove that VERY large pic becuase overly wide pics are creating a problem with the right side margin of the message area.

Please limit the pic you put into posts to 500 pixels in width. If you have a pic that HAS to bve seen full size to be appreciated, please just post the URL to the pic in your post. That way, anyone who wants to view the pic can see it in another window and we avoid the margin issues.

Thanks!

Opel Kadett C "City", mid-to-late 70s.
RWD, boys.. sorta the German anser to the Chevette.
And check out those 13-inchers.... they make me swoon... or something.

Sorry about the large picture.

andy you're right it is the Ford Fusion. I saw them recently in India.

Yep but the Kadett wasn't the answer to the Chevette--it was a Chevette with a different badge or was it the other way around. IIRC the Opel may have been first.

In any case it was perhaps GM's most successful "world car" design in the sense that it sold in big numbers in many different markets, I saw a lot of 'em while I was in Brazil in '76.

Armstrong-Siddeley from just after the war. Can't forget that austere grille on what was otherwise a fairly highline car.

andys120

Yes, an Armstrong Siddeley Lancaster, 1947-52. considered a rival to the Jag Mk. IV & V.

Try another?

Eagle premier/renault medallion/Dodge Monaco.

Nice luggage rack too.
