An early Toyota Corona, from about 1965. They were assembled in Port Melbourne (near my office) under the same deal as the Renault 16 mentioned above, being sold here as the Toyota Tiara. I am not sure if they made it to the USA, but obviously somewhere other than RHD countries.
This is sort of the beginning of the Japanese revolution in Australia. I don't think a massive number were assembled but from the next generation, they were a big hit.

The Mark 1 from 68-69 was different with as it had the same front as the early Triumph 2000 from the mid 60's.
My stupid Flckr site no longer allows me to post my photos directly - all you can do is access the page itself using the little blue box there - sorry...
Any of you recommend a simple site (preferably free) where I could post my pictures and then copy them across to here?
I think the reason you're getting nowhere with Flickr is because their URLs use and @ sign in them and we mask @ signs here to foil spambots.
The code is the farm9/staticflickr stuff.

I like that blue too. I hate Ford's tomato reds of that period.
I'd have to have one with the correct full wheel covers, but love those cars.
One thing about Fords of that era I thought was a little goofy for a Big Three car, was how the steering column was actually two columns--a smaller one for steering and an exposed one for the shifter. Wouldn't keep me from really enjoying one though.
Call me crazy, but I prefer the 1960. Both 60 and 61 are excellent examples of the transition between 50s glitz and 60s modernism, kind of stuck in metamorphosis.
Oh - and by the way - anybody know the car?

I'll go with the 63. I believe they were all on the same chassis through 64.

So you'd delete anything else.
Then you'd bracket that with the IMG code that you can get by hitting the IMG button (hit it once to open the IMG code, paste the jpg photo link, then hit the IMG button again to close the code). The code goes between the "s.
Someone can probably explain it better. Or shoot me an email the next time you're having trouble (stever@edmunds.com). And you'll have to handtype that email address since the @ won't copy and paste right.

The tipo 105 was popular with the Carabinieri and as a taxicab during it's long production run lasting from '62 to '78.

Sort of Orphan Annie.
Peugeot 309 from about 1990.
When Peugeot bought the faint remnants of Chrysler Europe, they acquired the Ryton plant near Coventry and the plants in France. I think that this ws supposed to be badged as a Talbot, although Simca based. Logically, it should have been badged as a Peugeot 306, but being non Peugeot made, they called it a 309.
I know that I've driven one, belonging to a colleague, but have absolutely no recollection of it. I do recall that it looks like a sedan from the front and a hatchback from the rear.
A remarkably ungraceful design.

at first take, I thought some derivative of Fiat 124 Spyder, but proportions look larger. The grille and tyres make wonder it it is American.
Maybe some American one-off using mid 60's Italian design cues.
Very pretty

A hint: power came from the 3.5 Liter Buick V8 or the 5 Liter Buick V8 and it was built in coupe and spider versions.

I dunno, when I see that pic I think of Jack LaLanne. Muscular and fit, but dude, lose the jumpsuit).
I s'pose it's not that bad looking for a '62 MoPar but a little restraint would've gone a long way, which they eventually figured out>

If you compare them, you'll note the headlights and taillights match in configuration, with the same offset for both. More coordinated that some.
But good looking? Nope.
But yes, there is a sense of diagonally offset lights front and rear. So probably the people who designed the front of the car did look at the back of the car.
But you're also right, it's still ugly.

I have no argument with the 'ugly', but it would be a 413 Max Wedge. The 440 didn't show up until 1966.
