    Close, it's a '56 DeSoto.

    Oh, wow. Is that a Diamond T, ca. 1949?

    I'll take 2: The2-tone with the droopy headlights is a 1964 Plymouth Fury, and the red wagon it's about to hit is a 1960 Dodge Dart(probably a Phoenix, but possibly a Pioneer).
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    So far so good, how about the red convertible and the green wagon?

  • wgraferwgrafer Member Posts: 592
    The red convert looks like a 1967 Barracuda (I'd say
    '68 but I can't see any side marker lights). The wagon
    has me questioning my eyesight. At first I thought it
    was a GM, then I thought a Ford, finally I came to
    suspect it was a large (and rare) Chrysler product-
    so I'll go with a 1975 Dodge Monaco wagon. :confuse:

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,409
    I think the green wagon is a ca. 1968 Dodge, maybe Plymouth...I think Carol Brady had a similar style wagon.

    The G registration on the plate is misleading
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    The red convertible is almost certainly a '67 'Cuda. I can't see enough of the green wagon to nail it down. There's something about it that says "Buick" but the producers of this show (Gomer Pyle USMC BTW) obviously had one of those deals with the manufacturer to feature their cars in exchange for supplying cars.

    Those deals seldom applied to every car in a background shot AFAIK but odds are that wagon is a Dodge, Plymouth or Chrysler, I just don't know.

    Not to us, we don't know what those letters are supposed to mean anyway. :P

    The car is a Sunbeam Venezia, a Touring-bodied variant of the Mix/Rapier IIRC ca. '63-'65.

    That's aluminum coachwork, too bad they felt constrained to keep the fusty grille, it could'a been a contender.

    is a 1969 Plymouth Satellite. Plymouth liked using the "Suburban" name on wagons, so it could be "Satellite Suburban". At that angle though, with the shading and such, I can see how it would evoke thoughts of a Buick.

    As for the red/white wagon, all I can tell is that it's a 1960 Dodge. That year, all Darts except the wagons were on a 118" wheelbase. However, the wagons shared the same 122" wb as the "real" Dodges. And while the fins are different on a Dart versus a Matador/Polara, on the wagon body shell, they're all the same.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,229
    It is indeed a Sunbeam Venezia, they built 145 between 1963-65 and it was really most closely related to the then Humber Sceptre - which had originally been intended as a Sunbeam model too. Only available in Italy, so we didn't get this car when new - presumably that explains the out of year registration - G suffix was August 1968-July 1969. If the car had been imported more recently, ie after the early eighties, then it would have had a year related registration applied - so it could have been A,B or C suffix.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    I think that is a Suzuki Estate/wagon that we did/do not get. Perhaps a Suzuki Cultus/Esteem or something related..

  • wgraferwgrafer Member Posts: 592
    What's a fintail???
  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    I was thinking it looked a bit bigger than a Cultus. I wondered if maybe it was a Nissan Skyline wagon or something, especially given that it's sitting next to a Skyline GT-R at what appears to be a car show.

    Then I saw the big "S" in the middle of the grille. In my case, "S" is for "stumped."
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Skyline wagon = Nissan Stagea, mid-late '90s. This one doesn't look aggressive enough to be a 260RS, so it's probably the regular old 2.5L mill.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,229
    Yes, it's a Nissan Stagea - we didn't get it either - this one is a grey import...I'm not clear which model, as it wasn't one I'm familiar with. Sorry about the delays with my responses - effectively I haven't got e-mail at home at the moment so I am dealing with this from work - and now this thing is going wrong as well ....

    Gads. Buick Reatta--is it a real droptop?
  • british_roverbritish_rover Member Posts: 8,502
    Yes they did make a very few real drop tops Reattas. Not sure how many but couldn't be more then a few hundred.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    Actually about 2400 Reatta dragtops were made, a little more than 10% of the total production. It seems that the Corvette continues to be the only Us made two-seat ragtop with any longevity.

    Normally I defer to andre1969 and other Mopar fans here. But I have idle hands for the moment, so. . .

    They're Plymouth Barracudas, and I think the orange one is a 'Cuda 340. Shot in the dark as far as year goes--'71?
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,022
    Actually, I think they're either '70's or '72's. Barracudas had quad headlights for 1971, but went back to single for '72-74. The '73-74 had a bulkier front bumper, with those big black blocks for bumper guards.
  • davethecarnutdavethecarnut Member Posts: 248
    I'll say 1970 cuz I think 70 was the only year for the "hockey stripe".
    (that black stripe on top of the rear fender).
    The 71 'Cudas had gills too.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    You guys know your MoPars, both cars are 1970 Plymouth 340 'Cudas.

    Well, the one on the right is a Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman. Not sure about the car on the left--it looks vaguely familiar, maybe an Opel Rekord?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    Yep the Opel is a '61 Rekord. The Mercedes-Benz 600 was introduced in Sept. 1963

    Looks like a 1965 Chrysler - probably a Newport. A friend's Dad had a Black '65 300 - it was a little fancier looking!
  • lostwrench1lostwrench1 Member Posts: 1,165
    1966 Chrysler Windsor?
  • wgraferwgrafer Member Posts: 592
    I think Lostwrench is right about it being a '66.
  • berriberri Member Posts: 10,165
    I think it is a 66 also. Andre would know, but I thought by this time the 300 was detuned and relegated to replace the Windsor as the middle line car between New Yorker and Newport? Dumb move as personal coupes like T-Bird, Toronado and Riviera were popular, but it wasn't just the past decade or two when Detroit didn't always think it through!
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,669
    It's a '66 Chrysler Newport.

  • lostwrench1lostwrench1 Member Posts: 1,165
    A Newport? Hmmm. There are no small directional lights on top of the fenders. The Windsor had none.

  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    Hmm.

    It's old--because it gets narrower toward the front.

    Not much legroom--eliminates my first impulse (Fiat Topolino).

    The pedals and shifter look very familiar--or very generic.
  • andre1969andre1969 Member Posts: 26,022
    Yeah, by 1966, Chrysler's lineup was Newport/300/New Yorker. The last "real" 300 was the 1965 300L.

    Chrysler started shifting their lineup around in the early 1960's, as they moved downscale into the territory once occupied by DeSoto and the nicer Dodges, in an attempt to give Imperial more room to fly on its own. In 1960, for example, their lineup was Windsor/Saratoga/New Yorker/300F. For 1961, they went to Newport/Windsor/New Yorker/300G, and then for 1962 it was Newport/300/New Yorker/300H.

    I think the 300 line was pretty popular for awhile, but interest faded as the 60's wore on, and eventually I think it was replaced by a line called Newport Custom, and then that was eventually folded back into the Newport line.

    That's a very early Beetle, probably from right after the war (to meet the guidelines here), essentially a KdF. Looks like it has the cool optional Telefunken radio. Color seems very "Afrika Korps" to me - actually now that I look closer the exterior seems to be camo, too.

    Well, it's not "right after the war" nor is it "pre-war"...it's a 1944 KdF 82E.

    Looks like the lineup ca. 1985

    Clockwise from left - 328GTS (I think, not a 308?), Mondial, 400/412, Testarossa
