    That car would look a LOT better with two doors instead of four.

    It's a Torino. Can't find pictures of right year but guessing 69. Now model..., it was a Nascar type name. Daytona? I had a 73. This was earlier.

    A Torino Talladega.

    Nice car, 428 CJ I believe, but only available as an automatic.

    Continentals were made in two door and convertible form as well by various coachbuilders, here's a coupe built by the same coachbuilder as the green sedan shown.

    IMHO the four door is better looking but perhaps it's that beautiful green paint.

    The white one looks like a a Renault that we got as the Encore, not sure what number that was in Europe where this car is.

    Blue one a real car, not a concept? I like it! Looks Aussie to me.

    Holden Crewman Cross8 (which makes it an AWD, LS1-powered, crew-cab El Camino. GM should be smacked repeatedly in the nads for not selling it here.)
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,757
    I thnik that's a Renault 11...I had a Matchbox version. That one has Dutch plates, I think.

    OMG, I could not agree more. Bring that here today and I will be at the Chevy dealership tomorrow. Awesome looking car. Or is it truck?

    a car and a truck, it's a cruck! If I remember correctly, that version has a live axle in the back.

    Not my era or car type, but I'll guess Pontiac Trans Am, maybe '70 or so?

    Right on target!

    And, I agree wholeheartedly with you about it being brought across the pond and sold here.

    With the popularity of "crossover" type vehicles in full swing, I could see GM selling 50,000 of these with no trouble at all.

    I mean, c'mon, if they can federalze the Monaro for Pontiac, they can do the same for this.

    If that's not enough, they sell a 2-door version of the Ute as well as a one-ton heavy duty model.

    Crikey!

    A Torino Talladega.

    Right you are. Thanks to its "aerodynics" it won the manufacturers cup in 1968. A title it lost to the Dodge Daytona in 69.

    Geezuz...An MG grill and a bloated old RR type body...Must be a Princess...Stabbing at the year(they all look the same)..fairly modern Jag-like headlight fairings...nice whitewalls...
    1985..hehe Jack
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    Nope, that is not an Austin Princess but the "Jag-like headlight fairings" are an important clue. ;)

    That's the ugly slug Daimler 420, I believe.

    Don't tell me it's a Jag?..Jack
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,757
    Dutch plates, that's all I can tell

    Kinda reminds me of one of those Indian-built Rovers, but I doubt that's it.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682

    Pretty much Jack, Daimler is a subsidiary of Jaguar and Daimler cars are all based on Jag
    platforms and powerplants, at least since Jaguar took it over in the 1960's.

    You're right about the Dutch plates, I got the shot from a .ne website. The little car is a current model Daihatsu Cuore.

    1949 Ford station wagon?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    Close, it's a 1950. It's hard to believe that they could legally sell a new car with just a single tailight, and a small one at that, back then.

    Cadillac BLS, a car that should not exist at all.
  • tom1sharon2tom1sharon2 Member Posts: 40
    Yeah, the good ol' days when you had to stick your arm out the window to signal a turn. Imagine doing that in today's driving environment.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682

    Correct on both counts. :sick:

    I think it's a great car for the European market. I'm not in "awwwww" by it's styling but do think it's a decent design.

    Rocky
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Because this car is nothing more than a reskinned Saab 9-3, which is a reskinned Opel Vectra, which will be sold here more or less as the Satun Aura, and is the half-brother of the Pontiac G6 and Chevy Malibu. Cimarron II, in other words. Put that body on the Solstice chassis and you'd have a Cadillac worth offering in the European market.
  • rockyleerockylee Member Posts: 14,017
    Ok, good point. :)

    Rocky
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    It shouldn't exist because the Cadillac brand has little status in Europe. There's nothing the BLS has that a savvy Euro buyer couldn't get from Saab, Volvo, BMW, Opel or, for that matter, Ford.

    Have seen a few of those at the local weekly car gathering in the summer. AMC has a pretty deep history in the city I live in.

    Doesn't look like a SC/Rambler (no hood scoop), but it's a Rambler, circa 1969.

    1969 Rambler Rogue. The high end version of the American.
